That's how I was, even as a kid. I used to imagine the clouds on the horon were mountains. It was a very strong pull

When I made the move, things started making more sense and I felt much more at home. This is where I thrive

Yeah I'll never forget the first time I visited. San Francisco except I didn't care too much for the city. I kept looking at the mountains in the distance. Then we went hiking in Big Sur and I felt like that's where I could be forever.

Even less-attractive areas like Phoenix pull me. The surrounding beauty of the desert and the nearby mountains. The fact that I can hop over to Camelback or Squaw Peak and have an afternoon hike. Take a drive to Flagstaff or Sedona. Go kayaking in the Colorado.

I'd take all of that over city life any day.
