"Canada...cheaper ?
I thought it was relatively expensive these days?
Will have to look in to that. "
To be fair I lived there when I was 11-13 but I suspect it will still be cheaper than most US States |

Away with the faeries |
The Pacific Northwest is scenic, temperate (mostly) and culturally and politically diverse.
At least it used to be.
Have you visited any of the states to get a sense of what you might prefer?
One of the benefits of living out there is often being a short road trip away from a completely different environment.
The downside could be lack of access to affordable healthcare, but if you work for a decent company then that may help immensely. |

I'm considering Texas since the silicone valley is moving there and the opportunities it can present. Healthcare can be an issue but right now I'm thinking about immigration. |

My friend moved to Boston in 2009
Since then he has tried stints in Washington DC, Houston, Hawaii, San Francisco and Seattle, but has now settled down in small town West Virginia
He's now married, is a US Citizen and living his best life
I think a masters from Harvard and having Microsoft on his CV has helped him greatly though  |

The South represents slav** and bigotry.
Is this what you call relaxed and chilled?
Recently a black jogger was killed for jogging on a street in Georgia which is a southern state.
Saying to a dark skin person " go to deep south, they will love you there"
I felt the bigotry in your comment |

I think your choice depend a lot on your-
Politics
Religiousness
Wealth
Views on gun laws
Views on Right to choose/life
Ability to tolerate either very hot or very cold weather
Views on death penalties
How about Hawaii? |

Was going to suggest Texas. Looks like big things are happening in that state and looks to be some interesting opportunities.
Would love to do the same mate.
I have a friend who lives in Mexico he basically runs the local forums and the odd event and loves very well.

Not based on any first experience, just here say, but San Francisco. Always heard it was a fairly liberal, temperate place...
But anyone, please freely correct me on that assumption |

They also have a better standard of living, more space and proper health care. |

"I'm done here, I'm moving to the US, any suggestions which state should I go to? "
Have you been on holiday to any? I'd avoid all the Trump states. And the tornado ones. |

It is but it's also the up and coming place to be. Cheaper electricity and real state is affordable. I can move there and move for whoever is in favour of the abortion law.
Bring the change from within |

I don't think its that easy to move abroad anymore.
A lot of idiots voted for this thing called Brexit which was apparently meant to be the next best thing since sliced bread  .
We have less rights and benefits now than ever before |

I havent followed any of the changes made as a result of brexit, but as an educated guess, brexit shouldnt make a difference. Its moving from the UK to the US, not into Europe |

Texas is great. Spent a fair amount of time in Houston. Generally a friendly place and loads of opportunity. Only problem was the humidity. Struggle with high temps at the best of times - but Texas was something else. It is a large state and vary varies so not all like that, but something to consider. Lots of the US is sadly going to face more and more extreme weather so that’d be a bug factor for me choosing a destination.
Good luck! |

"Dont do Texas is all I can say....10 days and never met another sane
person lol"
Funnily enough I’ve heard a comparison made between Yorkshire and Leeds on more than one occasion. Not a direct comparison a poles apart in terms of geography, economy and weather etc. however there is a slightly ‘separatist’ buggest county/state ‘we’re a but different’ vibe that are similar between Yorkshire and the Lone Star State. Another similarity is that the people speak their mind, get to the point and don’t mince their words. Generally friendly and down to earth though. On both counts . |
