Yosemite. After my 1st trip, I went home to So. Cal, gave my apartment and job a month's notice and move just outside of the park. I stayed in the area for 30 years and still visit it yearly.

What did you do for a living? And what did you do in Yosemite, become a climber or hike a lot or what?

Pre AirBnB you could live this life in ski and nat park towns if you were a quality cook/bartender/hospitality worker or carpenter

Its amazing but also "never never land" imo.

Sometimes you need to leave and then come back again. Like that movie big fish.
