Sometimes we want to experience different things, as human beings. There's a great big world out there filled with different people, opportunities, etc.
The culture in some areas is quite different from others. I moved, excited about the prospect of experiencing people with different attitudes. Sometimes people want a kind of culture that isn't provided in their hometown.. sometimes they have an interest that cannot be fulfilled by staying in the same town.
Sometimes they are just searching for themselves. Often people feel as if they've been controlled or following a set path for a long time and just want to be "themselves" - and a new area seems to facilitate that.

I moved away from where I grew up when I was 27 (with my hubby). That was almost 19 years ago (I'm about to turn 46). We have lived in 4 states and 6 different cities since then. This summer we will move to our 5th state and 7th city. The longest we have been somewhere was 8 years and I thought of that place as home more than where I grew up. Some of the other places we weren't there much more than a year or two, so we just passed through. We have been where we are currently for just over 5 years and it was feeling like home. I hope this next move is permanent (that is our plan). You do adjust to moving and some places do feel like home, especially if you are there long enough and if the place 'fits' you. I have learned something from every place that we have lived and I made sure we explored the area while we were there. I also learned that we can adapt to almost anywhere.

Wanting a big change in life. I moved away from home twice. I still live away from home. I did it because I needed to become more independent and learn how to live on my own. Although there are many reasons a person might move away. I know that I got bored and wanted to meet new people, and my family is crazy so I needed some serious space all the way across the country. I also think that I had to find my own journey in life and see what fit me best and what I like and didn't like. I hope this helps ;-}

Hey,
I think that more than running "to" something or someone, a person may be running "from". Maybe some painful memories or maybe a feeling of a dead end life. I'm answering this question because I was doing both! It's not easy to leave though. Even going to a different market is frustrating cuz you don't have any usual routine to fall back on......................Tink

Most likely a very unhappy home life situation. Less likely, but definitely possible, a traumatic experience or series of experiences in school or in the community.

Their Family Life!

Something stifling their growth. Identity issues. Family dynamics. Boredom. Pain.

Bad memories

Maybe they felt emotionally suppressed. That all their life they have been tied down to their regular lives and they just wanted to break free of that mold.

A drive to achieve their goals on their own is one suggestion.
