With mobility at an all-time high, the opportunity to build the life of your dreams is available to you. MapTitan makes taking that opportunity simple.

Use your mobility

Decades ago, it was common to remain in a single job for your entire career. As a result of this culture, people of the past settled in the same city they moved to in their 20s. A lifetime of events took place in the town chosen by a post-college job offer. Somewhere better may have crossed one’s mind but it was dismissed because of societal conventions or a lack of opportunity. But today, it’s the opposite.

In the present day, people are more mobile than ever. Talent is needed from coast to coast and people are becoming free agents, promoting their self-brands. Not only is it socially acceptable to move around, but it’s extremely common. There are even abundent opportunities to work remotely. In this world, it’s entirely possible, and almost the norm, to seek out the places you’ll be happiest living in and make the move.

Live somewhere as unique as you

But with the freedom to go anywhere, how do you decide? How do you optimize your planning to ensure you’ll love where you end up and be able to succeed personally and professionally? Well, we find resources that give us insights into the lifestyles that these places foster. In previous years, these resources were limited to rankings with titles like, “Top 10 Cities To Live In”. Many of those articles have been created, attempting to define the best cities for anyone to live in and regularly disregarding the uniqueness of both the cities and you.

With so many different cities available to live and work in, it’s surprising that anyone tries to objectively rank cities as overall “best” or “worst”. In fact, determining if somewhere is a good place to live is truly a personal experience. The best and worst cities for you may be very different from the best and worst cities for me. It depends on your own preferences, goals, skills, and interests.

We now live in a world of on-demand service and ultra-personalization. So why should something as individual as where you build friendships, perform creative work, and grow as a person be determined by a one-size-fits-all list? This problem is one of the issues that MapTitan is attempting to solve. Now, there’s a fast and simple way to connect with the places where your own individual talents and interests can flourish.

Belong wherever you go

A key part of creating your dream life and using your skills fully is to find a supportive group of similarly focused people. However, one of the hardest parts of moving to a new city is integrating with the community and building new friendships. If moving to a place that you’re unfamiliar with, it can be very lonesome searching for like-minded people as well as personal and professional activities. But now, there are ways to feel more connected from the start.

MapTitan supports a community where anyone belongs, no matter where they come from. Because recommendations and insights account for culture, it’s easier than ever to determine if a city is a good cultural fit and to feel closer to the residents, before you go. And when you love your next destination, you’ll feel higher self-pride and self-esteem because your identity aligns with your new community. It’s the perfect setup for the life you desire.

Free yourself to do incredible things

When you love where you live, you’re free to pursue your dreams and to create the lifestyle you envision. In your personal “best city”, you are no longer bridled by picturing somewhere else. Instead, your home enables you to think creatively in a community that inspires and encourages you. Where you live is a platform for your success in life and it directly impacts your enjoyment of what you do.

Your city has a significant effect on your overall happiness and health because of the emotional connections you naturally build with the place. These emotions can be negative, adversely affecting your well-being, or they can just as easily be positive, propelling your mood. When your city is an ideal fit, you’ll make stronger connections and have a more positive outlook. In fact, your experiences and personal growth are more rich when you love where you live. Overall, your mind will be clearer and more determined to accomplish all of the incredible things you want to achieve in your lifetime.

It’s time to live in a place that resonates with your personality, somewhere that empowers you to build the life of your dreams. It’s time to make home where your heart is. MapTitan is available now, for free. Your personalized recommendations for places you’ll love to live are waiting for you.
