I Could Live Here

James and Denise discuss their ongoing journey to sell their Los Angeles home and embark on a nomadic lifestyle. They share three "bumps in the road": struggling to rent a minivan without a credit card, receiving a comically small storage pod, and challenges finding suitable Airbnb accommodations in Seattle with parking. The couple reflects on their emotional attachment to their family home and exchanges top five lists of what they'll miss about Los Angeles (including Dodger Stadium, Capitol Records, Mexican food, and the drive to Malibu) and what they won't miss (traffic, expensive dining, helicopter noise, and the "what can you do for me" attitude). They discuss their plans to help their youngest daughter move to Seattle for college while lamenting that she won't have a home to return to for the holidays. James and Denise's experience highlights both the challenges and excitement of leaving one of the best places to live in California to discover where to live next as they prepare for their cross-country adventure.

Before "I Could Live Here," there was the "Skiptown All-Stars" podcast. Empty nesters James and Denise share their bold decision to sell their Los Angeles home and travel across America searching for the best places to live. After 25+ years in expensive LA, they're leveraging remote work opportunities that emerged during the pandemic to explore affordable retirement options and find where their adult daughters might someday live nearby.

The couple discusses their financial strategy—selling their home to become debt-free—and their six-week travel plan from Seattle to the Florida Keys. They'll be visiting Salt Lake City, Santa Fe, Dallas, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, and Miami while documenting their experiences in hotels, Airbnbs, and local restaurants.

Their journey represents what many dream about: discovering where to live that offers better affordability, community connection, and quality of life. The podcast promises to share both mishaps and discoveries as they evaluate potential new hometowns across the country.
