    Arizona News –

    • And they would head to Canada if they were to move abroad.
    • 14% have seriously thought about permanently moving over the past year.
    • Interactive map showing where families would relocate to.

    After another challenging year, this time with high food and gas prices and a summer of travel chaos, it’s not surprising that many people want to pack it all in, and live somewhere completely different. But if we had the choice, where would we go?

    FamilyDestinationsGuide.com, the kid-friendly vacation ideas site, surveyed 3,000 families to find out where families would move to, if they could hypothetically have a clean break and move somewhere else – with some interesting results!

    It’s no great surprise to see that families from some of the colder states wanted a bit of heat and sunshine; Alaskans would happily trade -30ºF winter weather for the warmth of Florida, while Coloradans would leave the ski resorts of Aspen, Vail and Telluride for the beautiful beaches of Hawaii. 

    So where would Arizonans move to, if they had the choice? Most said they’d be prepared to move to California! There are many advantages to moving to California. One of the biggest draws is the state’s diverse and vibrant culture, which is reflected in its food, music, and arts scenes. California is also home to many world-renowned universities and a highly educated workforce. The state’s mild climate, with mostly sunny days and low humidity, is another attraction for those who enjoy outdoor activities and a comfortable year-round climate. Additionally, California is home to a number of major industries, including technology, entertainment, and agriculture, providing residents with a wide range of job opportunities. 

    The poll did reveal some surprises. Californians, for example, are happy to turn their backs on permanent sunshine and heat and move to the chilly east coast, to New York. However, New York State does offer advantages which California cannot match – these include better public transport; four distinct seasons, and more favorable timezones for employees who liaise with European-based colleagues.

    And Wisconsinites would head to Arizona, which offers a sunnier climate, good job growth, a reasonable cost of living, and some incredible natural experiences, such as the Grand Canyon and the Red Rocks of Sedona.

    FamilyDestinationsGuide.com asked 3,000 families which would be their first choice if they were to move to an entirely different country in 2023 – a more challenging endeavor. Most chose the UK, perhaps because there’s no language barrier, plus it’s full of history, not to mention the Royal Family. 

    However, Arizonans would opt for Canada. Canada offers American families a high quality of life, a strong economy, beautiful scenery, proximity to the United States, and the opportunity for cultural immersion. It is a great destination for families looking for a change of pace and a new cultural experience.

    Bravest of all? Granite Staters would be happy to try their luck in Japan! それでは頑張ってください!(Good luck with that!)

    FamilyDestinationsGuide.com has created an interactive map showing where families would locate to in 2023.

    FamilyDestinationsGuide.com also wanted to find out the main reason people would be up for living elsewhere, and the results included better weather (16%); a healthier lifestyle (24%); better job opportunities (32%) and better pay (24%). 

    The survey also revealed that 14% have seriously thought about permanently moving over the past year – but what would they miss the most if they moved abroad? The survey revealed what they would miss the most if they moved abroad: unsurprisingly, 40% would miss family, and just 8% would miss their friends (possibly because it’s so easy to keep in touch these days, and there’s also the prospect of making new ones). 32% said the familiarity of how things work, and 20% said American culture. 

    And finally, if Americans could purchase another passport from any other country, the average amount they’d be prepared to spend would be $7,155. Not a huge amount considering it would be both literally and metaphorically a passport to a new life…

    Hey Papi
    Happy Father’s Day Papi!

    How’s it going up there in heaven? It’s Father’s Day here on Earth, and I’m thinking of you—missing you—now that I’m one year older than you were when you passed away. I just want to thank you for everything you taught me. Thank you for taking such good care of me. Thank you for helping me walk when I couldn’t walk. Thank you for making me strong against all adversity. Thank you for teaching me how to look behind the scenes and see what’s not being shown.
