Looking for the perspective of anyone that has lived anywhere in the USA and moved to Puerto Rico. What's it like, what's different, what's nicer, what was unexpected, and would you recommend the move?

Puerto Rico is part of the United States.

Someone born in PR can move anywhere else in the USA without a passport. Any US citizen can travel there as easily as going to another State.

It's just that PR, like Washington DC, is not considered a state, so they can't vote in Federal elections.

Americans that have moved to Florida...

Which is a valid question. I'm an American who moved to Colorado. Wasn't born there, made it my home.

I'm an American that moved to North Cakilaki and back to Florida, never to Puerto Rico or Colorado though.
