Diversity: people, architecture, activities.
Viable Public Transit: Hate driving, love avoiding it.
Near Water: Maybe it's because I grew up in California, but I can't imagine not living near water. I've lived in Southern California, San Francisco, Sierra Mountains, and now New Orleans.
Unique: I like living in cities that are unique... like nothing else in the world. Hence, my love of San Francisco and New Orleans.

So exciting! Watch the movie "We The Tiny House People (Documentary): Small Homes, Tiny Flats" (free on YouTube). Start studying how Europeans live and organize their lives. You can do this! You may want to put all your possessions in storage in Chicago for 3-6 months as a "safety net". Once you realize you don't need those things and are happy without them, hire a friend to sell them/donate them. And remember my favorite line from the movie Fight Club: The things you own end up owning you. Good luck! Be free! Enjoy the adventure.
