Blog on my Future.

There are a lot of places I would like to move when i get older. To find which places are my top two I have to look at what pull forces are most important to me and what push forces would be the most problematic to moving to that area.
    Some pull forces that would make me want to move somewhere have to do with my job, family, and things to do. A good pull force would be living near my family. I would want to visit my family and the closer I lived to them the easier that would be. Also a good job that i actually like to do would be important. Basically that place would have to have a good job for me. Finally things to do to stay healthy are important. I wouldn’t like to live in a city because staying healthy would be hard since it’d be harder to run and bike.
     Now the push forces would pretty much be the opposites of the pull forces. I wouldn’t want to live to far away from my family in Maryland that it’s too much of a problem to see them. I wouldn’t want to live in a place where my job wouldn’t be good. Finally a place where it’s hard to exercise would not be a place where I want to live.
   One place I would like to live at is near Denver, Colorado. I would like to live here because I love Colorado and the mountains. This area would be my dream place to live at. I would love going to the mountains to bike, and ski all year. I would also like to own my own shop that could feed off the major tourism this area gets. It would probably be something to do with outdoors things like biking. One big problem is distance between me and my family. Visiting my family would be very hard due to how far away they are and not being at my own business. Overall the positives of things I like and the tourism for business balances out the negatives so I would like to move here.
    Another place I would like to move is to a seaside town. I would like to do this because of a few reasons. I like the seaside and things like fishing and boating. I also like the beach. I would like to be a fisherman if I moved to one of these towns. Some pull factors of moving to a seaside factors are the jobs available. During the summer these seaside towns attract a lot of tourism which could rake in a lot of money for any tourism business. Also fishing is a big industry if you move to a town known for certain fish. Also seaside towns are just relaxing places to live and it would be enjoyable. Some push factors are the dangers of hurricanes or flooding. These could cause a lot of damage to you or even be fatal to you. Another push factor is the total offseason for the tourism and fishing. During the winter there is barely any tourism in the seaside towns so the economy drops. The good and bad are about equal here so its average.
     Overall I’d rather move to the mountains for better economy and lifestyle. A seaside town would be nice but it’s not my number one.
