Dear Kristen, I very very rarely comment but I need to tell you that your videos, especially the ones after moving to ny, give me so much strength and the courage to be authentic. It's hard to put into words but I admire your honesty and am very grateful for everything you share about your life. It relaxes me to see but at the same time I want to go into the world and live life haha. Thank you for that 🫶
I moved from Thessaloniki to Berlin 2 years ago. I relate to all the excitement and looking at things with fresh eyes. I relate to all the challenges (yes, healthy food is the biggest) and fears. I still panic over bureaucracy and how much more the capitalism wants from you here compared to Greece. But the true is that by leaving Greece i saw for the first time opportunities to grow and see actual results to my efforts. You lose something, you win something. You will go through a lot of changes inside of you. Enjoy the journey.
A silk top is never too much for reading in the park and beautiful makeup that makes you feel good is never too early in the day. You will absolutely find housing. Sometimes you have to get very creative and unconventional when your circumstances call for it. Subletting, renting a room in a larger apartment (temporary roommates are better than homeless in NYC), private landlords, airbnb, weekly hotels (surprisingly sometimes cheaper than air bnb and you don't have to do all the cleaning 😉), and last but not least housesitting. If you can find a house/petsitting gig you can usually stay in the client's home, some folks need an in-home pet sitter for months at a time. Doesnt typically pay well but puts a roof over your head. Glad to see you. You can do this. if anyone can up and go to NYC and find their footing its you.
Private landlords will often skip the credit check and also are more open to month to month or short term leases. The big property management companies are a totally different story and harder to work with in unique circumstances. If you can offer a private landlord like two months of rent up front for a short term lease they're more willing to do the short term lease. If you can get any kind of rental references from the places you've stayed in New York so far that can also help.
Again enjoying to see your life in NY a lot! I yearn for adventure, even if it's stressful and uncertain, it also makes thw world somewhat magical, in a way? I feel so bored in my life right now lol So thank you for being inspiring
Hi Kristen, I have to say I am so excited about your new chapter in NYC! Been following you for a long time and you are just the best. I live in Jersey City, and it is relatively cheaper housing compared to BK or Manhattan. I would recommend considering looking over here? With the Path train, it like 20 min to Lower Manhattan it is very close! you may already know all of this haha, best of luck - you are going to find accommodation very soon
Same struggles, with the endless administrative issues while moving to NY - tough city. Glad you took time for yourself ✨ I preferred my Year of Rest and Relaxation to Big Swiss but I get it, it is phenomenal and in its own league. What did you think about the Vegetarian ? Also I had the same dish (Xian's famous food) a couple days ago - DELICIOUS.
May I say something? I will do it anyway. Ok, let me get it out of my chest: I love your problems and how gracefully you are going through. I hope that everyone on this planet could' go through life like you. Hope you find everything is good for you in NY 😊❤🙏 I am not wishing others in the way: have everything you want... because it sucks! When people receive everything they are freaking out and some destroy their life. So it's better to trust life 🧬 and go with the flow 😊❤🙏
Just finish watching the second twitch stream (cuz again I didn't calculate it correctly 😭) and I'm getting A VIDEO, TOO. Feels like it's my birthday 🎉😂 Τα λέμε, ελπίζω, στο επόμενο live της Πέμπτης (ώρα Ελλάδας i guess 01:00 ξημερώματα Παρασκευής?!)
Omg keep the vest! I have also been living in oversized men's button downs this summer in Texas. Any time I spot a tommy hilfiger or ralph lauren I'm tempted to grab it. You are so relatable I feel like I discovered a long distance pal 🙂
I hope you figure out your bank/credit thing out and get a solid living situation soon soon. Silly idea, once you are settled into a secure apartment lease and not as stressed out would you be willing to showcase Greek vegetarian/vegan traditional foods? I hope you enjoy the book you are reading. Warm regards from the Seattle area! ~Julie
Only New Yorkers now the feeling of SHEER DREAD at not knowing what apartment you’re going to live on next. I just had that last week and only calmed down once I found a place. I hope you find one soon too!
I appreciate the sentiment of this but it’s not really true, there’s housing crises all around the world and as someone who lives in the UK, in my city it is equally as hard to find a place at the moment. Just to contribute that to the discussion, as I think it’s important to think beyond the spheres we all live in. Agreed that it’s a joke though and there needs to be some sort of government intervention to deal with this issue worldwide. Peace and love ✌️
I must be a feral trash goblin because I don’t immediately wash clothes I thrift 😂 (though I probably should bc I just bought a pair of jeans from goodwill that someone had worn without underwear 🤢)

Haven’t had time to start the Vegetarian yet but I’ll pick it up asap!
Kristen, your thrifted items are stunning!
Thanks for sharing! Rooting for you and your new life in NY 🌟✨
I'm in love for yours new yourks vibes videos

You gotta keep the vest, it's fantastic on you!
Yes!!!!! GIRLS is my favorite show EVER
Love your outfits with the distressed off-white shorts and combat boots!!
please Mr. Biden give this woman a small loan of a million dollars right now so she can thrift some nice clothes
it's what the nation needs
Love when you said someone else needs to wear it that's how I justify leaving gorgeous items at the thrift instead of hoarding at home 😂❤
You immediately flew to mind when I heard of the new airbnb 30 day laws in NY. :'(
🫶🫶🫶 Sonya! I’m all good! All the places I stayed in were sublets no airbnb 🥳
a gorgeous vlog from a gorgeous girlieeeee ♥💕💞
You could just take things to the tailor. I know they have a ton in NY and they're reasonably priced.
I am gagged hearing you talk of New Jersey. GL with housing endeavors!!
enjoying your use if the word feral and your new term: trash goblin😂
Loved the skatergirl vibe on you! But such a great video!

Hahah 🫶 you’re so sweet! Yes greek time 1am Friday morning yikes, the Sunday stream will be at 7pm though!
"✨good morniiiing!!✨ I'm a little bit stressed" my thoughts every morning
where are you selling your chlothes? Cuz I definitely want to buy them!
Omg keep the vest! I have also been living in oversized men's button downs this summer in Texas. Any time I spot a tommy hilfiger or ralph lauren I'm tempted to grab it. You are so relatable I feel like I discovered a long distance pal 🙂
also that loft is sick with the exposed walls
Where did you get the chunky white boots. I need 3 pairs 😭
Books And Bao is a youtuber with good recs for modern books
Big Swiss is perfection!
What beauty is there in seeing buildings?😅cold gray
Another NYC tip: there are Goodwill bins in Long Island City (Queens), which is a short G train ride from Brooklyn.
Ok upon closer inspection, if it took you 15 minutes to bike there, I think you might have been in Queens, not New Jersey. Hahaha
If you liked My Year of Rest and Relaxation, try Boy Parts by Eliza Clark! Brilliant book
Highly recommend ShaelinWrites videos on what she’s read lately! She’s also on goodreads and I think will definitely have more books up your alley.
Can I ask which camera you use? ❤️ The photography is amazing
Me watching from Greece 🥰
what mattress do you have?
I hope you figure out your bank/credit thing out and get a solid living situation soon soon. Silly idea, once you are settled into a secure apartment lease and not as stressed out would you be willing to showcase Greek vegetarian/vegan traditional foods? I hope you enjoy the book you are reading. Warm regards from the Seattle area! ~Julie
Good Morning Day 🥰❤️
The dye will stick to itself instead of getting on other things
I wish I could sell my clothes but one of the Plato’s closet locations near me stopped buying clothes due to a shortage in employees
You should keep the white dress and get it tailored... it will cost you but you've gotta keep it!
❤❤
I’m glad Girls is getting its due again. I always hated how Lena got such a bad rap in the years since its release.
💗💗
❤❤❤❤❤
im from nj, how about you can stay at my old place i used to live and ill live in greece, a house swap!
Ur my new emma chamberlain

I want the 3D dress. Don't have Instagram.
Talking about protagonists that are a hot mess, I am reading now Pretend I'm dead also from Jen Beagin and I think you would like it too.
I must be a feral trash goblin because I don’t immediately wash clothes I thrift 😂 (though I probably should bc I just bought a pair of jeans from goodwill that someone had worn without underwear 🤢)
Omg girl ☠️
@@Katy_crawford I definitely washed those before wearing them!! Lol
you kinda talk like Diane Nguyen from Bojack Horseman
Sale what you don't want on Depop Kristen
Just wanted to say the vest looks great! All the thrifted clothes do, great shopping
