I was born and raised in NC, and after college I moved to the west. I lived in Portland, OR, the SF Bay Area, Boulder, CO, and I now live in the Seattle area (though I actually live in the mountains nearby, because I DO like to go whitewater rafting and hiking all the time). All of these places are great places to live and have a lot to offer. Another great place to consider, even if just for a visit, is Australia. It s a beautiful country and the people are very friendly.Have a great time whatever you do!
New York City.(Or for something really different: Montreal!)You may also like Charlestown, SC, or the barrier islands of NC.I m envious!
