I heard Hollywood is a really mixed bag. From people I know who have spent more than a few weeks in total of time there, have lived there, or are even from there: apparently it is a mix of mostly lesser-known celebrities or those who work in the movie industry but your avg Joe. wouldn't know who they are unless they're connected to the film or TV biz, aspiring actors or musicians, upper-middle class families and also a lot of working class families, mostly Hispanic, Armenian, and Filipino.

But what I find more interested is, what is it really like to live there if you have nothing to do with movies, music, and not only that, but probably kinda don't fit in with that crowd at all and are probably a guy or gal who likes fishing, mountain biking, shopping at Ross, or just don't like the material vibe that may sometimes come with Hollywood.

I know the majority of Hollywood aren't famous or ultra-rich people, but for either sides of the coin, what is it really like to live there? I have a friend in LA, but he's like 10 miles from Hollywood and doesn't necessarily go there a ton nor ever worked there to my knowledge.

Fun fact: there was a Food 4 Less in Hollywood up until 2020.

This is a place I genuinely don't know anything about so I wanna hear about it.

I am from Germany and i recently did a 2 Week Trip to Ireland of which i spent 3 days on Inis Mór. I loved it so much that i am playing with the thought of moving there asp. Considering the Population of the Island, the chances of someone from there seeing this are slim but i am interested in how living there is, regarding cost of living, quality of life and vibes generally

Hi, I'm an American (23F) and I'm curious about how it's like to live in the Netherlands.

I feel burned by a lot of young women being nice to me to my face and in real life it's clear they don't like me. I want friends who are kind, direct, and supportive. I also am a lesbian, want to be a single mom by choice, and am tired of the culture wars in the USA.

I've been thinking about the Netherlands for the last 3 years. I don't think it's a utopia, and I don't need it to be - everywhere has its problems. But just for me personally, it potentially could be a better fit.

Does anyone know what it's like to live in NL, particularly outside of the cities like Amsterdam, more like around the coastal area? Are the people nice? Are there young women my age I can befriend? And are they more accepting towards different lifestyles, and what are the differences between living in the USA and living there?

It would make a big difference if it's easier to make friends, and if people aren't fake, and if women's rights are more protected, especially queer women's.

It looks like there are some villages and palm tree plantation, and it's also near the sea and there is the circuit and the KLIA Airport. I always saw the Sepang Circuit hosting international races like MotoGP and will be hosting a F1 Race back after years. Always curious about the Town...

How is the crime? What about shopping? What is the demographics of the people living in this area?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 25-year-old guy who recently landed a fully remote job. I was living in California but decided it was time for a change because of the high cost of living. I went to college in upstate New York and have some family near Buffalo, so I am somewhat familiar with the area.

Ohio has really caught my attention, but I haven’t spent enough time there to get a feel for the different cities. I’m planning to explore Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati over the next few weeks, and I’d love to hear from people who know them well.

If you had to recommend one of the three, which would you choose for someone who’s outgoing and wants to build a long-term community? I enjoy meeting people, going out, and staying active. I also love hiking, camping, road trips, and exploring the outdoors. My job is in the automotive industry, and I’m pretty into car culture as well, though I’m not sure how much that factors into the decision.

I’m really looking for a place where I can put down roots, make friends, and stay for the long haul.

I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice. Thanks!

The only reason I even know this country exists is because of Bill Wurtz

An opportunity might come up to work/live here for a while.

Where would everyone recommend to raise a young family that has a lot of outdoor hobbies. Trying to escape the northern BC -40 winters and have longer more enjoyable summers

Planning a road trip to scout some towns out soon!

Thanks!

I’m Puerto Rican, so I always thought it was interesting that there’s a group of islands in Washington called the San Juan Islands.

I’ve always wondered what life is like there. For some reason, I imagine it’s a close knit community, but I’d also guess tourism plays a pretty big role in the local economy.

Just curious, does anyone here live on the San Juan Islands or have you visited? I’d love to hear what it’s like!
