    Have you stayed local your entire life?

    Lived in CT for my entire life (except 4 years in NY for school). Think its time to start thinking of branching out and exploring more areas of the US. Have you fellas been local your entire lives or have moved around a bit?

    Better to stay local. Moving all around all the time has caused me to not have friends becuase I am sick of making the effort to meet new people. Especially the neighbor folks that judge you on how good the lawn and landscaping look.

    Lived in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and back to Florida. Wouldn't change anything now but it was tough in beginning. If your taking new job - look at the people you are interviewing with / workforce your applying to. If all seem to be around your age and as much like someone you can hang with - that's all you can ask for.

    yea its weird. I feel so comfortable here but also feel sheltered. Being here for 24 years gets you in a frame of mind that everything is always one way.

    Sanchez Europe is freakin awesome man. Will probably going back to the UK and Ireland next year. Huge Soccer fan and got to see Stoke and Watford play at home. Can't wait to go back.

    Lonegambler I feel ya too. I'm in the banking industry so its a lot of people older than me. Gotta feel whether or not the company is worth the jump to another state

    I moved to another country. If moving around some is calling you, follow it. You never know what you might find. Years later, I doubt you will ever say it was the stupidest thing you've ever done, and you might just wind up saying it was the best. You won't regret giving it a shot and you can always go back if it doesn't work it. Don't let time pass you by.

    Was bored one day, got on craigslist to see what kind of places were in south jersey. Two weeks later I was living on the beach and was rotting in the poker room. It's nice to be able to whatever the fukk you want.

    Military brat, lived all over the country. Adult life college and beyond lived in PA, NYC, DC area, SC, FL, and GA. The worst were SC, FL, GA, but great times in NYC and DC area but back in PA but visit both DC and NYC often both within a 1.5 to 2 hour drive.

    Unfortunately, I've lived off the same road in different places my entire life. I want nothing more to get out of this cesspool of a City. I didn't have the balls to put my password in to put 500 on Memphis ML last night. It would have been a nice start.

    Lived in Chicago my whole life but now in Southeast Louisiana for the last 6 years.

    The 2 cultures are worlds apart. I like and dislike stuff from both.

    It's always good to have more experiences.

    See I think moving to another state is a big jump. I'd think another country would be insane, at least the initial culture shock
