Boise - Both for Business and Pleasure
When I graduated from college with a degree in advertising and triumphantly announced that I was going to move to Boise, Idaho, I was met with many puzzled looks and bewildered responses. Common questions: “WHY would you move to such a small city ‘in the middle of nowhere’ right out of college?”, “I thought you were really passionate about advertising?”, ”Seriously!?”, “Do you have family there or something?”
At Balihoo, many of my coworkers experienced similar reactions and comparable questions from friends and family; however, for most, the decision was made largely for the same reason: the amazing atmosphere and lifestyle that Boise provides (being able to enjoy outdoor sports of all varieties 365-days a year is pretty fantastic - as are the kind of people attracted to such a lifestyle)! National Geographic, CNN Money Magazine, Kiplinger, U.S. News & Report and MSNBC all agree.
