I currently live in wisco and have wanted to move to colorado for a while. i love to season change and that there's alot to do in every season but I belong in the mountains. Im not quite sure where to move to though. I visited Denver a while ago and it left a great impression on me. I work in the medical field as a surgical assistant for oral surgeons and am also a massage therapist. So I quess im just asking to get some infor bout where to move and what areas have the best job availability but have a decent distance from the mountains/parks and are close to a good city?

3. Denver, because that's where the jobs in my field are

4. No other states in mind, actually moving in March

5. Nothing holding us back

6. Also have a sister in Breckenridge, so that helped slightly with our decision to move to Colorado, always nice to have family close by. The rest of the family is in WI and can't see ever wanting to move back to NE WI.

[liljen2616]

1) Current City and State = Lake geneva WI

2) Why do you want to leave = Always wanted to live near the mountains and have been to co but not recently. Denver left and impression though. Im tired of this area it really doesnt fit me although i love to season changes cuz there's always something to do no matter what season it is. I love to be outdoors and find it hard sometimes in our harsh winters to be locked up. I heard that there's 300+ days of sunshine plus you have all the outdoor you could want.

3) Where In Colorado and Why = Not sure. Heard that springs is nice because it's close to the city yet your not to far from the mountains. Im young and want to be near both. City for the nightlife and mountains cuz Im an outdoor junkie. need some help on this one



4) 2nd and 3rd Place States = arizona and ?

5) What’s currently holding you back from moving = I currently own a home which im trying to sell. Too much maintance and too much $. I want to rent in co a townhome or condo. Also the economy. I work as a surgical assistant for oral surgeons and would be looking in that field or a massage therapist.

6) Anything else you want to tell us that we dont know? = Was reading some things on the threads about the weather and jobs and renting etc. and just am looking for as much infor as i can get. I obviously have to wait until my house sells. So to sum it up my boy and I love the outdoors, want to rent near a city thats also close to the mountains/parks, not looking for anything expensive probably in the $1000 or below renting range and are looking to be around nature and open minded people. Does this place exist?

2) Why do you want to leave = Crazy cost of living, too crowded, illegal alien problem, I'm a minority in my own town now.

6) Anything else you want to tell us that we dont know? = Lived in Michigan for 1 year as a child and HATED it.

I think Colorado is probably the best State in the West, and I love the nice people there.
