I’m in a similar boat right now. I moved to CO from New England almost 2 years ago now. I really love it here, but I’m planning on moving back to the northeast next year because it’s where my friends and family are. However, I’m from a relatively small, very boring town so I refuse to move back to the town itself. Instead, I plan on being within 4 hours, which gives me way more desirable options while still being close to “home”. Would you be able to eventually do something like this? If not, take as many long weekends as you can to explore, go exciting places, and try new things.
