I don't know a lot about Rio except that it doesn't get below 70, so that's something you'll definitely need to get used to.

I've lived here my whole life and it really depends on your mentality. It's slow. There's not much to do inside outside of bowling, drinking or watching movies. It's improving, though.

Recommend having an outdoor hobby for every season (hiking, skiing, swimming/camping/kayaking are common ones).

It's hard to make friends as an adult. If you're in your 20s it's easier, thirties isn't tooooo bad, after that it's very hard as far as I'm aware (I'm in my early 30s).

Once you have friends it's easiest to make friends through friends as someone from out of state.

I always recommend people check out Portland, ME. It's the city I'd live in if I wanted a more city-like experience.

NH people aren't traditionally friendly we're very independent and probably don't want to talk to you (see making friends), but once we warm up we're mostly friendly.

Jobs are available, but working remotely for companies in Boston will get you the most money.
