I am thinking you are near DC now?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398775 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 16:48:39 +0000 raspberries 1398775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From western Pennsylvania, but moved to Massachusetts for work - we're definitely East Coasters through and through! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398715 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 16:24:19 +0000 Periwinkle 1398715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Sounds just like me! I'm an East Coaster (grew up and went to college here) and then lived for 3 years time in the South (GA) and then made my way to the Bay Area for a few years too.</p> <p>I'm back again on the East Coast. I truly feel like I left my heart in San Francsico some days :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398654 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 16:03:10 +0000 skipra 1398654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Born and raised in MA. Went to college out of the country and loved it. After college moved to CA for a little over a year. Both San Diego and San Francisco but I just missed being home too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398641 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:59:29 +0000 BSB 1398641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lived in PA until from birth to 25. Then I took a job in Seattle. Been in Seattle for over 5 years now. My DH and I are definitely east coasters. He was also born and raised in PA and we definitely see a difference. We will definitely end up back on the east coast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398634 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:56:51 +0000 sheskrafty 1398634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up in various places in the Midwest, moved to San Diego after college and now live on the East Coast. I love the East Coast but feel more at home in California. If I could only afford to live there (and convince DH to move) again!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398624 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:53:35 +0000 Andrea 1398624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have. I've always liked the East Coast better, but I am getting tired of the cold in the north east. Must be getting old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398613 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:50:10 +0000 septca 1398613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: WHAT?!?!?!? We are from the same place *and* live in the same place??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398593 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:43:27 +0000 78h2o 1398593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up in the Santa Cruz mountains in CA, so sort of Bay Area. I currently live in Maryland. I still feel like a CA girl at heart, but MD is a pretty good fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398578 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:38:32 +0000 Greentea 1398578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have lived all over and I would love to head to the Bay area! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398566 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:32:24 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 1398566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never left the West. So, I can't imagine I'd be comfortable living on the East Coast. For one, the weather. I don't do snow. lol And for two, I'm used to things being spread out and having a car. I don't think I'd do public transportation really well. I tend to get claustrophobic when I'm surrounded by a lot of people. I know the whole coast isn't that way, but I like the desert :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398558 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:29:44 +0000 lovehoneybee 1398558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lived close to the Gulf coast (by way of New Orleans) and am now in the mid-Atlantic (Central PA). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398527 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:16:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 1398527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - I've lived in all 4 "corners" (WA, CA, ME and FL). My personality is more east coast. FL was just crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398491 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:04:59 +0000 snowjewelz 1398491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>East coaster here... When I was in the mid twenties, my best friend said if I wasn't going to find a husband there I had better move to the west coast. Well, I found DH so I stayed! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398472 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:58:03 +0000 septca 1398472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up in the Bay Area, but much as I love CA, I always felt like an East Coast person. Moved east 10 years ago and never looked back. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398453 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:53:04 +0000 nana87 1398453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not coasts, but I grew up in the Midwest (unless you consider the Great Lakes a coast! :silly: ) and have lived on the East Coast since college. I think I'd prefer to live in the Midwest in the long-term, but I'm here for professional reasons and won't have too much choice in where we end up eventually anyway because of the job market in my field </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398446 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:49:41 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1398446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lived in 8 places in 12 years. At one point, we moved from Maryland to California. BIG change! (and then we moved from California to Florida) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-switched-coasts#post-1398432 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:45:37 +0000 mrbee 1398432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up on the East Coast, and went to college there too... but after college, I lived for a year or two in the Bay Area. In the end, I found out that I'm more of an East Coaster... didn't realize how much so until I found myself missing it!</p> <p>Have you ever switched coasts? Does your current home match your personality? </p>
