It's not the place, it's the person.

Some people can up and move and do as well or better than before they moved. Some people can't seem to make it no matter where they are.

When I took off, I got a small travel trailer. You can park in a lot of places for free, like Wal-Mart or Kmart parking lots.

I see you do photography. If you have your own equipment you could use that to make traveling money.

The best time to head out is in the spring time. Gives you time to acclimatize on the way.

For artists, I found Santa Fe or Taos offers a lot. I spent some weeks in Santa Fe doing Jack's Flea Market. Parked, in town for free and no hassles.

Arizona is great also. Just be careful. It gets danged hot there.

Turn fear into anticipation. If and when you decide to get on the road, keep in touch. I have a place in Fort Stockton, Tx. It's right on I-10 and if you wanted to take a break, I have an acre and a half you could park on for a few days. I also have a place in Del Rio, Tx if you wanted to go check out Mexico.

My big brother lives in Arizona, more jobs there than here. I was going to move myself but my ex made that impossible, oh well maybe when my daughter is older..He lives in Mesa beautiful down there I go once a year

Yep!!! i found a job in Ohio and packed up everything and uprooted my child and moved into the great unknown!!!- we've been here a year- the schools are great!! sure i miss my friends but i like it here!!

DO IT!!! if you really need a change its the best thing to do!!

My mom did it (don't know how she is doing) but she left the country a few years ago.

Save... plan... visit places... secure a job (if needed)... and just go! I'll miss you! You will have to stop down in Ann Arbor and see me before you jump ship!

I don't get too concerned until I see the bit and bridle come out!
