Well after loosing my job here in NY i decided i will be saying bye to the city and moving to North Carolina. I really can’t do another winter here, rent is crazy and when i immigrated here from the Dominican Republic i never felt like i belonged.
This is car related because i bought a 2015 Mazda 6 i touring. I got a really good deal on it through a subaru dealership.

Tail of the Dragon for sure! It’s roughly...4.3 hours west...n ot the best distance but within a weekend’s trip for a famous road (and less populated roads around it) ! There’s Highway 421, “The Snake”, that’s about 2 hours from you and there’re tons of local mountains near Boone, NC and the Cherokee National Forest.

226A near Little Switzerland (just east of Asheville) is supposed to be great. I still need to make a point of making the trip from the Charlotte area.
Welcome to North Carolina (when you get here)!

It very different culture from NYC, but that would be true for many places. As long as you are open to that, you'll be okay.
