My plans are to move to the LA area in under two years.

Socal might be jarring if you are used to Wisconsin. Norcal is still hella clement

How you mean?

SoCal can get pretty warm

Some thoughts,

I moved from NJ to Orange County CA about 8 years ago, with nothing but a backpack full of clothes and a Job Offer. It was definitely no cake walk, but I do enjoy my decision to move here as working full time at a bike shop is difficult when there is only business for 7-9 months of the year. Additionally there are many BMX and MTB brands located here so I was able to get my foot in the door in an engineering position and get out of the bike shop.

Overall if you can get a job transfer, are good by yourself for some periods of time and are willing to work hard, you will be happy with your decision. However, I do miss the seasons as we only have temperatures between 65-95 here, so its really just a long spring/summer combo. There are no trees with leaves that change colors, no rain, sandy trails but TONS of nice concrete outdoor skateparks.

Now that I have been here for almost 10 years I want to move to colorado next. Life is an adventure, why live just one place?

True that.

I fucking hate people tat say that miss the seasons though. Fuck -30 degree weather and fuck snow in general.

Being by myself isn't an issue, I've been doing it for 8 years now. lol.

Closing in on a location though. Culver City is looking real prime.

[Trail-Boss]

Culver city is alright but next to some major shitholeage.

Will you be working over there?

[Alex.]

Yep. I can basically transfer to any city I want. Just need to pick an area.

[blueee]

culver city was cool and is now hipster, maybe it is still cool if you are cool? you

Dammit, I don't want to move to a hipster city. That just means it'll be a shit hole AND expensive. Point towards areas that are cheaper, not completely ghetto and within an hour to the coast. I don't care if the population is like 5k.

everywhere will be expensive as fuck in LA, you might as well be next to the beach and nightlife
