I've lived all over the US over the years. I really enjoyed New York City (Brooklyn) but it isn't for everyone. I didn't want to raise children there, but it's a great place for eating your way around the world and walking miles a day. I also like the spartan yet lush environment of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. That's a place where surviving the heat, the dry, and the sharp is an art, but it is a beautiful terrain with glorious colors and cultures.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and still would like to move back there. It smells and feels right, I miss the fresh fish, and there is great gardening.
