It’s hard to imagine, but some people do indeed move away from the Sunshine State. There are various reasons someone might consider making a move. Maybe it’s for a job opportunity or to be closer to relatives, or maybe they just couldn’t stand the heat of our intense summers. No matter what the reason, one thing is for sure: You’re going to miss it when you leave.
