The lifestyle of having everything accessible all at once is lost on me

Convenience vs mindfulness tradeoffs

It's just really hard to make this kind of shift and not be a dirt bag hipster about it

You probably appreciate the convenience of good internet though eh?

Which if that's what I'm doing fuck it I'll just have to embrace it

How about cell coverage?

It's possible satellite internet could work

What's your commute time and how does it compare to where you might move to?

I have a remote job

Satellite is dogshit

There are tons of small towns with just fine internet.

Ideally something like 60mbps would be my minimum requirement

But not all do

It's a consideration

Then we gotta scratch those off the list

Exactly

Need to be able to support myself and save this guala for later

What about the time it takes to get groceries and the like? How much time now vs there?

I have a chest freezer for meat I'm used to buying beef in bulk

Most veggies you can kiiinda keep in the fridge for a week with the right prep

Time wise an hour each way tops

I have all the prerequisite skills for homeownership but I'd rather not sign up for the debt until I decide I'm really gonna hunker down somewhere

But if it's not an option to rent for a bit then I'll just buy

It's all renting either way

Either from some jerkoff or the bank

Cool than that would be ideal for the short term

So I've done some road trips thru south Carolina and had the sudden urge to just stop in a few towns and just not leave. Loved the sleepy vibes of the trees. Wish I remembered what towns they were but I could probably find them again by visual memory if I take the same route to Charleston.

I like Carolina but be careful of the weather.

One thing I dislike living outside my home in the hills is the South can have terrible swamp weather.

Eh it's not terribly different from Georgia just a bit more humid

I'll generally take too hot for too cold

Humidity is the main concern tho 🤔

There are parts of the Carolinas that are just fine.

I guess the trick is to just stay higher elevation?

I love the north Georgia mountains area so I guess I should probably rule that area out first before other considerations right?

Lots of people complain about humidity but I've never had issues with it. Granted I live in a temperate rainforest
It's the flat that gets me

Just since it's close and I can do more accurate canvassing?

Yeah flat would be hard I think I might have a phobia of flat tbh

If it's flat but it's bc I'm in a valley and there's mountains in the view that's fine

Thus far my favorite climates have been desert, mountain, and wooded. But I've never lived in desert just traveled thru a lot

My job takes me out to the left coast 4x a year and I road trip the area every time right after
