My wife and I moved across the country as soon as we graduated college. We wanted to explore the west, live in the mountains, see national parks, and just start our life outside the bubble we grew up in and went to college in. Got pretty awesome jobs, but quickly got sick of chasing money and promotions and our wanderlust has really faded. Don’t get me wrong, It’s been a crazy awesome 3 years, but we decided we want to move back to our hometown and settle down a bit more, not forego traveling, but maybe not as often. It’s not a small city, but it’s definitely not surrounded by mountains. No more early morning 2 foot powder turns up at our resort. Tbh, our life and friends here are amazing, we know it’s just not where we want to raise kids away from family and we want a bit simpler life. I’ll really miss this town and the people, but I couldn’t be happier to be able to see my family more often and have our home back. I learned a lot about myself out in the mountains, thought I would never leave after we first got here, but something changed and what I value changed. I started valuing my relationships more than my hobbies and need for this “adventure”. Guess it’s just tough, cause we love both places, just different lifestyles.
Anyone else move away, chase the “adventure” so to speak, and move back to where your from? What was that like? Any advice?
