I would venture to suggest your experience of Spain as your place to be reminds me of how I feel when looking to move into a new home. For me, I just KNOW when a place is right and becomes 'the one'. There is just something about the light, the organization of the rooms, it's location relative to other parts of life. I can imagine myself living there being happy. . . . sounds like this is what happened for you in Spain. So cool. And I am truly looking forward to the play by play of you two settling in and creating your life there. . .. January is coming up FAST.
It is! I'm looking forward to connecting the vision and anticipation to the reality. For me, that's a big part of the fun part.
Good analogy. I think a lot about how I live in the day to day. We often overlook daily life, especially as it relates to urban planning, as mundane. But it really should be the number one consideration. Very similar with looking for a space to live in.
I can't wait to take that 'walk alone' in my someday-in-the-near-future city, just like you did. There’s no better feeling than that moment when you know you’re in the right place—your happy place. Over the years, I've felt that only a handful of times, but the memory of it stays with me, bringing comfort as I navigate places that just don’t resonate with me.
I’m really excited to read your daily updates once you’ve moved and begun settling in. For now, I’ll live vicariously through you and Melise (sorry if I misspelled that!). With the new year approaching, I feel a sense of change in the air for Carl and me.
This is part of why I love cities. Yes, the diversity and such is great, but what each of us make of it is even more interesting.
I want to spend extended time in some places and feel better suited to live in others.
It's really not odd that Spain stands out. As we see more places (countries) I think it will stay this way and the number of places where we'd actually live small.
In the US I think are only three cities I can see myself living in.
