Why do you live where you live?
Submitted by memtony.
I like comfort, shun change. Yeah, I know. Boring. Eat me. I live less than 10 miles from where I was born. The only time I lived farther from home than that was during college and that was all of 45 miles or so away. Yeah, I've got wanderlust deep in my bones.
So why am I where I am? I love the area. Mountains (albeit small ones), forests, streams, a reservoir.... this is what I love. I live in the Pocono Mountain region of Pennsylvania and have never wanted to leave. Life is a bit slow paced, but I can visit NYC or Philadelphia (each about a two hour drive) any time I want something different. Maybe someday I'll leave and set down some roots somewhere else, but I doubt it, at least until after retirement. For now, my exposure to the world will be limited to vacations. I'm fine with that!
