      I love Texas! It has the biggest Sky I have ever seen other than Wyoming! It's diverse and has great food! Miami is dangerous, I have family there they are trying to get away from there. Either way, Texas has a lot of earthquake faults and snow in the winter, too, but I still love it!! ❤

      We don't hardly ever have an earthquake, very rare to have any tornadoes or hurricanes hit the actual Dallas city area/county. Only real weather hardship is the heat, ice, and severe thunderstorms, and all are pretty avoidable.

    If you move here, get used to the heat and use your sunscreen. My first summer here, I felt like you. It wasn’t for me. However, I’m on a faith journey. Meaning, God led me here. So, I’m adjusting. This year is better because I know what to expect.

    I just moved to Dallas a year and a half ago, and here are some pros and cons.
    Pros:
    1. Dallas is a huge city with a huge surrounding metropkex, so there's no shortage of things to do and places to explore.
    2.Convwnience: Any and everything you need can be easily found.
    3. Cost of living: You definitely get a bang for your buck when it comes to finding an apartment. Luxury living, at affordable prices. Gas prices are also pretty good.
    4. Jobs and Networking Opportunities: There are no shortage of jobs, and networking is easy since there are always networking events happening in the city.
    Cons
    1. The weather: Be prepared to see temperatures as high as 115 degrees with full humidity in the summertime.
    2. Food: The food is good, but it lacks a bit of variety. You can find a lot of bar-b-que, texmex, and Asian food, but if you're looking for carribean food, African food, Greek food, or any other culture of food, it may be a little difficult to find.
    3. Dating: This depends on you, but the dating pool here is not the best. Be prepared to run into people with weird kinks and fetishes, and those just looking to waste your time. Use discernment at all times lol.
    I hope this helps with making your decision about where to move.

    As someone that’s lived in Florida all my life, you truly get used to hurricane season. I’d recommend a house in Miami.
    If the high rise/penthouse life is what you want in Miami, maybe come up with a contingency plan to give you peace of mind in the event you have to evacuate. That way you’re not as stressed. Make sure you insure your property and keep copies of receipts in a safe place.

    I’m from the Midwest too and had the same concerns about FL. My first hurricane experience was Matthew and it was pretty bad. The next was Irma and we evacuated to TN. After that we have stayed through every other hurricane. It’s been 10 years and I’m still in FL.

    You just have to decde what's best for you.
    Texas is hot, but our winters are mild.

I have children your age and we are close to each other in Richardson except for my son who just purchased a house in Glenn Heights. Places to visit mall wise would be Northpark Mall, Galleria, Allen Outlet and many others. Hope you decide to move to Texas and I’m sure myself and your followers will guide you to places to visit here. I have fun, be safe and take care 🥰♥️

After that I factored in what type of environment I wanted to be in like did I want to be directly in the city or of if I wanted to be on the outskirts like Plano or Richardson etc. I also used SmartCityApts to help with my search and that definitely helped. It does seem like a lot at first but once you figure out more about certain areas it will make it easier going forward. I hope that helps

    I know you want to move to a warm climate, and Dallas is nice, but too dang hot, I'm witcha on that! I posted about my experience there on your ABnB cleaning short! Maybe San Antonio and Austin's temperatures are more moderate, anyone? Houston is also ugh, extremely hot and humid as I recall. But what does everyone think?
    Also, if you want to move to Florida, there are more moderately priced cities (than Miami) that also don't have the same potential for extreme weather, like Orlando, Jacksonville and Tampa.
    Also, what about Vegas?
    Plus Arizona, there's Phoenix and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
    All these areas and their surrounding suburbs are good areas, depending on what you're looking for.
    Some of where you'll be happiest moving to has to do with your intended lifestyle - for example, are you bringing "sand to the beach" or planning to look? Some cities are a little better for singles.
    Or are you hoping to have kids in the future? Some cities are more family/kid friendly than others.
    God be with you in whatever you decide, and please do bring us along! ❤❤❤✨🙏🏽 PS, San Diego is great or at least it was when I spent time there in the 90s. North Carolina is also worth checking out, particularly Charlotte and Raleigh/Durham.

    Hurricane season is June to November every year but that doesn’t mean that we get hurricanes every year and they don’t always hit the same areas. I was wondering about your business with your buses. Even if you sell them in Michigan you may want to reconsider picking it up in Miami. If not games then maybe parties. Food for thought. I can’t comment on your other options but Miami is flexible. Plus don’t forget 30 minutes north is Fort Lauderdale and 30 minutes north some more you’re in palm beach. I think you would have to be in a location for at least a few months to get a true experience of the local life. Wherever you choose I pray you’ll be safe and successful. Forwards ever!
