Ever moved across your country, by yourself, not knowing anyone where you're going?

Never. I wish... I sort of want to run away...

Yup, only Minnesota to Iowa for college though. And once I'm out of college I plan on doing it again. Being able to adjust to new environments with only yourself to rely on is a good experience, I think.

Going to Boston at the end of this week and I don't know anyone there right now, but my twin is going to be there too. 22 years old. I've already been there and got an apartment...just going to drive back up there soon.

Moved from Tacoma Wa to Abq NM.

It was either that or lose my job.

27, packed up my stuff in my WRX and drove down. Took two days, made it to right outside of Salt Lake the first day and slept in the car at a rest area for a few hours. Then drove the rest of the way to Abq. I had been looking at apartments on the web and my old manager was from the area so he told me about the best places to live. So the next day I drove up to the apartment complex and rented a one bedroom.

My descision on where to move was relatively easy for me... I realized there was something I just couldn't have unless I moved. *drool*
