This Is Exactly Why I Moved to California 

I'd rather pay higher rent in paradise and cut expenses in other areas than save and live in a place I'd loathe.

I’m 64, and finally left the DC area three years ago for Palm Desert! Always knew I was meant for CA, and finally did it. It is heaven 🥰. Best wishes to you!

been drawn to california since i was 15. i'm 23 now, but i'm manifesting that i at least get to visit often in the future!!

I’ve been having a strong urge to leave Atlanta and go to California. I’m coming out the end of this month for my birthday but to also visualize myself there like you said! The thought of moving coast to coast is scary. But watching this gave me clarity that I need to follow that tiny voice inside. Thank you✨

I also just moved to SoCal from NJ - and have been loving it so far! I so look forward to not having to shovel or commute in the snow ☀️

I’m moving to socal in a couple weeks and am soooo excited! Definitely my vibe ❤

I live in Texas and i love California. People always want to talk me out of it and this time I’m not going to listen. I put in for a transfer and hopefully 🤞🏽 getting it. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤

Moved to So Cal from Tx 7 years ago...best decision ever...good luck.

Monica, the smile on your face throughout the video says it all!! Congratulation on making the move! I hope your experience in San Diego is everything you want it to be. Your message in this video resonated with me on a deep level. You stated that, in your gut, you knew that California is where you are suppose to be. I have the exact same feeling and that is why I'm making the move in the next 60 days. Thank you so much for the inspiring message. It definitely hit home with me!

I’m from California. You are going to love the weather.

Welcome to CA! We welcome people from all states and countries ❤. I hope you enjoy it!!

Good for you. Las Vegas resident here. Grew up in the San Fernando valley in CA. Decided a few years ago my partner and I wanted to move back to California to settle down. Ventura county area. Run up in housing prices and high interest has delayed things but hearing people are still able to make it gives us hope. Definitely a great motivation.

U r beast buddy.This vid brought me to tears. Currently in Houston, Texas. Move from CA 3 years ago at 19. I can't sleep bcz something within myself never leave Cali & my body n soul are not feel connected for a long period now. U r my mentor.

this is SO comforting. i am currently apartment searching in NYC and my gut is telling me that the city is not right for me. i actually toured a few apartments and when i got home that night i cried nonstop from the stress and because something just felt off. i've been dreaming of living in CA since i was a little girl but i don't know anyone there :(

I already have lived in California and im moving back 😊 Thanks for making this video

I’m trying to move to California from Ohio.

Thank you for your video my girl just left our apartment with my 4 year old and I’m now currently moving too LA in the next two months and it’s very scary and a little overwhelming knowing my kid will be back in Chicago but I just really have something in my gut telling me to go and I know this will change my entire families life and I’m so excited to get out and hustle and make a name for my self seriously thank you for your video and your words of wisdom

I needed to see this video. Thank you so much for your message about making sure your decision is coming fully from within yourself, and following that pull inside you from the universe! Yes yes yes ❤

I’ve been applying to lots of jobs in CA for after graduation already. I hope I get a job offer there! I feel intuition that I need to move there. I think I’d be happier there mentally, I need more warm weather.

Born and raised in SoCal so it much easier for me to always stay here… but even if I was solo I would never move anyplace else. Congrats.

Im soo excited for you! I’m determined to move to SD and I’m working on a plan to get there! Good luck on your journey. ❤

I just love your mindset! Thank you for this video. I am ready to take that leap of faith now! Definitely subscribing! 💕🔥

Wow this just aligned with me so much! Didn’t even realize it was San Diego till the video started & that’s where I’m moving too in a 3 months by myself from Dallas! This was perfect motivation & we seem to have similar reasons for moving. Would even love to have you as a friend once I get down there in March :)

I'am also planning to move to CA, from FL, mainly because from my past experience we used to pay for our apartment almost 2.5 times less in 2021, cost of living in Florida is getting on the same level as in CA, car insurance, flooding all year around, and there is no point for me to suffer from super brutal heat in FL, and swamp.. Maybe in Fall, i will start relocating to CA. Thank you for this video, it gives chills, that CA is still not lost.

So glad I found your video! I said the same thing about Tucson summers, this is my last one! I plan to move to San Diego in 3 years, I have not told many people because like you said, it's best to be sure. I have lived many years in places with either cold winters or hot summers and I would like to be done with that. Really liked your video, thanks!

So freaking proud of you! I know how much you’ve been wanting to do this ❤️ it’s only up from here babe

Thank you for this video. I've wanted to move to California since I was younger but it would be such a big move living in NYC. The winters here have gotten so harsh and longer. The whole environment keeps someone down especially with increasing rent. I'm starting to think a move like is what I might need.

Welcome to the best coast friend! I miss living in San Diego so much. :)

I'm hoping to move from Michigan to San Diego for the same reasons! I love nature, and the outdoors. It sucks dealing with negative temperatures and crazy snow out here. I'm so excited to transition to a better quality of life!

thank you so much. My absolute dream is to move to socal and I am from Ohio. I’m so so set on living my dream there, and I’ve been worried I can’t do it. Thank you for this

I’m planning on moving to Cali from Chicago next year (it’s been a dream of mine for years now) and people’s opinions have been really getting to me and making me second guess my decision, but I know it’s right for me!! Thank you for making this, I really needed to hear everything you said 💌

So happy for you 😘

omg i just stumbled upon ur video while looking for san diego content and i related soo much! im from new york and always thought the exact same thing about the winters! i thought after college i'd live in the city for a year or two and THEN move to california like i always planned but then i realized i shouldnt stay in a state/city i dont actually want to be in anymore. i still need to pick what city in california but san diego has always stuck out to me. im super scared to move to a place where i literally dont know anyone (especially when all my friends & family are back in ny) and have to go through awkward periods of not having friends but at the same time ive known ive wanted to do this since i was like 13. hoping to make the move late this year!!

Recently visited family in Southern California and I am ready to move there. It’s so beautiful.

Moving to socal from Chicago next month🙏🏾

Hi Monica, good luck with your adventures in California, aka my favorite state lol💕 Looking forward to more content 😍

Have the insane opportunity to join a top tier band and record in LA and doing research on how to move there from Oklahoma (!) and your vids have been very helpful so far thank you!

Welcome to Cali. I live in Northern California.

Omg u r so inspirational I am trying to live in Los Angeles as well❤❤❤❤

Funny...I am a born New Yorker (Brooklyn) who then moved to Jersey city and now looking to move to Cali..

Bienvenida mi casa es su casa

I want to request an update. What do you love about it now? It’s calling me so I gotta get there

I’m trying to get my fiancé to come there with me

I grew up in Southern California and lived there 50 years. The traffic and taxes chased me away. It just wasn’t worth it to me to stay. That was 14 years ago and don’t miss it at all. But I’m glad all of you are happy.

I need to gtfo of NJ ASAP🙄

Go back we're full!!!

Well welcome to California where people are angry all the time but the weather is beautiful. And you might end up getting robbed. 🤗🤗🤗🥲🥲🥲
