Where do FT land when coming off the road?
How many go back to the area where they lived before being FT? If settling somewhere else, where & why? Thanks!
Forum Discussion
Lots of discussion about this over on the Escapees forums. We aren't ready to come off the road, yet, but it won't be the same place from which we launched. Other than healthcare providers we love, there is very little to pull us back there. We are using our time on the road to explore places to settle down when the time comes. We look at a number of criteria, including - but not limited to:
Our plan, at this point, is to find or build a very small home - around 600 sq. ft. on one level and preferably log cabin style. If we're still able to travel, a pad/port for the RV would be added. Both of us have lived and worked around the world and have seen the majority of the U.S. At this time, we haven't narrowed it down too much, but we really like the upstate Carolinas, and north Georgia. We also like New England, but the winters and cost of living don't make the cut.

- Tax structure and rates (income, property, vehicles, sales, etc.)
- Access to primary care providers and tertiary health care
- Culture
- A faith community
- Diversity (I know this may rub some of you the wrong way)
- Climate/seasons
- Terrain and scenery
- Recreational opportunities
