I was born and raised right outside Boston, Ma. Loved it, great place to grow up and go to school.
I moved to Dublin Ireland when I was 20 lived there and London for a year.
Moved back to Boston and finally moved right outside Portland, ME about 3 years ago. I'll never go back to MA. Maine is so beautiful...long winters but you need to learn to play in them..skate, sled, ski etc. and the summers are just perfect.
I've traveled all over Europe and a good part of the US. (my Mom was a travel agent for 25 years!)
I don't think I would live anywhere else..maybe a nice warm island somewhere for the month of January might be ok though
