Things you will miss if you leave California

From time to time we need to move to places, may it be permanently or not. Some needs to do it for work or for a better way of living. Some just want to tour a place for some time or to visit a relative or a friend. Whatever the reason may be, will it be a long stay or not, our mind and body still needs to be able to adjust to the place. Why? Because the surrounding of the new place might either be too cool or too hot for us, or maybe it has a different time zone that will make it hard for us to get some sleep. It’s not just that, every culture is different as well. There might be some things that are legal on your origin that is prohibited on the new place. Sometimes, people on the place might be too or not too hospitable compared from where you came from.

If you are from California and you would want to visit or move to another countries, we have listed the things that you got used to in California that will make it hard for you to adjust in another place.

1. There are fresh fruits and vegetable anywhere in California

The state is rich when it comes to agricultural products. You’ll be able to buy fresh fruits in the market or you may even harvest them on your own. Since the weather condition in this state is really good when it comes to farming, some tend to even plant fruits and vegetable on their backyard. In other state or country, it might be hard for you to find fresh and newly harvested fruits and vegetable either due to their weather conditions or due to lack of agricultural spaces. You might go looking for the taste of freshness in your avocados, well, you might find one but not as good as what you used to have.

2. It’s sunny in California almost all year long

This might be one of the hardest adjustment you have to make. The fact that you’re used to a fine weather condition made it a habit for you to wear the simplest and most comfy clothes on your closet.

You might miss these types of environmental trips and activities once you transfer, though there are some places that has good hiking sights but it might not be as many or as beautiful as California’s.

4. California is a very diverse state

This state is known to be open to all types of races, gender, tradition and all types of things that may make one different to the other. There are other communities that are also welcome to this types of things but there are some that are not either due to their beliefs or religion or it might affect their tradition. Well, gay communities might be usual nowadays but the level of acceptance differs from one place to another. In some, they might be accepted but not recognize by the government but in some, they play a big part of the community and the constitution.

5. Gorgeous beaches
