Tell us a little about yourself, where did you grow up? I grew up in Santa Barbara, and have been here my whole life, though most of the time I take it for granted. Would like to live in an East Coast city or even abroad for a while, a change in scenery would make me appreciative of Santa Barbara's small city feel.
