A question for people whose jobs or general lifestyle leads you to move around from place to place. What are some places you find yourself looking for first? And by that I mean, when I move I always ask myself:

  • Where’s my Taco bell (I’m American yes)
  • Where’s my Walmart (Still definitely American)
  • Where’s my job What are some of the first places you always find yourself looking for in a new area first?

    Provided I already know where I will sleep and take care of my little person:

    • Chemist/pharmacy, as I need daily medications without which, after a too short while, there won’t be much of me left.
    • Public libraries, and also bookshops (new/used).
    • A place where I can sit at a table and be left alone to work, if I fancy so.
    • Some cool places I can walk to? (parks, art galleries, museums, chess club, any kind of cool places). Walking is my friend and I will walk as much as I can. So, I like to find cool new places I can walk to. If there are no cool place, I will just walk around.
    • Office supply. My job happens between the tip of a pen(cil) and a sheet of paper, and if I always have spares with me I prefer having options.
    • If the place I live at provides no meal (handmade cooking, not some microwave junk) I will either:
      look for a restaurant offering actual food (non hyper-processed shit).
      look for a grocery store selling fresh/bio/locally sourced if at all possible, food that I can cook myself. A big plus if I can also find artisanal cheese (yes, I’m French).
    • Artisanal bakery selling handmade bread/pastries. Industrial bread should be declared illegal and a crime (see my previous remark about cheese ;)
    • A nice café/pub. Nice as in ‘this is some quiet and comfy place (without too loud music/tv, I’m 100% fine with people chatting, like actually chatting not the yelling drunkard kind) that sells great coffee and/or tea’ (even though I’m French, I’ve not touched alcohol in the last 30 years, and have zero desire to change that).
