Not sure if this is the right thread...sorry if its not.
So I'm 30 (I don't look 30, 25ish), single, solid 7...maybe 8 out of 10 (depending on the person), in good shape, and financially I'm pretty good. Not because I make alot, I'm good with my money. Though, I do feel underpaid with my job and it bores me to tears much of the day. I work in the field so I spend ALOT of time solo in my car driving around.
Recently, I tried working things out with "the one that got away" and that didn't work out. She became too religious for me. I tried but I just couldn't get to her level. The girl I loved doesn't exist anymore.
I've realized I escape my troubles when I travel...and I've traveled alot. It's kinda when I feel alive. I've been to 4 countries, 24 countries. But I'm starting to think I'm just covering up my issues with a passport stamp.
So I'm bored with my job, my love life is damn near rock bottom, and I'm able to relocate in a month or so.
I live in Southern California. I'm so over the heat (100+ all week), high cost of living, and being in area filled with so many memories.
I've been thinking on and off of relocating to Portland or Seattle area. I'm worried that this is again just running away but I feel like a need a new start.
My younger sister lives with me and she said she'd likely go with me if I do.
Has anyone ever just needed to get away to get where they want to be?
I don't know if this goes in the psychology forum or what, but seriously, the PWN is one of the most relaxing, beautiful places I've ever been to. If you're not happy where you are, I would do it.

Please, for the love of god (or whatever floats your boat) don't relocate to Seattle or Portland. You'll find that the love you seek will only get worse there. Seattle is nice but the cost of living is creeping up on that of LA, and traffic......forget about it, might as well sell your car and either ride the bus or walk to work. From one stranger to another, I would think very seriously about not relocating to Seattle. I just moved away from the greater puget sound area (Puyallup, 45 miles south of Seattle) over to eastern WA in a little town named Davenport, WA. I too travel allot as part of my job. I think new scenery is definitely a good start for renewing ones mindset, but Seattle makes me cringe. Maybe because I hate everything about western wa. I'm an outdoors person as well as my wife and 3 children, in Western wa you can expect any plans made outdoors to be ruined 80% of the time due to rain.

I was about 27 and single when I moved to Southern CA from the Midwest and it was a great move for me. I have since moved a couple times again. I didn't target any area in particular, I just felt like doing something new and that was were I got a job I thought I'd like. Many times starting new is a great thing as it opens you up...I'd recommend it. My next moves were more planned around family, so those were different.
