Moving to a New City/State Alone | My Experience & Advice 

I’ll be 27 next month and plan to move out on my own *ALONE* for the first time. What I’ve done to prepare me to meet people is look up volunteering opportunities. I’m not the type to go out much so I know I wouldn’t have much luck with that. 🥴 I don’t mind volunteering though!

I understand exactly what you’re saying my first move out of state was to Florida and it was scary but it was the best thing I could have done ! Definitely builds character and makes you grow as a person ! Love this video! You gave some really great tips 💜

Hey girly, new Sub here! Love the topic on this video and you said a whole word!! I can totally related and been in Charlotte for 3 months. Change is scary but it’s beautiful & definitely a humbling experience. I’m here for the growth & love to see it!

I’m moving 3,000 miles away. I’m terrified but excited to see where this journey takes me. 😊

Im leaving CT and going to Mocksville NC . Pretty cool I landed on this vid, and you went to NC as well.

we’re a lot alike lol! also graduated in 2020 & I just moved from new york to philly and didn’t really spend a lot time thinking about social life or anything other than the fact that I was excited to start a new job here since it’s kinda a dream job. when I got here I freaked out at the fact that I literally only had one person call here and haven’t had to make new friends in a long time. but this video was super helpful and i loved the note on changing your mindset so ty!! and good luck in charlotte!

You have checked all the boxes on my checklist 👍🏾 ✔️

Girl You are gorgeous! Black beauty is stunning! I wish I had that melanin..So pretty! I am glad you are getting after it. I have not cried since about 3 weeks ago. But I wanted to move because I needed to see something better. I mean I love my city but it is not exactly known for being clean, beautiful and safe. It was a long time ago. I just want better for me and my kids. If I decide to raise a family. I would not chose my city. At all.

Hey, love your apartment hunting/tour videos, and you really do have some great advice for people moving out for the first time, or living in a whole new city. I’m considering a move from up north down to Charlotte and have been researching apartments and reading reviews. My favorite place I’ve seen online so far is the complex you ended up choosing and while it gets a lot of great reviews, there are quite a few that comment on a lack of service from the leasing folks once you sign the lease, parking issues, and a lack of security. What has been your experience there so far? Aesthetically and amenities-wise, this place seems perfect for me, but I definitely want an insider’s opinion before I start touring places.

This is great! I never thought of Charlotte, but I'm moving from Jersey down there! Nervous, but excited!

I'm in the same boat right now!! I'll be moving from NYC to Charlotte next month for work (also a creative!), so this def hits close to home. It'll also be the first time I'm moving away from my hometown and family/friends, which only adds to the struggle for my introverted self 😅 Anyway, I'm glad I found this video!! Def helped ease my worries and reminded me why I'm doing this in the first place 😊

I totally enjoyed your video, I liked it, and I'm happy to share it on our Facebook page and group. :)

Hey! I made the vloggy vlog again! This is a great video full of awesome tips!

I’m moving there in January. I already moved to a new city before for grad school so I’m used to the experience but I’ve never moved to a whole new state so I’m a bit nervous but excited

Aww I’m a few years older than you but I appreciate this because I’m making the same move also from NY (I’m doing this to make myself learn to drive too lol). I’m also introverted but don’t have social media and don’t drink lol so it’s a struggle but I still like to go out and experience the culture of a city. Glad you’re thriving in Charlotte. Would you consider DC in the future?

So happy I found this video as I am thinking of relocating to Charlotte from the DMV area. I've been super excited about it, but of course, I've had people constantly putting thoughts into my mind about being down there alone. This video really helped to calm some of those fears. What was the Instagram page that you mentioned where you found out about different things to do in Charlotte? I couldn't hear it clearly.

I grew up in NY as well…. Brooklyn!!!

You look so pretty! Great advice ☺️

I definitely want to move out of my small town I lost my job and still live with my parents. I know that I have to save money to eventually move but for now my main focus is to work on my career to save money.

Just wanted to tell you thanks. This was the first video about moving experiences I came across months ago. Later this month I’m moving from the Alabama Gulf Coast to Louisville.

Hey girl hey! What’s SO crazy is that I’ve been strongly considering moving to a new city for awhile now. So I looked up just general advice and soon as the video started you said you live in CLT which is exactly where I’m thinking of going!!! Issa signnn lol

You're so pretty, the orange looks so nice on you ❤❤

I been ready to move out my hometown... i been looking at Charlotte. You should do a video on living in Charlotte. I do not see how you can live in New York 😭

Thanks for the video

I moved from Ohio to Florida and it was the best decision I made for myself

Omg you got a new subscriber! I had a big breakup with a long time partner so I want a change of scenery ! I want to move to Charlotte from Boston, I want a little bit of change without giving up all the seasons and I work in accounting so it's perfect! Definitely looking forward to the "cheaper" living down there. I'm an introvert too but I do agree about making new friends. Ive visited a couple times and I enjoyed myself, I also know someone whose lived there for years! Any recommendations on certain areas of Charlotte? I want to move beginning of next year and am looking at apartment costs/areas in Charlotte or right outside of Charlotte.

Rewatching this video and comparing it to now, you truly have grown so much and I can’t wait to see all your upcoming adventures. 🫶🏼🤍✨

Who does your hair in CLT? Hair care series featuring Charlotte salon and stores ? 🙋🏾‍♀️

girl… I’m wanting to move out of my hometown so bad. I have a podcast and want to have a RU-vid channel, and I was wondering if you could do a video on how you edit your videos may be? Or what equipment you use at least!

I really enjoyed this video!

Omg, I’m planning on moving from NY to Charlotte as well! 😢

First One 💯

I see you Glowing ✨; Keep it up Queen Looking very natural a Pure 💐 🤗

Love your video. My question is, how much money would you say is a good amount to have in saving before you move?

How is public transit? , bc I don’t have a car nor do I know how to drive , is Charlotte walkable ? Would you recommend?

Hi. First time viewer. Do you worry about safety?

Hey girl I’m planning a move to Charlotte and I’ve been obsessed with the apartment you chose since you showed it. Would you mind if I private message you to know the complex?

Got my eyes on Houston tx ✈️ & i feel like i’m gone be straight in a new state they dont know me i dont know them

I’m 22.. still in the same home town .. I had to move back in with family due to finances .. I just started a job and it’s cool I still don’t have a place but I have a car and I want to leave this city .. how long should I wait or should I just go for it ..start applying for new jobs, housing etc ?? 🙄🙄😢

I’m moving to Charlotte let’s connect

Friends are overrated… show me the 💰 💴 Scariest part of moving somewhere new, is job search if you don’t have one lined up!!

I learn you how to speak in English hehe 💟

Can we connect on LinkedIn? I’d love to meet you in Charlotte. I’m in a new town alone and I’d love to meet up.
