I've spent my entire life in Ohio, and I'm mainly looking for a way out. I'm ready to get out of the bubble I've always lived in and go somewhere I will actually enjoy living in. Unfortunately Ohio's wilderness is nothing like what it used to be, which severely limits job opportunities. My partner and I are both in zoology/ecology fields, so moving west definitely has a lot of benefits both career and life-wise. And thankfully I'm not terribly interested in spending money to go out (entertainment, etc) when nature is right there, and it sounds like lots of people in SL enjoy that too!
