Should I live
im thinking if Emigrating from the UK after my time in the forces is done, and The US is an option. I have looked in to jobs/criteria etc and it it possible - but where should I aim to live?
obviously the Job I end up doing will have an impact - but I will probably have a choice so.
I dont like heat much. Im OK up to around 30 deg - 35 at a push but wouldnt want to live where it generally gets hotter (or that hot for perlonged periods) than that in the summer.
I dont like cold. Im Ok down to freezing, and a little below on occasion, but I wouldnt want to live where it generally gets colder that that in the winter.
I dont want to live in a high risk earthquake area
I dont want to live in a high risk Hurricane area
I dont want to live in a high risk tornado area.
I like the sea, but nice lakes will do too. (not to live on or close, but within decent travel distance for weekends/days out if possible.
I like hills. I like mountains. I like woods/forests - ditto for travel distance.
I like (or rather my wife likes) decent shopping areas
I dont like deserts
I dont like very small communities
I dont like very large Cities
I do not believe in God, being a scientist at heart. While I have nothing against religion - I dont want to be surrounded by it, or have it pushed down my throat.
I want somewhere fairly safe for my kids to grow up in.
I want a good music scene.
So - what states/counties/towns/locations should I look at - or have I ruled everywhere out Obviously Its unlikely Ill get everything on my wish list, but the more wants I can tick, and do not wants I can cross off the better.
