About Marcus

Marcus Webb spent his twenties moving between six cities chasing the right combination of opportunity, cost, and community. He never quite found the perfect place, but he got very good at the logistics of looking. He writes about relocation, city research, and the gap between what a new city looks like on paper and what it actually feels like to live in. He is currently based in Denver, where he admits the cost of living is no longer what drew him there.
