➡️WHY WE MOVED TO MIAMI 👀🌴[Save + Share]

After nearly 7 years in NYC (and 18 months of full-time travel), we often get asked why we chose to make Miami our new home base. Especially when neither one of us is American and we’ve spent over a decade living and working in Europe (London/France/Amsterdam/Berlin), Asia (Hong Kong), and Latin America (Mexico).

While the weather was a contributing factor to our Florida move, the following reasons also played a major role:

1. No state income tax which equals big savings (very important since we have technically retired early/are part of the FIRE movement)

2. Cheaper real estate than NYC/ more affordable investment opportunities 

3. More affordable childcare/daycare than NYC (we pay less than half now🙏🏾)

4. Racially and linguistically diverse (super important for us as a multiracial and multilingual family)

5. Increased opportunities to be physically active due to great weather all year round 

6. Large international airport with excellent flight connections to the Caribbean and Latin America

7. Still in the Eastern Time Zone which is important for the work I do

8. Still within a two and a half hour flight to NYC so I can get my Big Apple fix! Flights to NYC are also cheap— I’ve flown round trip multiple times for less than $100 USD (and had to pop my Sprit Airlines cherry🍒 to do it, but that’s another story for another day👀👀👀)

Would you ever consider relocating to a different city? If so, what would you like to know about the process? And which one of these reasons for moving to Miami most surprise you?
