Here's the plan: Decent paying remote job.. do all my work online.

Current lease will expire in about a year. Lived in the midwest all my life. Not tied down.

Where should I go? I sort of want to see it all.

Think it's feasible moving around to different locations for a month or two... just finding month to month rentals?

I guess I don't expect any real answers... only I can come up with those. However... I've got to make the best of my unique situation and wondered if you all have any input... anybody toured the nation like this?

If you could go anywhere, and have only lived in the Midwest, I'd say head to NYC. It'd be a great experience and unlike anywhere else. The Northeast and Mid Atlantic area is pretty compact, so getting up to Boston and all the way down to DC is pretty easy also.

If you haven't seen the American West you haven't lived. Do it.

anywhere but the south. you'll feel like you're still in the midwest unless you move to a seriously rural area (due to all the midwestern transplants here)

No place like the West, The West or bust! So many amazing cities to see in the West! Albuquerque, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver, Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles, Seattle, etc

As someone who grew up out West and has been everywhere in the USA…my advice is the East Coast.

The East Coast has it all: Cities like Denver, LA, San Diego, Chicago…etc are very nice - but the USA has only one world class city – NYC. Times Square at midnight on a Friday night is the center of the universe – lol. You have the most powerful political city on earth (Washington DC)…tropical resort cities (Miami, Key West, Palm Beach…etc)…remote mountain/ski towns in New Hampshire, Maine, North Carolina…old historic port cities rich in history (Newport, RI, Charleston, SC, Boston)…the low country cities on the coastal plain of the subtropical Gulf/south Atlantic with a flavor unlike anywhere else in the USA (Savannah, New Orleans,). There’s boating, old fishing villages, colorful subtropical beach towns, remote windswept sands…and the ocean is warm and the land is green. It doesn’t get any better. The best part it’s all on one road – I-95!

You lived in the interior of the USA…its time to try the coast.
