I moved from Oregon to Philadelphia for the walkable city life, but felt homesick. I left less than a year later.
After growing up in San Diego and living in Oregon, I moved to Philadelphia. I soon missed the convenience of a car and access to outdoor activities.
After graduating from college in Oregon, Tristin Hoffman moved to Philadelphia for a job opportunity. However, she soon missed the walkable city life and outdoor activities that she was used to back home. Tristin found the Philadelphia winter weather to be harsher and more difficult to navigate without a car. The unpredictable weather and lack of a convenient car made it challenging to plan outdoor activities.
She also missed the convenience of her car, which provided easy access to outdoor activities like hiking and snow sports. Additionally, the city's constant hustle and bustle made it difficult for Tristin to find time for outdoor hobbies and socializing. After less than a year in Philadelphia, Tristin returned to her college town in Oregon, where she felt more comfortable and content with her lifestyle.
