The downtown is cute and fun to visit. Besides "Historic 25th Street"(where some scenes of the show Yellowstone were filmed) and the two or three blocks surrounding it, the city is not walkable. There's a lot of fun things to see throughout the year like the Ogden Twilight Concert set in summer, and the Farmers market. Or around Christmas time the city and a bunch of companies put up a 'Christmas Village' which is super fun for kids. On the other side of things, there are a lot of outspoken righ

Did the previous reviewer say world class art and culture? Where would this be because after 2 years there, I was craving art and culture. Like, my experience is the polar opposite so unless art includes street statues that happen a month of each year and if by culture meaning you run into a single black guy on the street, I don't get it. It's really white, very few Hispanics, almost no blacks and few Asians. No museums (outside of historical ones). Most of the Mormons live in Provo if that

Boise is an up and coming city with loads of people moving in. It has accessibility to lots of great outdoor adventures including hiking, biking, rafting/kayaking, hotsprings, and more. There are four seasons, but none too harsh. There's a cool downtown bar scene. Also, the highest concentration of basque immigrants in the world is in Boise, so there are some interesting cultural elements as well as great basque bars and restaurants. Because it is a smaller city, there are some limitations (not

Pro: Practically all places in Provo and Orem have fiber optic internet available. Pro/Con: It's also home to two different 4-year Universities. Con: The city of Provo is so Mormon that they even have billboards that don't make sense if you aren't familiar with their culture, and if you are it's still cringe.

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.

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.

I spent two months in Arequipa and loved most of it! Lovely people and a lot of nature around. The beautiful Colca Canyon is near, where you can also see the Andean Condor or book multiple-day hiking tours. It is close to Puno which you should visit as well and it's easy to go to Cusco from here, to see the famous Macchu Picchu. For working it wasn't that great, unfortunately, with slow internet and the available coworking spaces not quite as nice as I had hoped. It's still okay though, so not

Hospital system is atrocious. Its like having a bunch of shiny glossy hospitals with poorly educated doctors everywhere. Most people end up going to 'Quickcare ER' places that are plastered all over town. Lets put it this way... The school system fast tracks people to become teachers in almost no time at all & they still quit in droves all the time because kids are out of control. Las Vegas desperately tries to buy status & sophistication but its always cartoony and not organic. Its a tow

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.
