Well, I've always been a bit of a risk taker, so keep that in mind, but I'd move. If you have money to cover for a bit, and you'd be going closer to family, I'd say that is where you should be. This is coming from a person who could not live without her family (even the ones that drive me nuts). I think if it's what your heart wants, and you are not silly about it (i.e. have an emergancy plan, family that would take you in etc) then do it.
