I have done some soul-searching and reasoning over the past 24 hours about all the living options I blogged last night.  The possibilities are truly endless but I have it narrowed down.  My first choice is San Francisco.  The public transportation is phenomenal and there are many job opportunities.  I’ve applied for a few and began to look for apartments online.  The only thing now is to save up a bit of money so that I can make the big move.  I have a goal and can’t wait to do it!!!

After returning home from my great European adventure I am feeling restless.  I have got “the bug” as some may call it.  I’m feeling the urge to travel more or at least change-up my day-to-day routine.  I am back in the small town where I grew up and thinking of my next destination constantly.  I think I want to move to a large city again but this time somewhere far away. 

 I have a short list of places that intrigue me.  Number one: New York.  I know you are thinking that is the stereotypical big city for a twenty-something to move to but I just love it!  I had the pleasure of visiting a few summers ago and would love to go back.  Next, San Francisco.  The water reminds me of Seattle but there is so much more hustle and bustle that catches my eye.  Third on the list is the nation’s capitol, Washington, D.C.  I love the transportation and the history.  There is such a sense of pride within the district that is hard to find elsewhere.  The fourth city is one that I have never visited but still piques my interest, Boston.  It’s a large city and one of the oldest.  A few pluses are the very low crime rate and thriving economy.  Lastly, I choose Philadelphia.  Home to the Liberty Bell and cheese steak sandwiches, how could you not love Philly?  I love the east coast mentality.

That’s quite a list, I know.  I just feel as though I need to see another part of these great United States.  Each state, county & city has so much to offer.  I want to experience as much as possible in my short time on Earth.  Why not meet new friends in all the corners of this country, and hopefully someday soon, world?
