You’d be amazed at home much information you can get about your willingness to live somewhere by just a short drive around a neighborhood of similar homes.
Go On Vacation

Outside of the obvious tourist stuff, do you think you could live somewhere with this weather, this culture, this type of access to different things? The more input you get with an eye toward actually living somewhere, the better basis you have to make decisions off of later.

Visit Relatives
