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 💜
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!
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.
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!
I moved from ATL to Philly in June 2022. It’s been over 2 years now. I still feel the homesickness though some days, especially this past week or so. Moving is definitely hard
I can totally relate . The first i can say was definitely hard especially around major events and holidays . Once i started to meet people and step outside my house is when i started to like it here
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?
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 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
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
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 😊
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.
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 😭
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hey girl!!! Thanks so much for watching! And i totally agree with the change of scenery. I would definitely check out uptown, dilworth, southend and university city
girl… I’m wanting to move out of my hometown so bad. I have a podcast and want to have a TH-cam 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!
In uptown, noda and southend there is a lightrail thats is pretty good. Uber is pretty affordable out here as well. Uptown Charlotte is walkable, other than that no.
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 would definitely say save up 4-6 months of living expenses just for the what if’s ya know. But im also pro just going for it 🥰. Start applying for those new jobs in ur new city. You got this girl ❤️
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?
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 💜
Thank you girl! ❤️❤️

Thats super exciting! Best of luck to you! 😊😊😊
Howve you been doing??😊

@@Indy_Alexis Yeap.. I’m moving home because I feel really alone.
Im leaving CT and going to Mocksville NC . Pretty cool I landed on this vid, and you went to NC as well.

Aww this makes me happy! Its definitely an adjustment but its so necessary. Good luck in Philly 🥰
I hate Philadelphia so much. I can't wait to move out of Filthadelphia.
I moved from ATL to Philly in 2022. How’s it been going for you??

Yeah DC is a great city as well. The whole DMV is. Its just a tad bit expensive
I am preparing to move out of state. Thank you for the video! I definitely will be documenting my journey.
Definitely!!!

I moved from Ohio to Florida and it was the best decision I made for myself
Im glad to hear that! 😊
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
Charlotte is great/so much fun!! Your gonna have a great experience

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.
This is great! I never thought of Charlotte, but I'm moving from Jersey down there! Nervous, but excited!
Its a great city for young professionals!!
@@Indy_Alexis Everyone keeps saying that. Excited. I can't seem to find jobs in the marketing/media industry though.
You have checked all the boxes on my checklist 👍🏾 ✔️
You look so pretty! Great advice ☺️
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I totally enjoyed your video, I liked it, and I'm happy to share it on our Facebook page and group. :)

I haven’t had any issues at all whether it be staff, parking or security.

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. 🫶🏼🤍✨

Omg, I’m planning on moving from NY to Charlotte as well! 😢
Omg what part??
Who does your hair in CLT? Hair care series featuring Charlotte salon and stores ? 🙋🏾♀️
Thats a good idea!! I definitely will
girl… I’m wanting to move out of my hometown so bad. I have a podcast and want to have a TH-cam 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 get these questions all the time, i most definitely will! 😊
Friends are overrated… show me the 💰 💴
Scariest part of moving somewhere new, is job search if you don’t have one lined up!!
Job searching is definitely difficult!
I really enjoyed this video!
Thanks girl!! ❤️
@@Indy_Alexis you’re welcome!
Thanks for the video
I see you Glowing ✨; Keep it up Queen Looking very natural a Pure 💐 🤗
How is public transit? , bc I don’t have a car nor do I know how to drive , is Charlotte walkable ? Would you recommend?
In uptown, noda and southend there is a lightrail thats is pretty good. Uber is pretty affordable out here as well. Uptown Charlotte is walkable, other than that no.
First One 💯
Love your video. My question is, how much money would you say is a good amount to have in saving before you move?
Thanks!! 😊 I would say 6 months of rent
I’m moving to Charlotte let’s connect
