If you could pick up and go..

Published

Considering the professional, geographic and demographic environments, if you had an opportunity to move anywhere in the US for a short or long while just for the experience of it, where would you want to go?

I would definitely want to go to either Utah or Idaho, someplace with mountains.

I think I would go to NYC or Hawaii. Mountains sound lovely, too ....but there are too many things that can eat a full grown human out in those states.

Someplace in northern CA, where they have nice scenery, so I could work under a union and make big bucks.

Big yes to Alaska, some location that only can be reached by boat or plane--and no cell towers.

I would really like to check out Seatle because I like the rain and the all around weather seems phenomenal to me. I guess I'll have to settle for a southern state instead when we run screaming from Illinois before we retire since Seatle is so far away! :roflmao:

Los Angeles, San Diego, Charleston, SC, Gettysburg, PA, or somewhere in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I have visited all of those places and they intrigue me enough to want to try living there for a while.

The Michigan UP is nice. I live in MI and that is one of my favorite places. I love driving along route 2 which goes along lake Michigan. Copper Harbor is absolutely beautiful.

If I could pick up and go anywhere there are lots of places I would like to see. I would love to see Alaska, Hawaii, NYC, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona.

I did pick up and go.The ideal "professional, geographic and demographic environments"is subjective. For ME, Hawaii was a great experience and Arizona was a nightmare.

Are considering travel nursing?
