Move to Europe. Now is the time, no responsibilities, no lifestyle to which you have become accustomed. If I had it to do over again, I would have done that in a second.
I sort of did it twice, once from NY to LA to go to law school and then left LA for Bay Area b/c I was burned out on LA. But that was far to late to drop everything and move to Europe just for the sake of it.

Let me warn you about one thing in Europe. If you're on this forum then you probably like sports. Your typical sporting event during the week in the states will begin at 12-1 in the morning and 6-7 at night on the weekends in Europe.
It really sucks staying up during the week to watch sports.
Yep, I've done it, without going there before, ready to do it it again !
I grew tired of CT while in High School, saved up for the move ( made great money while 14-18, like as much as a HS teacher). This was circa 1982 ( graduation year).
No internet, back then, so research was much harder. I thought Calif. was the place to be, originally targeted SF, but changed it to SD, further decided on Oceanside,Ca, as a goal.... wound up very close in Vista,Ca., and surrounding areas for 5 or so years, developed a pattern of often going to Vegas on weekends, so got to know Vegas a bit.
I had to leave Ca. ( fled some minor misdemeanor charges, gone now), went to Colorado for a few years, not knowing too much of it, but had been there before, have a brother there, stayed a few years.... then Vegas for a long stretch, left on my own terms, to care for an aging mother, back home !
Stuck back in Ct., for 13+ years now ( Mom died years ago). I'm ready to go somewhere else. No reason to stay here much longer !

If I have to tell you what apartamento or casa means im coming to Idaho to kick your ass.
You will probably be more interested in Ezcazu, Rhormoser, Santa Ana or Sabana. Since you are a young guy I would recommend San Pedro just because there are a few universities there and mucho poontang just waiting to be scooped up.
So Cal is nice and all but I can't afford a place where it costs so much to live. Idaho is cheap, as is Costa Rica apparently. A place like New York City or So Cal wouldn't work.
PS, putting the degree on hold. I wanted something to do as a fallback plan but I'm pretty sure writing is all I want to do the rest of my life and I wouldn't be happy working a computer job so I might just call it good with a year left. Not sure just yet though. I'd rather be happy and make 35K a year than be miserable and make 70K a year. Writing is all that interests me and I make the same amount of money doing it without my degree as the average college graduate in this state would make so motivation is an issue right now.
