Change of Atmosphere

One of the best reasons to move across the country is to get a change of atmosphere. Through traveling and living somewhere up north for a short time, I found out that a new atmosphere can bring such a joy we could have never imagined. A new atmosphere inspires new ideas, gives you new things to explore, and best of all, gives you new surroundings to enjoy.

2

Meeting New People

The people in your life right now are probably pretty awesome for the most part, and moving isn’t about leaving them so much as it is giving yourself the opportunity to meet even more amazing people. No one said you could never move back if it doesn’t work out. Give yourself a new chance to meet new people with new ideas in a fresh new place! You might just find that best friend you’ve been looking for, or your future husband!

3

New Memories

If you have bad memories of where you currently live, moving can help you create new ones. Sure, you could move to a few states away to do this, and moving across the country might not be necessary. That being said, moving to any state can give you new memories to experience to help make up for bad ones you might have in your current town, and give you new things to appreciate.

4

Job Opportunities

You could move anywhere to get a new job opportunity actually, but most of the time, moving across country makes you braver, more open to ideas, and ready to start a wit a clean slate. This can give you job opportunities you never thought possible, because you’re actually open to anything that comes your way.

UPD:

Venturing into a new city can often mean access to thriving job markets with a variety of new industries and companies that were previously out of reach. It's like discovering a treasure trove of possibilities that align more closely with your skills and ambitions. Moreover, employers may view your move as a sign of flexibility and a go-getter attitude, making you a notably attractive candidate. Embrace the chance to redefine your professional identity and seize the unique opportunities that arise from being in the right place at the right time. All it takes is the courage to step out of your comfort zone.

5

Increased Bravery

I don’t think anyone should move across country just to become brave, but doing so can sure make you that way! It takes a lot of guts to move somewhere far away from where you live. It will probably bring a little tinge of sadness to your life for a short time, just because you might be scared, but tough it out! Doing so will probably make you braver than you ever imagined, and give you new ideas for a new life ahead.

Better Pay

Depending on where you move to, you might be able to make more money. For instance, I live in a very poor state, and employment is scarce here. Anyone could move out of the state I live in right now across the country, and be able to make more money. Now, while that doesn’t apply to everyone, it applies to many people. Moving up north, or to the East coast can all provide better pay for many people, and even a few southern states pay pretty well too these days.

7

Fresh Start

Lastly, give yourself the chance to start fresh by moving across country. New places to explore, people to meet, things to do, and more, are all things to start over fresh in a new state of your choice. A fresh start can sometimes help us get out of a life rut, start a journey to a dream we’ve always wanted, and help us become a person we never thought possible.

If you’ve ever moved across country, or anywhere, I bet you’ve experienced one or more of these benefits. So, you tell me, what is your personal favorite reason for moving across country, or anywhere else?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

A year ago, I joined the Navy. So, after living in AL for 30 years, I'm now living in Guam. Never heard of it? Neither had I. It's a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean near the Phillipines. Everything you said in your article, I can confirm. I moved across the globe and am so grateful for this opportunity. I'll be here for 3 years, then it will be another move to who know where. Pretty awesome.

I have moved across country and back already. It was great but not sure if I would do it again.

I am 18 and I plan on moving to virginia after I get my bachelors next year! I really want to attend The College of William and Mary. I've always been independent but I am very nervous about this move- did I mention that I currently reside in Mississippi? Lol it will be quite the change. You aren't living until you push the limits of your comfort zone!

So true. One of your points is something that I've experienced by moving out from my country. I'm more brave now in experiencing new things in life. I used to be very timid and reserved towards people but not anymore. I'm very much living and alive I can say.. Thanks for sharing
