This was our first year in Philly after my wife and I left Arizona. We have loved it here. There have been a few bumps, but overall it has been wonderful. The people are great (yes, really. The whole kind but not nice thing is true in my experience), having so many options of things to do is wonderful, and having actual seasons instead of slightly different shades of brown is amazing.

I would love to visit Arizona since it looks beautiful but I’m not sure I could live in the desert.

Welcome! Happy to have you here :)

Thank you!

The desert does have a certain harsh beauty. I've lived in the Mojave, Sonora, and Chihuahua Deserts, all with their own quirks. I can tell you that one thing I definitely don't miss is the critters. It's not fun being stung by a scorpion in your own kitchen. And the centipedes are horrific. The tarantulas are cool though.
