There’s No Place Like Home…

Well, that’s what they say. But as someone that has moved approximately 20 times in her 25 years, I’ve never really had that sense of home. Up until age 18, I lived in Southern California (various cities in Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties), so I call that whole area home. Then I lived in Providence for four years (ah, good old Providence College), and have now been in Boston for three. Maybe that’s more than you need to know….

Anyways, I’ve never been sure about where I’d end up – so much of that depends on circumstances that I just can’t foresee yet. But I was recently told about this very cool website, Find Your Spot, that matches you up with your perfect city based on your opinions. I took the 20 minute long quiz, answering questions about my weather, cultural, city size and geographical preferences, and they came up with a list of my top 24 cities. SO MUCH FUN!

My number one spot is Baltimore (aka The Sparkling Harbor City), which is interesting because I’ve NEVER considered living there. But after reading the four-page description, it’s something that I might explore. Other cool spots on my list? Boston (#9, America’s Walking City), Providence (#10, New England’s Best Kept Secret), and Ventura, CA (#10 – the CA city I spent the majority of my time in – The Buena Coast) were all on there, along with D.C. (where I was thinking of moving next), Santa Barbara, CA (one of my favorite SoCal towns), and various Maryland/Virginia places (where I’ve become very curious about). 

This was SO much fun. Try it. And let me know about your results.
