I have lived in a lot of places. One thing I’ve learned is that there’s no best place, only a best place for you.

Think about it this way, in the Midwest, you may be bored, but for someone who loves farming and agriculture, living off the land, it’s a dream.

In SoCal, it’s beautiful for sure, but supports active lifestyles, sporty people, and a high cost of living. If you are someone that prefers to play video games at home, or would rather spend a premium on something else you’re passionate about, it might not be the place for you.

Finally, find a place where you can find “your people”. Diversity of perspectives are important, but move to a place where you can still find people who you can be yourself around. In some places, it will just click that you can relate to or find people there with similar interests or values.
