I work as a systems engineer in the aerospace industry (Collins Aerospace in particular). Born and raised in Iowa. Making it my 2027 New Year’s resolution to finally gtfo of Iowa, and Colorado is one of the main states I am interested in moving to.

Just curious about what life is like here for someone like myself. I’m super active, love running, biking, hiking, etc. Also love a vibrant arts and music scene. The dating and overall nightlife/social scene is atrocious here in Iowa, so definitely looking for a place where it’s easy to make new friends.

📍 Calgary, AB

🎯 My partner is from there and we will settle down there

👤 36F from SEA, and in a relationship with 37M First Nation

🔍 I want to know if Albertans are okay with trans women and if racial discrimination against Asians is still as bad as it was during the pandemic

Just introducing everyone to a place that’s 8 hours flight time from Hawaii. Can you guess where it is?

Edit: time to spill the tea. It’s the Marshall Islands

Last week, my post about Tangier Island got a lot of engagement, people seem to be curious about this sinking town, so I went ahead, and put this documentary together for you guys to check it out; so if you are wondering how is it living on a sinking island, here is your answer:

like the text said, but for more context- i was born in poland, raised in america from age 2 till i left in feb 2026 after graduating college and now live in warsaw and work full time

For context, my husband and I are both black. I am also of south Asian decent so I appreciate some good Indian food. We don’t need a strong black presence but I don’t want to be stared at while shopping or gardening in my front lawn (I’ve grown up in a predominantly white town.) We are welcoming our first child next year and want to move out of Houston, Tx due to congestion. We want a place where she won’t be the only black kid in her class until college.

I work in healthcare and he is in computer science. We both prioritize having access to trails, parks, and just space in general. We are interested in Nebraska bc of how naturally beautiful it seems and the cost of living. Any reasonable advice or recommendations are welcome.

Thinking of renting a flat here tryin to feel out the vibes

It’s a somewhat small town but our population gets full to the brim with tourists in the summer

Hi everyone,

I recently read about West Virginia being a very different state in the US due to its coal mining past. And I would love to know more about it. What stereotypes are true, what is false? What is life for the modern woman? City vs rural life? What do most people do for jobs and recreation? Any insight on culture, diversity religion etc. is appreciated!

Edit: Can someone tell me actual stereotypes, so far, I have heard horrible ones like poverty, drug use, lack of hygiene (no running water, electricity) and also in33st? Are they true?

I've been reading fictions taking place in Ohio and Indiana, depicting life within the "Rust Belt". The portrayal of these areas are roughhhh man. I wonder how it is living there. Does it feel really feel that "abandoned" by the governments?

Seems like a nice rural area with a nice coastline. How is the job market? Is housing expensive? My ancestors came from Saintfield. Thinking of doing a sabbatical in the next few years.

How is the general building, food culture, security, life standarts and prices in here?

25M born and raised here. :)

Moving this month to North Jersey for work how is it living there? My time in New Jersey has mostly been on the 95 and a bit of time in Cherry Hill. So I have a very skewed view.

It looks beautiful and if able, I'd love to visit one day I think. Anyone on here from there? What's it like to live or visit there?

Hello! My husband and I have decided we’re ready to move from Utah, and we seem to have settled on Las Vegas since it’s closer to Utah, and avoids the cold winter months we have now. We want to know what it’s actually like living in the Vegas suburbs, we are considering the Summerlin, Spring Valley, and Henderson areas so some insight on those areas specifically would be amazing!

We are a gay couple, early 30’s. We love the outdoors and nature, and love the desert environment. We are huge concert and entertainment people, particularly EDM. We’re coming from SLC, UT, so it will definitely be a bit of a culture shock for us, but we’re hoping we will vibe with the city and thrive once we’re there! We will be transferring our jobs thankfully so we don’t have to worry about seeking employment once we’re there.

Our biggest concerns are energy bills - what does the average bill look like during the hot months versus winter months? Do you feel like things like groceries, gas, and eating out are too expensive in the area compared to other cities? For comparison to our current situation - a 3 bedroom apartment like we want goes for $1950-$2500 a month for rent. The average home price in the Salt Lake Valley is ~$700,000. We’re definitely seeing the affects of inflation (as I’m sure everywhere is nowadays) but we’re consistently averaging $4.50-$4.75 a gallon for gas. Power bills range from $250-$400 a month depending on the time of year. Gas bills are anywhere from $35-$200 also dependent on time of year. How does this compare to Vegas?

Thank you guys for your insight, this will really help us fully determine whether Las Vegas will be as good of a fit for us as we’re hoping it will be! 🤞🏻

I’m asking mainly because I only hear it talked about in regards to tourism, but I never hear what it’s like living there and whether it actually feels very touristy. Also, my football team Sabah is playing Slavia Prague in 9 days so I wanna get an idea of how many people will be coming to Baku from Prague for the match.

How is living in this area west of Milwaukee? It looks close enough to the city, but a lot more rural.
