Des Moines has a surprising amount of bike paths and sweet breweries. It’s a pretty sleepy town but if you happen to get stuck here there are some charming spots!

I’ve lived here for 11.5 years & been a landlord the entire time. A 1 bedroom starts at 1000, and that’s not in the city center. I have no idea why they’re saying it’s dangerous. There’s literally cops putting bike traps up to tempt people into stealing because there’s so little crime. It’s incredibly safe and welcoming to people of all races & genders. It’s also dry, incredibly dry with forest fires in the summer so the smoke can be intense for several months. It’s not rainy

What I tell people is it's windy, dusty and at times smells like cow poop. It's hot and if not it's cold. The water tastes terrible but will keep you from dying. BUT, the people are great, I have met only one sourpuss and he was from L.A. OH well, the rest make up for it. love it here.

All in, Austin is a good city. We live in Hill Country now so we're a bit removed. But it's beautiful area once you get away from the highways. A good tech scene. Not too expensive (~$2100 for a nice 2 bedroom apt) for the U.S. Has wineries and breweries galore. Not a great place if you are a recovering alcoholic (!). Cons: extremely hot in the summer; reaches 110 F (43.3 C) in summer afternoons from June - September. Not very diverse. Highways are loud and obnoxious.

In it's current iteration, Houston is a wide-spread, vehicle dependent city and would be a difficult place to exist as a Nomad without a vehicle. Downtown Houston was once a desolate cluster of office buildings that was abandoned at sundown. But now, downtown is currently undergoing a transformation and will soon (5~ years) make for an inhabitable and nomad friendly destination.

It's like Denver, but with less hippies, style and outdoorsy people. Most of the city is suburban, and most of the people are basic. Culture and art, while improving, are still undeveloped. As a city, Charlotte seems like a pre-teen still coming-of-age. Not yet cool, but it has potential to get there eventually.

New York is cool. I’ve visited multiple times to see my family throughout my life, and recently came back from my first post-COVID trip there. Yes, it’s very expensive — but there is no city on earth that’s more captivating in my opinion. I used to think that New Yorkers were smug by claiming that NYC was better than everywhere else, but now I totally get it lol. My personal favourite neighbourhood is the Upper East Side, which is where you’ll find the coveted Museum Mile. But I also

Seattle is a great city, especially if you like nature, there are plenty of outdoor activities to do all year round. People are generally open-minded and friendly. The cost of living is high but it allows you to be able to afford other places on earth easily if you can find a job here. You can also find plenty of good restaurants and arts around in the city. I recommend to stay at least 3-6 months to get the feel of living a PNW life.
