I’ve returned to the States for short periods as an adult to test if I ever wanted to live back there, and realised I absolutely did not. There are things I appreciate though. The openness and can do attitude of people in general. I like Colorado as a state and could appreciate Chicago too.
I can maybe imagine myself in Boulder for a few months and NYC, but that’s about it. I practically fled LA after 2 months. Cities built for cars are not for this girl.
