A random 2 year stint somewhere

If you could live in any city for 2 years, which city would you pick?

This is a tough question, I think, because as I’ve gotten older I’m realizing there are so many places to live and explore just here in the United States. When I was younger I might have said something like Paris or Rome, because of the history and some kind of weird “prestige” I could lord over my friends. These days, though, I’m not as concerned with that, I just want to explore and experience the sights, try all the foods, and so on.

Spending a week in Savannah gave me a taste of what life would be like if I lived somewhere with decent public transportation and plenty of things to do within walking distance. This gives me the idea that maybe I could step it up and try living somewhere where the people heavily rely on that kind of lifestyle, like New York City. Although, I wouldn’t mind trying to live in Austin, Texas for a couple years, either. One of them gets snow, which I already live with so that’s not a problem, and the other gets plenty of warm weather almost year round, which could elevate the experience of getting around on foot.

I think I’d probably try my luck in NYC, if only because it’s older and has so much more to offer. I could pack a lot of activities into two years there.
