Hesitant? 1 week ago

My boyfriend and I had been planning on moving away from where we currently live (Austin) for over a year now. We are planning to move at the end of August. We had narrowed the cities down to a few, including Denver and Chicago and now he REALLY wants to move to Boston. I am not opposed to Boston I just know nothing of it. We are a young couple in our early-mid twenties. Do you think I should give it a try? Any advice?



Entry #1 2 weeks ago

We’re moving out of our apartment and downsizing. Although I’m a bit sad, I’m happy that in 1 1/2 years or so we will be able to live in Boston (not to mention, our debts will be completely paid off!).



How to move to Boston 2 weeks ago

Hi, I am currently living in Asia and I am planning to broaden my horizons by moving to Boston. I’ve always loved and wanted to move there since I was a child. I am currently working in the food industry. How do I move to Boston? Can anyone tell me the steps… especially if you are living in Asia… Thank you…



Got accepted! 5 months ago

I got accepted to the school a few months ago! I visited the city this past week and I had a blast. Can’t wait to move in a couple months!



7 months 10 months ago

That is my goal for moving day. Move in 7 months. I’ve lived in Eureka, CA my whole life. I still have some friends here, but to be honest I feel I have no real ties to this town. I’m applying to the Art Institute in Boston and whether I get accepted or not I am still going to move there. It’s all I want and think about. I know it’ll be a struggle since I am a poor college student, but it isn’t impossible and I am NOT going to let that stop me! Sayonara dull Eureka-town… Hello East Coast wonderfulness!

Got the bulk of everything moved into the awesomely beautiful and light-drenched apartment (with a front porch for container gardening) on saturday, now just have to pick up the odds and ends and the cats, and make the final trip back up either tomorrow or Tuesday morning, and then I will OFFICIALLY be LIVING IN BOSTON! Hooray! I feel like a ton of bricks are off my shoulders. Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

For some years now I’ve wanted to move to Boston, nothing permanent though. I just love when cities have such history and culture/arts. I would like to spend a few weeks or months getting to know the area and the people.

Getting closer. 12 months ago

I had an interview last night for a Nanny position in Boston. I cannot believe how close I am getting to achieving this goal. I may be there by January. :)

i just want to be there! 13 months ago

I have loved this city for almost 10 years. I just feel like I need to be there…I have no idea why, It is just calling me right now. I am doing a lot of research and hope to visit by st. pat’s, if not sooner.

It’s a shame, but we’re putting off the move for another year. The most ridiculous chain of events came together to completely deplete my savings and force me to stay here a bit longer. I’ve started a new job, moved into a new apartment with a year-long lease, and have decided to use this year to plan and save for the move with a little more organization.

And so, with new resolve to do it right this time, I begin my journey again. Savings plan in place, goals set with deadlines, and plenty of time to get rid of everything I don’t need to take with me, I’m trying not to crack under the stress of not having reached my goal. I’m trying to remind myself that a year is not that long, and that it’s probably for the best, that I’ll be more prepared this time, and with a better chance of making it.

I’m Boston-bound by next August. Wish me luck.
