Move cross country

I recently moved from Chicago, IL to Orlando, FL with no savings, an uncertain apartment with a friend, and no car (I found an $80 plane ticket). It’s hard, but it was totally worth it.

I have wanted to move to Denver for 10 years. It’s amazing. I grew up up and down the east coast, but spending one week was all it took.
I hope to never move again.

Ok so this all started when i moved here a year ago and i fell into the wrong crowd and i had to deal with legal isuse and all that good stuff i want to get out of this state bcause i dont want to be known as the bad kid because i have never done anything like this before

finaly my dad got a job interview in seattle washington and my hole family got there hopes up my mom is a realiter  so she started looking for homes and i started maping out directions because i would have to drive the dog and we were all to happy for this and then on monday my dad siad that they called and that  they havent totaly siad no to him but that they want to keep looking for other canidates for the job my dad feels realy good about it and feels like he will get the job butt on the other hand we dont even no if they will call back.

And so i just wanna no how i can help my family and not put to much presure on my dad.

thanks

I’m a New Yorker.

I’m making the move tomorrow. I should be more nervous but my iPod just crapped out on me – so I’m irritated right now. Maybe that’s the gods trying to distract me so I won’t have a meltdown.

Got my plane ticket to NY for the end of this month. Now I just need to finish unpacking from my last trip and pack for a new life.

not New York for college. I thought about moving back home afterwards, but I really like the independence of not having relatives or high school buddies around. I’m forced to make new friends and experience new things that are changing me (helpfully for the positive). I’m very pleased with this decisions

moved from nyc to ca. i love it.

Moving is a pain, but sometimes you gotta do it. Here are the biggest tips for doing it right:

1) Start early. That goes for packing, making plans for the truck, finding a new place, etc.

2) This one is key. Get rid of absolutely everything you don’t need. You want to spend as little time and money packing as possible. Yes, you’ll want your furniture, but maybe not your entire DVD/CD collection. Books are notorious for taking up valuable space and adding tons of weight. Get rid of the ones you won’t read again or will never read. Donate your clothes to Goodwill (not all of them, just the ones you don’t want or need).

I really can’t stress getting rid of the junk as possible. Also, don’t spend time and money packing canned foods or boxes of cereal or any food at all, unless it’s really, really important. Trust me: they will have grocery stores where you’re going. Travel as light as possible. It’ll save you time, money, and prevent you from experiencing any more stress than necessary.

No regrets from me! :) Over four years later and I’m still here in Seattle!
