A boomer moved from coastal Florida to a mobile home in a small Vermont town. She said she 'couldn't get out of Florida fast enough.'

• A boomer recently left her house in coastal Florida for a $12,000 mobile home in northern Vermont.
• She said flooding, growing commercialization, and heightened hostility in Florida pushed her north.
• While some daily costs are more expensive in Vermont, the state is welcome and cozy, she said. 

Kim, 68, recently packed her bags and moved from a small coastal city in Florida to a drastically different place — a snowy town in northern Vermont an hour south of the Canadian border.
