I'm bored what city should I move to?

Question

I am bored with life right now, I want to move to another city. I live in Pittsburgh, its the same thing every week, same people. Boring life in a boring town. I want to move to a new city, I work from my computer so I can live anywhere. I would like a city that is young and vibrant, preferably on the east coast, good nightlife, and I guess I would be open to moving to Europe if anyone is high on a city there. Obviously, I will do more research but all help is appreciated. Feel free to message me with ideas also later ty.

Answer 1

Before I opened this and saw the details, I was going to say Pittsburgh because I loved living there! However, I have also lived in Philadelphia and can say it's a really great, vibrant, young city with plenty to do. The cost of living is higher, but you will escape that small-town stagnancy that tends to exist in Pittsburgh. Although I loved Pittsburgh, I know what you mean about the same old thing. Philadelphia is excellent. Cleveland is also a great place, but you may find the same social situation as Pittsburgh there... too many people who have lived there their whole lives without ever moving away or trying something new. I would avoid New England because the cost of living is a nightmare. Cities like Boston and Providence are rife with corruption and rotten people. Hartford is a run-down, non-happening joke, and anything farther north is going to be bucolic no-man's land. Good luck!

Miami is a great city for nightlife, beach, culture and everything. Only prob is it is a little expensive. You can get an apt in Little Havana for around $800/month and it is an ok area and 5 mins from the beach. And in Little Havana you can find restaurants where you can eat delicious food for as little as $4-5 a plate.

If you are interested in moving to Europe, now is the time to do it. I moved to Europe (Greece) last November and found lots of great housing deals because tourist season is low. However, living in cities may be significantly more expensive than living in towns. Try one of the towns in Spain not far from Madrid. For culture and old-town feel, Toledo is great. And if you live closer to Madrid you can always travel into town for nightlife. Towns and villages are great because street markets are a wonderful way to live cheaply and enjoy great food. I don't recommend moving to Greece--it was harder for me to adjust here than other places I have lived.

Well good luck!

Why not try Canada, just a little north of Pittsburgh in Toronto. You will not find a transition as hard and yet be in a large exciting city. You will find the temperatures similar, we are on the water (Lake Ontario). Still Eastern Standard Time, and if hard pressed for American television we get that too. Also get Canadian television...so you can get a different viewpoint on world events. Also we have a cool arts scene.

Try Anchorage, Alaska. Now, just because it's Alaska doesn't mean we live in igloos!

Alaska is the best of many worlds. In the summer the parties go on 24/7 because we have 23 hours of daylight for four months! On summer solstice, Anchorage holds one of the biggest block parties in the world - all of Anchorage participates and it draws people in from miles around!

We fish the different seasons - King Salmon, silvers, reds or you can ocean fish for halibut, etc. If you want, you can enter the big derbys where theyy give away four wheelers, trucks, boats and vacations every week to the person with the biggest fish!

You can hike thousands of trails, hike up to glaciers or see Mt. McKinley. There air sight seeing tours, bout tours and train tours, including murder mystery tours. There's camping. We even have snow machine races on the lakes - not frozen ones, either!

Let's not forget the festivals! Every town has a festival in the summer. Seward has a fourth of July festival with one of the toughest and brutal foot races to the top of a mountain and back! Anchorage has festivals/city markets every weekend. Palmer has the state fair.

In the winter, the parties are still 24/7 because what else is there to do in the dark?...(Besides that!)

Well, lets see. Sking, snow boarding, snow machining and races, motorcycle races on the frozen lakes, dog mushing and the Iditarod, Furrondi -a really big festival with races, competitions, carnivals, ice sculpturing, formal balls, galas, flea markets and the list goes on!

My favorite part of Alaska?? The beauty. I live in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, surrounded on three sides by mountain ranges and the fourth side by the inlet. In the summer I'm pleasantly warm but never too hot or humid, therefore no high air conditioning bill! I can drive through town, Anchorage-Elmendorf AFB-Ft. Rich, wearever I'm at I can see wild life. Eagles, foxes, bears, moose, swans, deer and even wolves occasionally. They are still in the wild and i can see them from my car or my living room window. I even had a moose walk into my dining room for thanksgiving!

My husband opened the door to go out and the moose thought he was being invited in! It took both of us to push the young bull back out, but not before I took pictures and he ate the stuffing!

There is no state tax and Anchorage has no sales tax! We have big 5 story malls, every fast food joint known to man, excellent restaurants, bars galore, houses, apartment buildings, Sears, JC Penney and, of course, we have the worlds most renowned Wal-Mart. It cleared the red in less than a year! Now the Wasilla store is becoming a hyper-mart. And the best - Wasilla, Alaska is the official "DUCT TAPE CAPITAL" of the world.

Answer 5

Boston is a great city for young people. Lots to see & do there. I lived there for 15 years and loved it.

Now I live near NYC--another excellent place for young people...or any age.

In both cities you will never be bored. And both have great colleges in and around them, so there's always a young, vibrant population.

In NYC you will NOT need a car.

In Boston....um....you won't WANT a car (driving = insanity)

Warning: housing is very expensive in both places. :-(

Answer 6

whatever you do.....go. Don't sit here and turn into a work-a-holic like me. You end up alone, afraid to go out, and bored, the tv on, but staring at the ceiling. Even if you have to live in a box on the street...it would be better than my days.

Answer 7

Detroit is the best sports city in North America. And you could keep cheering for the Steelers and no one would mind.

Answer 8

Try Moscow, Tokyo, Beijing, New York or London. These sities are bubbling, they are anything but not boring.

Answer 9

Cleveland Ohio is a good place to move to. I vouch for it.

Answer 10

NYC, it's so pretty!
