    I also moved to Washington and found so many things to love there but ultimately, it wasn't for me. It was beautiful but too constant, too expensive, and I found the people less friendly then my home state of Illinois. My husband and I moved back to IL, but we never regretted moving out there because it was such a great learning experience and adventure. We might not put down permanent roots here in IL either but I love the adventure and it's a great plan to explore lots of different places to see where your spirit meshes best. Best of luck!

      I feel the same way. And now so many people have and are moving here. It’s just too crowded, even up here in Stanwood (Lake Goodwin) where I live. It used to be so quiet, so beautiful and it felt very rural. Not anymore. It’s sad because I love the trees, the greenery, the rain and the smell of fresh soil, but I too hate the politics.

    I've lived in western Washington my whole life - I definitely agree with you about the cost of living being a down side to the area. But I disagree with you about there being no fall. It could be because this is the only place I've really experienced the season, but personally, it's my favorite of the year. We still have the evergreen trees, but the deciduous ones all have such wonderful colors in the fall. There is reprieve from the summer heat, a new season of drizzly rain after a few months of drought, the grasses and other small plants come back to life with that new rain, and the air just smells different - fresh yet earthy.

      Maybe it was the area she lived in? Not all areas grow or develop the same. In more earthy areas, the fall season really thrives and you can even find toadstools and various types of herbs that wouldn’t grow as easily or at all as in other areas.

      Moreover, since we're talking about affordable livestyles, why not dig into off-grid, earthships, and frugal/zero waste movements? I'm dipping my nose into those now, because I'm Italian and with the consequences of big economical problems in my family (due to my dad) and I love the idea of find a home for "cheap" to renovate in the future and have lifestyle as sustainable as I can.

    If you've never been there, you might want to spend a few weeks in Michigan's Upper Peninsula & Lake Superior. I'm moving back there after living all over for the last 11 years. It's rural, winters are brutal & last much longer than elsewhere, but it's also magickal. Go there in Summer for a few years and you won't want to leave.
    You seem pretty self-sufficient and resourceful... that's what it takes to live in the U.P. Lots of people only stay for the Summer and live elsewhere in Winter... nice if you can do that, but the locals respect people who are resilient and can stay through Spring & eventually become a local. Pasties (a meat & potato hand pie) are a local cuisine... there are recipes online if you want to try that first. 🙂

    As a Washington Native who has lived outside my state, I have not found a place I enjoy better, perhaps it's the familiar part of it. I guess maybe I am also used to the cost of living here and after living in Hawaii it doesn't seem as bad lol. Speaking of Hawaii, living there I learned I did not like perpetual summer like I thought I would. For you it may seem like there is no fall, for me, I definetly feel that change, but it is maybe more subtle than what you are used to. The leaves are just starting to turn and soon will be a glow of red, orange and green. I was super happy to find that the plantain grows in abundance in my yard, I also have chamomile as well, it's been fun to discover them after all this time. My figs will be ripe soon and I am looking forward to making some fig jam this year.

My favourite place is Devon in the UK, I'm currently living here and I am very in love with this place... but I'll have to leave in a few months. It's sad and though I love it so much, I know I'm not meant to settle here. There is another place that is calling my soul, I haven't been there yet but I will hopefully get to explore it soon. Devon will always have a special place in my heart, even if I'm not meant to live here forever. ❤️

    I moved to the San Juan islands from California three years’ ago, and for me the biggest shock was adjusting to seasonal changes. It feels the opposite of “constant” to me, but wildly different from Seattle. I also have health issues that make heat impossible, and the islands are fabulous for someone like me who struggles with extreme temperatures.
    It absolutely feels like “fall” to me right now. We don’t have the dramatic colors, but I’m still reeling from how quickly the days shorten, the sky darkens, the temperature drops, the rain and wind have now started, and my horses are busy growing their winter fur.
    Financially, my comparison is California, and so it feels almost ridiculously inexpensive. Island life does raise prices, but we compensate by growing a lot of our own food and planning better for what to get when we go to the mainland. The other thing I’ve never experienced until the islands is an informal barter and favors culture. That’s probably saved us many thousands of dollars here already.
    But I had to live in many many places in the world before finding the one that feels right.
    It’s always worth continuing to explore. You’ll know when you know 💁‍♀️.

We definitely have 4 seasons, although 3 of them are wet, and none of them are extreme (this summer was a bit of an exception and may be the way of the future).

Or perhaps I became homesick for the Appalachian mountains.

    Im from nys and looking to leave for many reasons. You're young and will find the place that says home to you. The great thing about going home to VA is family and knowing the land will always embrace you. 😊 NYS is great for a variety of reasons, including foliage, so is WA, Maine, Vermont, Tennessee, etc. So many states so many good things. You'll find your happy space. You'll know it in your heart.

I understand that complex mix of emotions that comes from loving a place that is ultimately not for you right now. Safe travels.

    This is a beautiful video, Annie. I’m right at the border of Tennessee and Virginia, and I don’t think I could ever leave the landscape. There’s nothing quite like it! I understand the difficulties associated with some of the people here when you live a life like I do, but the landscape is just something special that I couldn’t leave if I tried. Honestly, I feel like you’d love Pennsylvania because it’s quite similar to this region. I was born in PA, and I still miss it tremendously. It’s a very similar landscape to the area I live in now, but PA is wonderful, particularly western PA. Eastern PA has a lot of Amish in the countryside, which is great, but it’s just not my cup of tea. Western PA is my favorite! And they have big seasons! Anyway, you’re an incredible person, and I can’t wait to witness your journey to finding where you’d like to plant your roots!

    We just moved our kids to Missouri near the Arkansas border. Gainsville Missouri actually. We chose it there because it is in a growing zone 7a. It gets a couple of months really hot and humid, usually July and August. But if you go up just a tad into zone 6 of Missouri it will be a little cooler but still, have the benefit of being in a healthy plant growing zone. To live there is much much cheaper. In the area of Jefferson City Missouri, it is a 6a which means you will get all four seasons. It is not an area of tornados or other scary things. The population is about 42,000 so it is big enough but not to big and you should be able to get work...although I am not sure what you do. My daughter grew up in Wyoming and has lived in Idaho for the last 9 years. They are absolutely loving Missouri! They bought a house on 9 acrers for only 69,000! You could find a place to rent easily for around $500. The area is very soothing on the soul. I see your struggle and thought this might give you food for thought. If you want to chat I am here or Facebook.

When you speak about Virginia it makes it's just how I feel about Iowa. Thank you for sharing this.

    I love the mystymornings, I never knew that is what plantain looked like I see it everywhere it has a mild bitter taste, I used to sometimes pick chew on it when I was a child out of curiosity.
    After your video on making your charm, I realize that over the past few months I have been seeing flash visuals of myself taking the lavender and mint I have growing digging out my rarely used (because I am terrible at it ) sewing machine making a small bag and putting in the lavender and mint (I have both chocolate and spearmint growing) so I did just that and have the tiny bag mildly wedged between my rearview mirror and roof in my car. I really need to pay more attention to those tiny flash messages I receive at times, I get them ignore them, but then something comes along like your video on your shaker jar that reminds me of it , it is almost like I am supposed to do it, but I don't hehe I probably sound like a person that is out there and that is ok.
    the one major thing about west coast like Washington and British Columbia, Canada is that fall- winter it has rain a fair amount of rain (they call i t the Wet coast) which is why it is so green. but once a person accepts this they see the beauty in it, the sound and feeling of water falling from the sky that is clean and has song.
    I hope you get to see the Harvest moon coming it in a couple of days.

    Northern West Virginia is beautiful, if you want to check it out. Not too far from childhood home, but West Virginia is so different from Virginia. The hills and mountains are so gorgeous and different but I think it will still strike you as home with all the wildlife that is the same. Food is WAY cheap and if you choose to live in the rural areas outside the college towns you may be happy with the people. All the seasons are the same as virginia but the mountains tend to dull the weather. I just have to brag about my home state and hope you consider. Love you.

    As someone who was born and raised in the Rockies ive always wanted to visit the Appalachian and New England states. Something about that side of the state seems like it feels so old and peaceful. The Rockies themselves are young in terms of mountains and the area is also young in terms of buildings so maybe that's why, to me, even though I was raised here, it feels young and busy. Funny how people from opposite areas want to visit the other 😂 grass is always greener as they say

Northeast Ohio (Cleveland/Akron/Canton) is a great blend of the magic of city life and the tranquility of rural life. We have gorgeous parks with unique topography, but just a short drive north and you hit one of the Great Lakes, which live up to the moniker. It’s a very underrated place to live. We’re like the meeting point of all worlds here. Plus, still only a day’s drive from family when you feel the mountains calling you back. Just a thought to ponder. 😊
