I'm in California now.. and having a job within walking distance is a plus.. If I went back to South Florida to live with my family I most likely wouldn't find a job I'd like to have nearby..

Thanks for sharing what you know about living in Florida. Yes, South Florida definitely has an amazing night life but that is not the reason why I want to move. I'm not much of a party-girl... I just fell in love with the culture in Miami. I love meeting people from different cultures and it was so amazing to go out every day and always meet someone from a different country. I think my reason for wanting to move so bad is that I feel like I am ready to experience something new and because I don't have any kids and because I'm not married I feel like this is the perfect time in my life to make such a change. I may not ever get the opportunity to do something like this in the future. I also have a degree in Bilingual Education and although I can't put my degree to use in any state where I live, if I were to move to Miami and eventually legalize my status (whether it be through DREAM Act or I just happen to meet a hot Argentinian/Spanish/Italian man, fall in love and marry, lol, a girl can dream!) I would be in a place where I can put my degree to use.

And I I own a car... I don't have a license but I have been driving since I was 16. Here in TX, certain insurance companies will allow you to insure your vehicle even if you don't have a drivers license and even some small owned car dealerships will put the car title and everything in your name without having to provide a driver's license if you purchase a car from them. These are the type of things that I don't know how/or if I could find in South Florida... I don't know anyone down there which is why I decided to post my fears/concerns here.

But yeah... I have a lot of thinking to do. Thank you so much for giving me some good points to consider and think about. I really appreciate it!!
