As a person that came here as a child in '93 and grew up here, i couldn't relate to most of the things you cover. It's mostly because we live in different boroughs, which is equivalent to living in different worlds. Life in Queens is very chill here. Manhattan is for most people who want to try NYC. And of course those who do that, don't last, due to burn out. You can't live life going 200mph.

What did you expect? Carrie Bradshaw lifestyle on min wage?

After 10 minutes of high speed rambling, I gave up. Did she ever get to the reason for why she's leaving?

this was some crazy camerawork and cinematic editing :) here’s a new sub!

oh we are so locked in

NYC is pretty raw and it does get old after a while. Been here over 25 years.

Holy hell, where to even begin. The algorithm cursed me with this video and I decided to give it a click. Please leave New York; it doesn't want you or need any more like you. Your B-roll vomit, filled with Eventbrite fodder and galactic intervention is causing the rent to increase city-wide by its mere existence on the internet. Your ambivalence and cognitive dissonance isn't because you're being "called by the universe," it's because you're chasing something that doesn't exist and your brain is slowly rotting due to overexposure to romanticized content and - ironically - over-hustling as portrayed by influencers that you NO DOUBT, consume WAY too much of. You've treated New York as an all-you-can-eat buffet and filled yourself with nutrient-void, bottomless, soft-serve ice cream and wonder why "you don't feel so good". Long-term (or life-long) average New Yorkers (not Neppo-Children or Influencers) don't live like your fantasy - they work normal hours, have normal commitments, and might do something "interesting" the city has to offer, when they have the time. Brunch every weekend, a casual Broadway show in the evening every two weeks, and alternating Ceramics classes between your Hot Yoga on Wednesdays isn't normal. You've given yourself no time to level out and see what it's like to live in the city, when your luster of it begins to fade. In the end - You are young (as admitted) so, I'll cut you some slack and I hope you find whatever the hell it is you're looking for. Just remember: The grass is greener where you water it. That being said, maybe try California. I'm sure there's a Hoop Flow-Tarot Card group with your name on it out there.

All your reasons for leaving get stronger. Pretty funny you didn't make it half a year. Good luck on the journey.

This is amazing!!!

Florence. Make sure you get to Bologna next door 🇮🇹

Also winen in Rome you have to see the Opera, and get your feet wet in La Fontana di trevi like Sofia Loren

Here's my little request, of what I would love to see. This is what I want to see. Commedia dell'arte in Italy, mike school and the fire scene in Paris, and in Madris iglesia "patolica" (like in Duck in Spanish ) the flow scene in Berlin, and come back with some serious layers for the winter.

❤ Yeah, we miss you already

I spent 4 years being a digital nomad collecting tattoos all over and wound up settled in NYC now. Your journey will be a wild one. Staying in each city only a week or two will tire you out fast. I started at a month in each city and most recently it was usually 2-3 months.

Good for you! Follow your gut, take chances and see what LIFE has in store for you!

Obsessed with your views of nyc landscapes and people, also the rewind at the start

This cannot be your first film making and vlog stuff, how did you get so good??

have you visited SF? :0

I wish I could subscribe twice

I want to live your life ❤🎉 congratulations on this opportunity make the most of it 🎉✨🤗

I just stumbled on your last video when you were getting ready to leave NYC. I’m so jealous that you are doing the digital nomad. So if you travel so as many places as you can, what if you finally get into a relationship and he wants to travel to a place you’ve already been to? Would you go again? If no then that would be a con because your partner wants to experience that country and you don’t, but if you do then that’s good. Hope you have fun and experience everything you’ve wanted. Can’t wait to see more of your adventures. Ps NYC is the best because it has everything you need 😎

No place like here in New York. Would love to meet up if you come here :)

Excited to watch your journey!! 💖

Congratulations! 🎉 FIRST! 😂

I can only do nyc max 3 days then i have to get out. Its got some amazing things but i couldn't do it long term.

I live in NYC and have done so all my life. I think you can sum up this whole video with what you said about picking a decision and sticking to it. I have also travelled a lot in the last few years in a digital nomad capacity and found a wall with the monotony of that routine. I think there are different eras in everyone’s life and as long as youre following your heart the universe will continue to smile upon you. Its not where you go but who you are with and what you do when youre there.

I'd be pretty cautious with the while digital nomad thing in today's world -- keep your remote job that's awesome but I'd be putting down roots somewhere. Lived in NYC and loved it but that was pre-covid and pre this immigrant insanity. Best of luck.

safe travels

Be careful 👊

I just found your channel and love it. I followed you ❤ But please save a 1-2 seconds pause after every sentence or insert something or a break.. you talk continuously so i needed to pause and digest what you're saying before you jump to another sentence/ topic.

I can only handle NY for 3 days at a time. Not for me. Nice to see but no way would I want to live there. You are doing amazing. I did the same like you and worked online and travelled in my 20's and now I settled down, sort of, and have a kiddo. I have zero regrets about doing what you are doing as I can now fully focus on raising a child.

You seem to be profusely confused. This is common in your twenties but don't remain glued to a state of confusion. I hope you identify your true happiness and find a way to monetize your happiness. Your twenties are the best time for making mistakes as you still have time to recover. But trust me when I tell you to save and invest your money because today you're enjoying your twenties and in a flash the 40s is your reality.

5 months?! Yeah you’re not ready for NY. Honestly, based on this vid, you really never were ready for NY. It’s def not for you. But I really wish you luck in your future endeavors.

I'm a native New Yorker, and it's nice to see someone who has so much passion about my city. New York is an amazing place. I'm glad you appreciated your time here. Too many people live here, but don't take advantage of all the opportunities that are available. Thank you! Loved your video.

Post your results - you sound like a classic case of UARS. Also weed and ssri will both reduce your REM sleep and might help

People like this woman are why rents are out of control in New York. Too many people will accept being financially unwise to experience life in NYC for a few years.

To be female, young and beautiful….. if everyone was like you I’m sure we wouldn’t have issues in any city in the world. Enjoy it while it lasts. ✌️

Just from this video, New York really isn't the right place for you.

If a guy says you’re pretty and asks you out, does that constitute as harassment? Sounds like you bonded with many non New Yorkers

I moved to NYC as a kid in 1990 and grew up here and I just want to give this video a little bit of context. I don't know Kelly. She seems like a very nice young person and I respect everything that she went through and the opinions of NYC she got from living here. Any one who actually takes the plunge to move to this BEAST of a city and tries to make it here deserves praise. The issues she brought up here are valid and most of them are true. That said, Kelly experienced a very specific type of transplant NYC life that MOST native NYers just do not live in. This city is HUGE. 9 million people living in 5 boroughs. Over 300 distinct neighborhoods with vastly different types of people and lifestyles. The images in this video show places where only about 10-15% of NYers live. NYC is not just Central Park and the transplant neighborhoods of lower Manhattan. It's not just the hipster neighborhoods of Williamsburg and LIC. People living on the beach in the Rockways are NYers too. Their NYC is different than what is portrayed here. People living in the suburban like mansions of Forest Hills Gardens, Riverdale, Douglaston, Mill Basin, Ditmas Park, Todt Hill, Bayside and Little Neck are as much NYers as anyone living in The Village and they live a COMPLETLY different lifestyle that Kelly frankly probably doesn't know much about. And that is the point. There is no single NYC experience or lifestyle. There are 9 million different NYCs. One distinct and unique for every person living here. On the weekends, while Kelly is hanging at some packed bar in The City, surrounded by transplants, I am on a Kayak in a bay in the same city, with not a single person within miles of me. Both experiences and lifestyles are NYC. And that is what makes NYC great. You get to pick the type of lifestyle you want to live and there is something for everyone if you look hard enough. I wish more people who came to this city from other parts of America experiences the OTHER NYC. And didn't just go to the hipster and tourist parts. There are so many other types of stories to tell that have nothing to do with what is being shown here and more people need to know about that. Good luck with everything Kelly. I have no doubts that you will do great in life.

Thanks for your perspective.

Holy shit…slow down😂😮

I am also fully remote. I was just in the Philippines for 2 months. Next trip will be Bogota Colombia which has good WIFI.

I can tell you and I would get along well. You are the type of girlfriend I need in my life. I was born and raised here in NYC in Brooklyn but now live in Flushing. Sorry to hear you are leaving NYC. Also there is nothing wrong with moving fast in a relationship. Life is too short. Have fun and live your best life!

2:51 u talk really fast too lol

Just want to say with the relationship thing that it's not uprooting your whole life fof this young relationship if the guy hasn't really commited to any location. What is he giving up? Nothing. And a relationship may be just another nice thing to you, but for the men I know it's one of 4 singular life milestones, and the most important of them. I'd EASILY uproot my life for the right women. A partner for my dreams and half the dna of ky offsprings. My legacy. Make the wrong choice there and you can lose half of everything you thought meant something. Most women don't feel that way the other way around from my experience, but there's a reason in the movies it's the man who leaves home and finds a woman during his travels. Once you have that true life partner, everything else reveals itself

Don't sell yourself short. You are super shallow. Don't worry, tho you'll have 50 some odd years of loneliness to think about it.

You seem a lot more like a West Coast girl tbh

Good luck! You are young, it is ok to try different experiences x

I love your story and I’m glad you are not only aware of the signs, you are listening to the messages and signs and making decisions based on them. I’m so so happy for you. Sending you love and light🙏✨🙏
