I thought and thought about the 'perfect' place for me to move to. Of course there are legal issues with visas and whatnot so I wanted to make it easy on myself and make it the States. I have citizenship but haven't lived there since I was 3.
I like California because it's closer to my home in Australia, than the east coast of the US. I HATE and despise cold weather. It has to be warm and San Diego is about as far south as you can get! Plus it's fairly close to L.A. if I need to go there for any reason. But there is no way I'd want to live in LA because it's too smoggy and polluted, big and spread out, and pretentious with its filthy rich and good looking people (I know that is a gross generalisation but in any case I don't want to live there because I don't want to breathe in bad air pollution, and deal with constant traffic jams).
I know it's a far way off, probably at least 9 months if not more till I move there but I am already planning.
I started reading the San Diego 'network' on Facebook and found out about this site.
San Diego Reader.
It describes each of the suburbs/areas fairly well.
Ideally I want to live near the beach. I love the beach. I am not a typical tanned, blonde beach bunny per se but I just love being near water. If not a beach then a harbour, lake, river, pond, anything. I can't wait to watch the sunsets as its a bit of a novelty for me, since I used to live on the east coast of Australia and can only watch the sun rise.
I just quickly looked on Flickr ..
Mission and Pacific beaches are closer to the city, but La Jolla beach looks nicer. From what I've read, La Jolla is a nice suburb. Actually all the beach-side suburbs are!
I'm an avid photographer and can't wait to capture all the beautiful scenes at my 'doorstep'. :)
