It used to be that we moved to (and stayed in) whatever city we got a job in—whether we liked living there or not. Luckily, thanks to the rise in remote work and freelancing, we have more freedom than ever to take an active choice in where we want to livebut that doesn't necessarily make choosing where to live any easier. In her new book, If You Could Live Anywhere, Melody Warnick breaks down the considerations that should go into choosing where to live. The book offers practical advice for anyone considering a change of location, including different location strategies, factors you might not have thought about, and classifying people looking to move to a new place as either wanderers, seekers, or settlers. Today, Melody sits down with Katy to talk about her new book and the "surprising importance of place in a work-from-anywhere world." Find If You Could Live Anywhere on Amazon or whereever you buy books.
