I like the seasons. I really do. I love when they change. As much as I love sand and surf I love when it snows, i love crunchy leaves and their colors.
Seasons evoke some wonderful memories that make them so enjoyable. Now that I'm done with school! LOL
Geography but more specifically, palm trees. I never really understood their appeal until I saw them in person. There is just something healing about them👍🏾
I live in Raleigh NC and I like it. I moved here from W.V.A. I have also spent much time in South FL, and Tampa. a couple things I wanted to mention for those that have never been here: NC actually does accommodate 5 types of Palm trees. Wrightsville beach, top sail, surf city Beach, and Emerald Isle NC are full of beautiful palm trees. There are actually many in the yards of my neighborhood here in Raleigh. Several types of palm trees can withstand colder Temps at fall and winter season. Emerald Isle beach, surf city Beach are my favorites here. The water is Crystal blue/green and nearly white sand. All are 1 hour 50 minutes away. Then you have more beaches like myrtle and Isle of Palms in South Carolina, just slightly further away. If you've ever been in South Carolina, especially Charleston SC it is GORGEOUS. palms are everywhere. I work in Government here in Raleigh. Raleigh is a huge center for tech companies, institutions of higher education, legal, medical and government careers. It's a great diverse job hub here. Almost everyone I've met here is an implant. They are here from all over the country, mainly for work. One of my neighbors moved here to Raleigh from Clearwater FL. With institutions like Duke, NC State, NC A&T, etc... NC is a Great place for young professionals. The cost of living is also decent. There are plenty of beaches and as you mentioned, close to mountains also, so there is plenty of diverse activities to do. Arts and music is very busy in NC also. A short drive to Charlotte for more to see, and close proximity to other states for more variety. I Love Florida and long term goal is to have a vacation home of my own there. Maybe to live there a couple months per year and return to the Carolinas. But I personally prefer Carolina living on a day- to day basis. There are a lot of similarities between the 2 states. NC gets just as HOT as FL summers in Raleigh stay between 90 to 100 degrees. If you like a break from the humidity winters in Raleigh are not bad either. Typically mild. The southern hospitality and kindness of the people is one quality I like here as well. Strangers seem a bit more friendly in the Carolinas than I've experienced in FL. Great video. To each is own!! I tell ppl to Go where-ever your career & skill sets fosters an enviornment
for you evolve and thrive. The rest will fall into place. ❤.
Kimberly, that was so well said and I don't disagree with anything you've said. Thanks for watching and offering your awesome input. Having come back to Florida there are still things I miss about Charlotte and the awesome people there. My son was a competitive ice hockey player in Charlotte and was coached on the AAA teams by Rod Brind'amour. I think you can't lose either way, like you said personal preference. Thanks so much for the great perspective. 😎
This is so helpful. I’m choosing NC.
So glad to hear it helped you. I really liked Charlotte but just needed to be closer to the beach and love Florida's beaches. Good luck with your move and thanks for watching! 😎
No matter where we’re coming from, we envy you and your videos are motivation for some of us to get our butts down there (I’m sure the reason we started watching your videos in the first place) just wanna say you’ll never know how much you put our minds at ease and just stick to our plan! Thanks Terry, you help more than you’ll ever know!! LGM
Music to my ears Frank! Hope you know how much I appreciate you and keep you in mind with the production of every video. Can't thank you enough for all your support and kind words! LGM😎
Florida: Full of Flowers. What a lovely name for paradise ... the blue 🌊, the 🌞 and 🌺 🙏. I can’t wait
That's right Hessa, land of flowers! Discovered by the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon looking for the Fountain of Youth...You know your history! I hope to see you at the live steam tonight at 9pm est. Thanks as always for watching! 😎
I lived in Florida (Sarasota and Clearwater) for about 10 years, essentially the 90s, and have been living in Charlotte for the past 6 years. I prefer the weather in NC. Winters are quite mild but you still have seasons. Not as humid as Florida in the summer. I will also say there are more geographical options near here but it’s also one of my main complaints about Charlotte. The mountains are 2-3 hours away and the beach 3-4 hours away. Traffic isn’t as bad here as in Florida but there seems like there is less to do here. I think I live in the most boring major city in the country. When I lived in Florida it was a pretty cheap place to live and buy a house. From what I understand not so much anymore. Real estate prices are rising fast here as well but I think you can definitely get more house here for the same dollar amount. Also it seems less transient here than in Florida even though 1/3 the city is from up north. Definitely more family oriented and religious here. And even though it’s been 20 years since I lived in Florida there definitely more middle class black families here and less segregated. Maybe Florida has changed but I kind of doubt it. I didn’t hate living in Florida but I didn’t love it either. Can say the same about NC. I guess no place is perfect. Both have their pros and cons.
You hit on some great points AC. Charlotte is a nice place to live but I just felt like time was slipping away and I could be doing more. FL isn't perfect as you say no place is, but we all have to find that place that is perfect for us. Thanks for watching and giving some great perspective! 😎
I was born in Brevard County FL moved to Carteret County NC in 1990 I like both places as a retired licensed charter boat captain I have always lived on the coast I do miss FL even after all these years.
Great perspective Ronald thank you brother!
I've lived in FL my whole life (over 20 yrs) and recently relocated to NC to be with my boyfriend of almost 3 years. Both are wonderful places to live and I definitely miss FL but NC has so many similar things and new experiences so I don't get homesick too much. I do miss being close to beaches and seeing palm trees everywhere but I visit FL often enough that it doesn't bother me too much and I'd love to start a family in either place ^^
Great perspective Darci, thanks for sharing! It's great that you get the best of both worlds and the main thing is you have the right person to share it all with, that's the important thing. Thanks for watching! 😎
Nc has beaches and palm trees also right? I’ve never been
@@ivyrich2777 Yes NC has beautiful beaches but I'm about a 2.5 hour drive to the beach and there's not very many palm trees except near the coast. South Carolina has plenty though
@Sarah G not to disappoint you but Florida is expensive also, $1800-2800 for a apartment
😊😬😋😬
You are a great youtuber. Thanks for making these. Very informative with a great sense of humor.
Thanks for watching Whitney, appreciate the kind words 😎
Florida is Paradise! I have lived here for the past 16 years, however, after 2017 when we had to evacuate due to the mega hurricane Maria it took us 40 hours sitting in traffic driving up on I75 to Tennessee. Florida is getting super populated and hurricanes continue to worsen every year along with the floods. We are considering moving out of Florida for that reason. Florida is a tragedy waiting to happen with the over population and not many highway options to get away from the state in the event of evacuation. As you said the highest point is 345 fee above sea level and the reality is Mother Nature is in control and people need to plan accordingly. Stay safe and God bless everyone
Thanks for the perspective CR, but people in NY, NJ, Louisiana, CT, MD all just got hammered. And we've been pretty good down here for the most part. It's hit or miss you just never know. Me, I like to live where I like to live but I get it. In 2004 we had no less than 5 hurricanes in our path and it was ridiculous. But the winters down here make it all worth it to me. Best of luck my friend whatever you decide you need to feel safe and enjoy life!
It is a tragic waiting to happen
Surprised this didnt get more views. Great job with the editing and very entertaining. I am in the Raleigh-Cary and and enjoy it very much. Pretty easy access to beach and mountains. Florida is great too but too hot most of year. Thanks for sharing.!
Tell me about it lol. Story of my life. These algorithms are a joke but that's life. I used to go up to Raleigh fairly often when my son played travel hockey for the Checkers in Charlotte. Great town and beautiful. Thanks for the kind words my friend and appreciate you watching.
Thank you BV🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞Sun, sand, surf and laughs!!! Another high value episode👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Awesome thanks G!! So glad you liked it 😎
👍👍 Thank you Terry! I have some friends living in Charlotte, they dream about moving to Florida.
Tell them to stop dreaming and start living! Thanks for watching Bella 😎
Both places are beautiful tho. I love the view each of the places offer. 💚❤️
Thanks for watching frend! 😎
That gorgeous orangy-red winter sky was amazing!!!
I do miss that sky sometimes not gonna lie!
Just discovered this channel watching this video and man am I glad I did. BEST channel on youtube! Hello from southwest Florida 🌴
That is so kind of you Stu thanks my friend. I just got back from Ft Myers and will be uploading more
thanks for making this video. I'm in NY and debating between the 2 now. Not a beach person so I don't get a hard-on when I see sand.
I'm glad it was helpful Brett! Good luck with your decision. The temperate weather of the mid-Atlantic might be a great spot for you. Typically milder winters and you still get the seasons which I sometimes miss. Thanks for watching! 😎
I've been an hour south of Tampa for 25 years. I do like it here but the summers are getting longer and much more brutal. I have an Airbnb vacation home in Bryson City, NC. The Smokies. I'll be moving there one day. It's October 25th and just sweltering. A roaring fire in a cabin sounds good right now.
That sounds lovely. 25 years is a long time and change is always good. After 20 years in Florida I embraced Charlotte and the seasons. But I'm happy to be back here.
Agree, climate is a big factor in choosing where to live. While I live in DFW Texas (not the most diverse climate); still has change of seasons that I always look forward to. Nice compare/contrast on 2 great places to live!!!
No doubt the seasons are nice to look forward to and enjoy. We have one lol and thankfully it's right around the corner. Thanks brother! 😎
Thanks for the great quality video. Really thorough and helpful!
Thanks so much for watching Lucas! 😎
Thanks for the info! I'm evaluating the pros and cons of two cities: Sarasota FL and Raleigh NC There' are no hills or mountains in Florida and there are no palm trees in North Carolina, but i'm not a big fan of the beach. Also there are no Winter sports in Florida. But contrary to Raleigh, Sarasota seems to be a cute tidy beach city. Raleigh looks more like a college and high tech town. And last but not least, in Raleigh you get the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. In Sarasota, you get hot Summer all year long.
Hey J.E! You hit on some great points. I spent a lot of time in Raleigh when my son played hockey in Charlotte we would make the 3 hour drive for games and really enjoyed it. It's a great community town, definitely a college feel but more than that too. You have the Hurricanes that play there which are fun to go to. It's also got a great mall and some good outdoor walking spots. If you like the seasons and don't like flat and can live without the beach, I'd say this would be more your speed. You can always make the drive to Myrtle Beach and Charleston if you want to see palm trees which aren't too far. By the way don't discount Charlotte, it's a pretty cool town too. I don't want to misguide you, but the fact you aren't a beach person and you mentioned season I would lean NC, generally speaking. Thanks so much for watching.
@@BarefootVlogger Thank so much for the info! I'm from Puerto Rico and i'm tired of hurricanes (that most of the time, touch Florida after they pass through our island.) I have lived in the States in two occasions. (some years ago) and got some land in Florida. (Lake Placid FL) I've never been to the Carolinas but know people who live in there. By the way, I know a family of Greenville, SC.(I've watched some videos of this city and it seems to be a tidy and cute small city.) Also know a person who lives in Asheville NC, the artsy small city nestle in the wooded hills on the western part of the state. As to Charlotte NC, it looks cool but is too big for my taste. That's why i think Raleigh would be a better choice, since it seems to be a medium-size city, and also the beach is just two hours away. And yes, i'm aware they have also had hurricanes in the Raleigh and Charlotte area, but perhaps once or twice in a decade, if any. (Most of them touch the coast outer banks, though.)
This was a really good video, informative from end to end. Thanks
So glad to hear it thanks CJ! 😎
Same page as you when it comes to winter jackets. I still have 5 of them and I can't let them go cuz they look great on me. Thankfully they come in handy when I go back to NY (though I'll almost never go in the winter anymore).
They're always good to have you never know when you might need one, hopefully just not too often lol
greetings from Portland, OR. You got mention on facebook called "Moving to Florida" and I just now watched my 4th video of yours. Love them all...my Dad is from Upstate NY but you remind me of his mom with that "Accent"...lol. My family planned on moving to which we think to ...Jacksonville on many account. Cooler than most of FL, Has waves for surfing if weather is right. Not alot of hurricanes hit that area, I can transfer my job there to name a few. But I rather live in Tampa....so hard to decide! Lived near L.A. in Hawthorne and Redondo beach growing up and moved to oregon when I was 26. Now I'm 57 and my mom and dad and stepfather all passed away and my 2 sisters are now living in VA. I am dying to get back into the waters since oregon pacific ocean is too dang cold! Looking forward to my move next July if all goes well.
Hi John, greetings from sunny South Florida! Can we call you "The Duke"? lol one of my all time favorite actors. Thanks so much for reaching out! Haha yeah my accent rubbed a lot of people the wrong way as you can imagine when I first got down here 37 years ago. Looks like we are the same age btw! Jacksonville can be a great spot to call home. It's got great sprawling beaches and coming from the Northwest as you do, the summers will be much more bearable than down these parts. Also, if a hurricane does happen to threaten, you can get out of Florida quickly and easily. It's also a good spot to head out to the mountains if that's something you like to do. Helen, GA, a great place to visit, is about 6 hour drive, not too terrible. You're also close to St. Augustine, Daytona and can easily visit Pensacola and the pan handle--even Alabama. I-10 will take you all across to New Orleans and beyond. Good choice my friend! Thanks for watching and please subscribe to the channel if you haven't already (YT doesn't always tell me lol). Reach out any time if I can help provide any info during your relo research. Thanks again Duke! 😎
@@BarefootVlogger thanks for the very nice comment. Jacksonville area is one of the reason why it's my top 2 pick...the other being Tampa. so that if a hurricane comes I can get out of there in no time. All to many times I seen on the news cars running out of gas on the fwy trying to flee the area and I felt JAX was a great escape into GA. Plus..I LOVE the Pacific Northwest mountains/camping and GA is nearby so it would be close...but one of my dreams is to go beach camping on a island off FL.. I've seen many of them on my Honeymoon back in 96 out of Miami..thinking how cool that would be. I have a friend who lives in St. Augustine and my Aunt who was burn in NY lives near Ft. Lauderdale tell me of their plight trying to evacuate. Here in Oregon we don't have that stress when it comes to weather. I guess I'll have to learn to get used to it. The MAIN big reason for moving is cost of living. Oregon is getting bad and if I move to FL I can buy a house and be mortage free saving $22,000 a year. Add move savings form income tax. In oregon when you retire they still tax you!!!!!! Maybe I can meet up with you someday..and I am a subscriber to you. Can't wait to watch all yer vid's.
@@johnwayne6501 That's fantastic John! Totally agree with everything you said. The one good thing about hurricanes is that you usually have plenty of time to prepare for them. So being in Jacksonville would be easy to evacuate up to Georgia in practically no time. I appreciate you subbing and watching the vlogs and hope to see you down here soon!
Yeah there are seasons in NC, but within that state the winters are very very mild in comparison to the Northeast. Also, the winters don't last that long.
So true VTG, and this is exactly what appeals to so many relocating to NC from parts north that are tired of harsh winters. 😎
Another great vid bro. Again making me want the beach so bad. (only another month or so and should be able to get to my parents place and enjoy it)
Come on down CBF! Lost of great transformations down here! 😎
Great video! Do you have an update since being down? Would like to see an update on how you guys are liking it!
Thanks Aaron. Florida has gotten more crowded and way more expensive...but so has pretty much everywhere else. For me, it's no contest. Florida. But, I have to be closer to the beach and prefer the warmer weather. NC has some great beaches too but again my preference is the sub tropics.
Great video
Jeff and Chrissy
You guys are the best! Thanks so much for watching and all your support. Hope to see you down here someday soon! 😎
Nice vid, deserves more views.
I thought it was just me lol. Thanks Justin, really appreciate that brother
Well done. You got the most points. Thanks
Thanks for watching! 😎
@@BarefootVlogger just wondering, is there any sort of taxes as a stock day trader ?
I freaking love this
Music to my ears! Thanks for watching😎
Florida pulls me in more 🌴 thanks for the info!
Both good choices but I agree with you Amanda. Life is short, live in the beauty and warmth of the Sunshine state and visit everywhere else!
last night was the ahhhhh pure good old classic Phillies bullpen loss.. you've experienced what we now go through on the daily....up here in philthy when we see Neris come in we just shut the TV off bc we already know IT'S OVERRR lol ........ your guys Diaz, now thats a closer!!! 98mph consistent... dayuumn! should be a good one tonight, enjoy the game!
Hey Billz! I was ready to turn it off when it was 4-1. As soon as wheeler was gone I knew we had a chance lol. We've had problems with Diaz and some other guys but looks like he's finally regaining his confidence. At least you guys are in the wild card hunt I think we're done as usual. Oh well they always make it entertaining! Thanks for watching brother! 😎
@@BarefootVlogger BOOOOOM!!! how was that for a game!?! haaaha...i knew it mite be good since it warmed up a touch from the past 2 nights but im glad you got to experience the daily Philadelphia Phillies teasing we go through lol...but wow what an awesome 1st, and up here we always think, wow, we mite actually have a chance today with these homers!! things are lookin up!!! .......thennnnnn reality kicks in around the 6th and here we go...its like they know by at this point of the game the Phillies fans are so damn drunk it wont matter we loose because they wont even remember what happened the next day lol....unbelievable... but i love action so il never complain about a game like that but once the 9th came around i thought to myself oh yeah, Terry's probably out of his seat celebrating rite now lOl....... meanwhile up here a chair gets thrown a window, 7 fist fights break out and a brand new car is set on fire lol (jk) ... but anyway... it was a decent lil series ... best luck to the rest of what we got.. were only 1 game ahead of you guys so it sure is a close one.... take care man, be safe!
@@billzadventures856 Brother I was watching that game, thinking of you I swear! I was texting my brother and the only thing we were watching was Nola's pitch count. I told him we gotta get him up over 100 to have a chance. And boom! LOL. Sorry, but anyway too little too late for us unless something nuts happens. With the Mets anythings possible! Haha thanks Billz!
After living in NY 35 years moved to sunny southern Florida 35 years ago. Half of live here and there. Never looked back. 😃 always a head
Way to go Keith! Onward and Upward! 😎
Hello, just an extra detail is York County in SC, Ft Mills, Rock Hill area... you can pay less taxes, have a bigger house and still enjoy the amenities Charlotte can offer.
Keep it up Greetings from Costa Rica🇨🇷
Good point Alejandro! Greetings my friend
Both have their own great reasons to move, but it would be a lot easier if could live in both places at once that way you could have the best of both worlds. Spend the summer in North Carolina and the winter in Florida
They're called "snow birds" and we have a lot of them down here. Smart way to enjoy best of both worlds! Thanks Deep! 😎
I live in both. I'm very fortunate. Both states have their pros and cons. As for groceries, Raleigh has a much better selection of stores than South Florida. It's grocery shopping heaven in Raleigh by comparison. I absolutely can't stand Winter, so Florida definitely wins that one. I choose North Carolina in the Fall and avoid the worst of Hurricane season in Florida. I don't mind the Summer in Florida for the most part because there are fewer tourists.
This video is 3 years old now, and South Florida's housing has gone insane, and insurance is completely out of control.
Loved this video! I’m from Michigan and the minute you showed snow outside a NC home I knew NC wasn’t for me. I’m the type who loves subtropical everything every day !! And here I’ve spent living 26 years in sorry, sad, wintry, grey skied Michigan. That said, I do feel sad about leaving my fireplace behind 😅 Now I gotta decide east vs west coast of Florida! Decisions decisions 😅
Visit both sides and you will know pretty quickly which side is your preference. Best of luck and see you in Florida!
Really helpful thank you👏👏👏
I'm so glad. Thanks LL
I lived in both places. The only advantage NC has is the geographical terrain and climate diversity like having Mt Mitchell the tallest summit east of the Mississppi, the tallest sand dune on the east coast at Jockey's Ridge State Park and the 4 seasons (seeing the leaves change in Fall while sipping on some good old fashion NC apple cider). While living in NC carolina I enojoyed staying at the beach house right on the beach at Emerald Isle Beach (much affordable than renting one in Florida) and a weekend get away over looking the Blue Ridge Mountains off the parkway absolutely breath taking. The Biltmore Estate (filmed in movies) owned the Vanderbilt family in Ashville is huge (gotta check out the winery). The place looks like one of the palaces in France or England fit for a royal family. My time was great there but I had no reason to stay long term since I have no immediate family staying there. If I had to choose something in the Carolinas long term by the beach along with walkable streets and history it would be hands down Charleston Est 1670 the South's version of a mini Boston. Now not everything in Florida is new either. St Augustine is the nation's oldest city Est 1565 by Spain waaay before the English settlements along that colony ranging from Boston to Charleston (minus NY originally settled by Dutch not English). My family heritage was one of the early settlers in the town of Philadelphia (before it actually became a city). Eventually migrated further south. Love history...sorry for the long spiel.
What about California?? It too also has mountains, beaches and some 4 seasons to an extent. Yes, but the Pacific Ocean water on a California beach is not only colder but not as clean along with some of the nastiest brown smog I've seen that sits in those valleys around the LA area and stuck on the nation's king of freeways wtih rush hour all day long.. no thanks. Love to visit again in the future but I couldn't live there.
However, since I grew up and lived in South Florida I'm going to be biased. The South Florida culture like food (gotta have my Cuban food and espresso fix) , music (the South Beach style dance club vibes, clothes etc.), and people is what I grew up with. As for sports, you're never going to get me to root for the Carolina Panthers over the Dolphins, Bucs or Jaguars. Baseball? I'll root for the Marlins but ultimately the Chicago Cubs and Wrigelyfield (Wrigleyville) for life. The Bulls because of MJ. Back in the day I use to hit the clubs before South Beach was a bigger name tredning around the world post Miami Vice and Scarface. I'm also a big fan of art deco and the colorful neon lights which makes it unique. South Beach for me is like America's version of Ibiza in Europe where a ton of tourists from abroad come to party on the beach. Yep, it's what you grew up with. As a former of resident of NC, I do miss those mountains though and the best scenic drive during the fall along the Blude Ridge Parkway. I do want to plan on another trip to the Biltmore Estate for another bottle at vinyard winery and hang out with the posh elites. (J/K). My favorite home in NC. The castle or palace. Absolutely beautiful.
Very well written and said Itravel thanks for that perspective. I think you nailed it. Be hones though I really don't miss NC or the mountains. They're great, absolutely beautiful but I'd much rather be on the beach and personally never tire of it. One day I might head up to the mountains maybe around the holidays to see some snow and build a fire. I always appreciate that.
@@BarefootVlogger Thanks, Yeah, like you if I had to choose between the two I'm more of a beach person myself as I have grown up near one , lived and worked on one for many years. I once (many moons ago) lived in Boca and other places around SFLA. The videos you posted of these places really take me down memory lane of my younger years. Look forward to seeing more of your videos. I am long over due for a return to SFLA. That's what happens when you get into a relatioship who lives in another state which changes your geography literally over night. It's not been the same since.
So glad I can bring you down memory lane! Stay tuned for more familiar places and thanks!
But I love mountains and hills
Thank you
wow that sums up.
Great video btw😊🙃
I really appreciate the kind words! Thanks so much Jill! 😎
There are palms thru out of Jacksonville NC, some palms in Charlotte and other parts of NC I’ve seen palms thru out Virginia and the climate in NC is definitely warmer than VA so I don’t understand why you guys keep saying NC has no palms
No coconut palms is what I meant. The palms you see up north are more of the cold hardy palms like the sabal and fan palms. I lived in Charlotte 14 years, for the most part there's no palms there trust me on that. Any palms you may see in Charlotte were likely brought in.
Growing up in Florida the heat index of the summer is hot. Big bugs and spiders are yea what ever. I might move to Asheville area to get off the Sand bar and climb a mountain or at least a hill. At least in that area colorful people.
Good insight Jonathan. That's a good plan. Asheville is lovely and lots to see and do up there. Good luck brother and thanks for watching! 😎
I love Asheville but It's going down hill, On one hand it's getting more yuppie and expensive but also the drug addiction is really bad here and you can see a big increase in homeless. It feels like the working and middle class are getting pushed out.
I guess we can't seat under a , mango, coconut, avocado trees in our back yard in Charlotte...
Haha true Bertrand! But Charlotte's got a lot! Lived there 15 years and no regrets. Plus, you can always drive over to Myrtle Beach or up to the mountains (can't do that here). Thanks for watching and give my regards to the Queen City! 😎
Love this
Thanks so much Becky, I really appreciate it! 😎
Appreciate the video!! Sounds like we'll be seeing ya down in Florida!!
Good choice Matthew! We'll be waiting! Thanks for watching😎
Which beach was this filmed in? Looks nice and not too crowded.
Spanish River, Boca Raton
Clermont outside Orlando has hills as well as near the panhandle
Yes it's not as flat as down here but from the tip of the keys up past the treasure coast, we got nothing lol. Thanks Art! 😎
By the way, Florida has "Hollywood" (as you'll soon see in an upcoming vlog) but also has it's own town of "Beverly Hills".
Florida for sure. Miami is my favorite city in the US. North Carolina is very beautiful too.
Living in south Florida since 2000 and am looking to relocate to nc prefer mountains then beaches and it’s to hot in Florida and the humidity is horrible
I hear ya. Been there done that. Missed the beaches after 14 years. Also fyi, Charlotte got very hot and broke 100 at times. Never saw that here. Best of luck in your adventure!
Yeah thank you for the video it was really lovely but I wouldn't want to live at neither one first of all too many damn people in both places too many peoples are moving there and I did wanted to move to Florida and North Carolina but after seeing everybody going down there no thank you
I have never been to the Carolina's, always wanted to go to Myrtle Beach, But if there's snow, no thanks, I would rather live Here in Florida
Haha yes! And I can always put on my DVD of the "Yule log" on TV when I'm jonesing for a fireplace lol! Thanks for watching Denice! 😎
I’ve lived in Charlotte for 6 years. I’ve seen a 1/2 inch twice in that time. Melted within a day. Still the entire city shuts down for days. One time the schools were closed all week. Typical winter day here is probably in the 50s. And winter ends by February here.
I like your videos and I follow you my brother ✨🔥
Thanks Only! Your channel is cool too. Got a new fan here! 😎
The Barefoot Vlogger ahahah thank you so much my friend 😇✨💯
To be honest Terry you look rejuvenated brother MINT
Beaches and Palm Trees will do that for you brother! LOL Thanks Craig!!😎MINT!
As a man who was born and raised in Southern California and has lived in Colorado for the past 10 years, I can honestly say having seasons is OVERRATED! I’m like you, once I leave here, I will never live anywhere else that cannot accommodate palm trees.
You know your stuff Don! I can watch seasons on TV lol. Thanks for watching brother! 😎
I remember this rooftop view
So according to wifey, diff were fruit variety and pricing a little higher
I live in Florida, never go to the beaches though I do love it but Im considering moving to NC. The cost here has put me in debt. Some of the locals are just horrible. Weather is great here and I don't want to go back to living in the cold. I'm torn
Some good points Alex not an easy decision. Just since I've gotten back to Florida in the last 3 years prices on just about everything have been on a tear. It may abate soon hopefully. I wish you best of luck in whatever you decide. Be happy!
@@BarefootVlogger honestly I thought moving here would make me happy since I was born here and have family here. In the last three years of being here I've went further in debt, family has moved away and continue to leave. I feel like I should follow them. Family is all I have in this life
@@alexvelez2141 No arguments here Alex. Family is so important. In fact, family is the biggest reason I came back to Florida. Follow your heart brother
I have a sister in Raleigh
Terry you had me at would you rather haha plus I'm the ultimate shorts and tank top guy Terry and if you went back to live in North Carolina you'd be just known as the vlogger which just doesn't have the same ring about it it's almost as bad as something like keto beach lol just kidding Terry you have a great Sunday brother MINT
Haha the vlogger! It's like the NFL Redskins new name they chose: The Washington Football Team. Whose the marketing genius that came up with that one! They would've been better off going with the Keto Beach Football Team. LOL MINT!
Winters in California are comparable.
That's the weather I love. Thanks Sam! 😎
Only in southern California not up north from San Francisco. San Francisco is about where North Carolina is geographically on the opposite side of America.
Please do one comparing NY to FLA ! I would think there will be more Pros for living in FLA than the NorthEast! For me some of, the pro will be no more Cold snowy weather lets be real where are you going or doing with 2 kids under the age of 8 when its 4pm dark out, and 20 degrees outside! No more being taxed for everything! For the people saying it gets real hot in the Summer I say bring it on I rather have that than the Cold and for the people saying FLA has Gators, Snakes, and bugs plus hurricanes well here in the NorthEast NY, NJ, and CT you have Black bears, Bobcats, Fisher Cats, Coyotes, Graden snakes, Rats, Raccoons, skunk, Ticks, Possum, Mosiqutios, for whether we get it all! Hurricanes, Little tornados, Earthquakes, Blizzards, Ice Storms, and even Heat waves which I love lol
That will be the shortest vlog on record! LOL Just kidding! Good idea brother. Wow that's some list you've compiled there haha!! I think you need a vlog when you get down here! Did you say....Earthquakes? LOL I'll take the hurricanes 😎 Thanks for watching brother!
@@BarefootVlogger Do you ever sleep lol just the other day little earthquake in NJ felt in Staten Island too
Oh man I'd be scared the ground would open up and swallow me whole! Like it's been doing to our ballteam lol. Sleep? My nickname is Dracula! 😎
I dont know why you have focused in charlotte to compare the two states. There's others cities and places in NC.
True, but that's where I lived. It's also the largest city in the state so makes total sense to me.
North. C
i use to live in NC and now im in FL lol
What a coincidence, thanks Paktra! 😎
There is a huge lake in Charlotte. Also, that tunnel in the first 30 seconds smells like urine. 100%
@Sarah G Absolutely can swim in it. No gators that far north
Oh yeah, i forgot that. No state income tax!!
I feel there
Is no better place to live now
Everywhere people are running and making that place costly :(
Definitely more folks coming down but I still think it's worth it. Thanks for watching!😎
How long did you live in NC? Had you been to Wilmington by chance? My daughter lives there and loves it. I lived in Jacksonville FL on a job transfer, I didn't give it a true chance. I work in banking in a bankruptcy department ( you can only imagine how busy I potentially will be soon)
Hi Jill! Yes, I've been to Wilmington, great little seaside town, in fact my son goes to college there! Banking is huge in Charlotte as I'm sure you know. I had neighbors on both sides of me and across the street that all worked for a bank lol. Thanks for watching! 😎
Oh btw, I lived in NC for 15 years total. Moved to FL from Brooklyn, NY when I was about 20. Then when all those hurricanes hit in 2005 moved to Charlotte. But after a while I just pined for the ocean and walks on the beach. Having family down here also made the decision that much easier.
Thank you for your input😊
Awesome, and your son must love it in Wilmington, very nice college 👌
You can drive 3 hours of Myrtle Beach what are you talking about. You know we get hurricanes around here right. The insurance is outrageous. You can't go to the water in Charlotte you really can and call Lake Norman. Most of y'all are coming back to Charlotte North Carolina and call y'all halfback North Carolina win by far because is Affordable. I can go to the lake in North Carolina don't have to worry about alligators

Only an ex-New Yorker can find the right words to describe life in Florida or North Carolina."
Plenty of us to be found in both places John lol. Thanks for watching
@@BarefootVlogger I was born in Manhattan, raised in Queens, and lived mostly on Long Island. My wife was born in Brooklyn. When I was young, I only knew people who came from the boroughs, and we all had the same attitude and manner of speech. I knew there were people west of the Hudson, and South of Staten Island, but I heard they talked funny.
We have that in common. I was born in Manhattan too at the Doctor's Hospital, but raised in Brooklyn in Brighton Beach. I love Florida, but very glad I grew up when I did, where I did.
@@BarefootVlogger Parting Words: My wife and I just watched the whole video. Great points. Best regards.
Thanks for taking the time to watch John. All the best to you and your wife!
