Reply to comment by bigdog24681012 in hello, after living almost 8 years in NH , we are moving to AZ. bittersweet feelings. I am sad to leave our beautiful NH. anyone else moving out of state? do you have the same feelings of missing out on the mountains and the NE summer? by crazycurious7

I feel almost the exact opposite. I also grew up in NH and live in Denver now. I’ll never move back. I do kinda miss the years in lived in Portland ME, but the winters were so harsh.

It’s feels to me like NH rejected me. It really couldn’t be a worse cultural match for me. I’m glad I figured it out, because a lot of my friends that are still there really hate it but will not leave for some reason.

I like Colorado, but I might move to the PNW at some point because I miss the water.

I moved from Denver to the Seacoast via other cities and I prefer it here. To each his own I guess

It’s definitely about finding what works for you. I moved from the sea coast to CO in 2004 and my only regret was not moving sooner. For me it’s the 300+ days of sun, no humidity, and barely any mosquitoes. Every time I go back to NH I am blown away by the food and beer, I don’t remember it being that good when I lived there, but maybe I just took it for granted 🤷🏻‍♂️

The food and beer being good is definitely a recent thing. It’s not nostalgia. Craft beer blew up 10 years ago and restaurants in New England used to cater only to the blandest, whitest palates.
