So as I mentioned previously we are currently living with my parents. (one more nod to how glamorous this is.) Honestly, it is the greatest gift and I am forever grateful. With our time here a big conversation piece is WHERE DO WE GO NEXT?! With both Sean and I both working from home, we can sort of set up shop anywhere. So where should we go? It is really exciting and also daunting to think of all of the places we could potentially end up.
One of the locations that has stood out lately is North Carolina. One of Sean's coworkers is leaving Utah for North Carolina and talked about the affordable housing, up and coming tech bubble, and beautiful environment. After looking further I was shocked to see houses within 20 minutes of lovely beaches for 150-200k. WHAT. There are also incredible mountains nearby as well. We would be right in the midst of historical sights too. Lots of positives here, right?
Some down sides? North Carolina has the highest concentration of pig farms. This is not just a bummer for my sad vegan heart but also there are some serious health risks associated with living near pig farms. Luckily the areas we are interested would not be near those areas but the fact that it is happening is a huge downside. Another downside is how far away it is from all of our family. Have you lived far away from family? What are your thoughts?
We always said we would never go east but for some reason we feel really open to the idea of taking a chance on a brand new place.
