I currently live in Austin Texas but am reconsidering whether I should stay or leave. I’m 35 years old female, single and enjoy Austin because of the walking trails, laid back demeanor and fitness oriented community. However the food scene is expensive/lacking in comparison to Houston and I feel like I’m too old for this city and I don’t want to partake in the drinking culture. Where would you relocate to if you were me?

I’d go for a tech capital with a surplus of men like SF or SJ, good luck.

San Diego or Denver

Yeah Denver is a hiker’s dream. So much fresh air and nature, good power grid so no outages during summer or winter, and very temperate climate. I’d love to live there, you’re so lucky!

Have you explored outside of the city limits? I live is Dripping and there’s so much more outside of the city to do and see.
I lived in and around Denver and loved it. You are constantly going all over Colorado for activities, events, concerts, foods, and arts.

Same boat sis, but everywhere else is more expensive. Considering Miami as a close COL comp but still a big city. If I could afford it, would move to California. SF or SD is a great option at our age if you can afford it.

Yesssss id move to CA if I could but id need a new job unfortunately

Dallas, Chicago. I love DC, but I hear the dating scene is hard for women.

Love Chicago

OP I am a 34 year old single woman and I absolutely love it here. However, my brothers are here and I love being close to them so that is part of my reason for staying. I would say if you are no longer happy here then move and give it a try.

Md1 what makes you enjoy it so much?

Do you have good friends here? Friends that enjoy the same hobbies as you? That's what makes a city great.
