    I packed up and moved to Houston July 2019 from St.Louis Mo and I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made. I had no family here or job just took a leap of faith.For some reason Houston just feels right to me. Glad to see others who feel the same!

    I lived in Boston for residency and you summed it up perfectly. I recommend that every young person move at least once. It opens you up to all kinds of great opportunities and friendships you might not otherwise have.

    It looks like we moved to Houston for the exact same reasons. I’m from a smaller town (Panama City, Florida) & it’s pretty much a retirement home in the form of a city lol . Houston is much more diverse with more things for people in my age group (30-35) to do. Awesome video ! 💛

    I lived in Houston for about 8 years. I’m CA born and raised and wanted to experience living in a different state. It was a good experience. I had a beautiful home, a decent job and met some awesome people who I now call my forever friends! I got homesick after a while and couldn’t convince any of my immediate family to move lol. So I eventually came back to Cali but now since I’m getting older and CA is just ridiculous with the cost of living I am thinking of leaving again in the near future. Thanks for sharing your story and I wish you continued success and many more blessings to come❤️

    I moved to Texas in July 2019 from NewJersey and it was the best decision I made. I had a hard time deciding which city to live in- Houston, Austin, or Dallas. I visited all 3 cities and looked at various areas but ultimately decided on Dallas. I work remote which made the move easier and took a full year to prepare for the move. The cost of living and career opportunities (Im in banking) seemed the best for me in Dallas. Im just afraid of the hurricanes and floods in Houston which is what deterred me from moving there. Welcome to Texas!

    Syndie thank you for opening up and being vulnerable and sharing with us. Girl I live in Jamaica and boy I feel like I want to migrate to either Canada or USA. I feel like I need a change but it is hard because one I dont have much savings and too the fear. The fear of experiencing another countries culture and not liking it etc Plus your girl is married. But listening to you in this video is really giving me strength. Well let's see what this year holds.

    • @BeautifullySyndie

    I really enjoyed this video. I came across your channel 3 days ago and I’ve been binge watching lol. I feel like I know you 🥴 Now, girl Dallas is not a small city. I live in the suburbs and go to the city all time and it is fun. I can totally see you living in uptown. It’s like an Instagram aesthetic. We have so many coffee shops , lounges , bars , great shopping malls ( Northpark + Galleria ) , it’s diverse and it’s chill. The weather is NOTHING like houston. I hate the heat and in Dallas ( yes, the weather is hella unpredictable ) but it’s really cool and the weather doesn’t go over 100 lol. The apartments here are pretty affordable but I see it rising because of all the people moving here from California 😒 lol but you should definitely visit Dallas. You’ve always got a friend here 🤠 👋🏾🤎

    Great interview 👍 I love that you went for it by moving and remember you can always visit your family and friends 😊 and make some content building memories and you can always go back and watch those videos. I don't see my family everyday and we live in the same city. How we combat that is we created a family group in duo were we can see each other and chat you all will have to download duo to your phones and when you call the family group anyone in the family group can join. See each other and catchup on or checking with each other. We create about 4 different family groups too I love it that is one way I survive. We also have different family text groups with different family members 🙄 so try these things if you ever get bored. Keep pushing through you will be alright 👍.

There’s more I can add to the comment but I’ll refrain; just know moving to Houston was a better move. Keep in mind; they will try to go up on your rent when it’s time to renew so be prepared.
