What is it like to move from Monterey to Santa Cruz?

Moving from Monterey to Santa Cruz was an exciting experience for me. The vibe in Santa Cruz is more laid-back and artsy compared to Monterey. I noticed a significant increase in outdoor activities and a stronger sense of community in Santa Cruz. The beaches and redwood forests are a beautiful change of scenery. Overall, I've really enjoyed the transition and have found new hobbies and friends in my new city.
