After 8 years of living in Connecticut, my family and I decided to move to Florida due to high taxes and job reasons. I left Connecticut in late February of 2019, and never regretted it. It was a big change moving from a fast paced environment like New York to relaxed environment like St Petersburg, Florida. Everyday life has been calmed and relaxed, with warm days and nights and many beach days. Disney has also been a big part of my life, and has been visited multiple times a month by me.
The weather has been decent, especially in the Fall and Winter months, but let me be honest, summer sucks because of high humidity and extreme heat that feels like over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The biggest change is the lack of seasons, due to constant warmth and location in the United States. Overall, Florida is a great place to live and work, with great people and weather all year round.
Lastly, the people have been a big part of the move. The people in Florida have been very nice and helpful when we got here. They are very polite and a re willing to help you with what ever you need. No offense, but people in Connecticut, a part from the people that I knew and interacted with on a daily, were very welcoming or helpful. This made my decision to move to Florida very easy.
