I left NYC for SC and I'll probably never go back. Here's what the slower pace of life taught me about work-life balance and happiness.
After 14-years of living in the New York City area, my husband and I made an offer on a house, sight unseen, and moved to a small town in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Was it risky? Definitely. But it was also one of the best decisions we've ever made.in a newsletter I started, and I have a lot of notes for anyone who's ever considered making the leap from big-city living to a small town.
With the exception of a good friend who lives in Charleston, South Carolina, we didn't know anyone before moving to the Lowcountry. So, we took our time moving down and held on to our apartment as we eased into Lowcountry-living. Golf carts are necessary for getting around the island and even in the off-season, it's best to make reservations in advance.Our house in the South was going to be a vacation home. We made and lost offers on three other houses before one was accepted.
