I've come across a site which aims to match your needs and lifestyle to places around the U.S., after you answer a bunch of questions.

I was wondering if anyone has actually moved to places suggested by this site and if so, what do you think of the place once you moved there.

Did it suit you?

I tried the site and loved it. Most of the cities it suggested for me were cities I had considered moving to (but have not moved yet). The key is to take your time taking the quiz. It is very lengthy.

I actually grew up in one of the towns it suggested and went to college in another town (that sucked). I am actually trying to move to one of the towns that was suggested to me.

I agree. Most of the cities, and a couple extra, I had considered moving to before. But alas, I can't seem to get to any of them just yet! But really, it asks a lot of questions and seems to pull the information out of those answers to come up with good locations. That's been my experience. I am working toward a better climate though, so hopefully, I will be able to tell you how my experience went once I'm outta here.

Oh, and I'll have to try those other sites...didn't know about them, so thanks!!

True...but you don't pay anthing and I haven't noticed any repercussions from signing up...like spam email for example. It's strange they want the info but maybe that helps them keep running the site..idk.

I had to laugh, I just did this and the first town suggested was my most recent ex-boyfriend's town. Funny because I would NEVER have moved to such a small town, but of all places to be first on the list. Really? If I was still dating him he'd find this reason enough to pack me up and move me there.
