All about moving to another US state that better suits you. I interview regular people and hear their stories about why they decided to move, where they moved to, and their thoughts about the move now that they've lived in their new state for a while. Real people - Real stories. If you'd like to be a guest please email me at findabetterstate@gmail.com.
