It is rich with culture and history, but it can be a very lonely place, and often has the effect of making you feel disconnected to the community. And although I do not plan to remain h… Read how I did it…

feel at home
How I did it: saved up 5k, fed exed my stuff and got on a place. i grew up in the area but moving to ny as an adult with no outside support is scary. its very expensive, its hard to get an apartment even if you can pay, and its an INTENSE place. scary scary scary. that fear soon transformed to opportunity and living my dreams as work just began to flow and community showed up. i would never call any place home ever again.

I love New York! It’s not like other American cities, It’s laid back but at the same time, it never stops and really reminds me of some parts of London.
