You are the community I could only dream of 🙏 Guys, you motivate me so much, and I promise that there will be a lot of cool videos soon (maybe not so often, but I will definitely try to improve the quality) Thank you SO much for all your donations - thanks to them I will be able to arrange my life in New York and rent a room somewhere. I honestly don't know what I would do without you 🤗I promise not to disappoint you in the future! Much love, Dari xx

And on top of that your hard work and good luck gave you a chance to fulfill a life-changing dream of post graduate education in the US! Wow!! I have so little money to spare, but i will respond to your heartfelt plea to your fundraiser. I wish the best for you and am always rooting for you.

@@DariStep I live in New York also on the west side of Manhattan. Apartments are expensive, with deposits usually required. Brokers might help with this. Look at Brooklyn and Queens boroughs for reasonable rents and use the subway. Your best deal might be the school dormitory with shared spaces. Roommates sharing an apartment may present issues, you might already be aware of this. Beware of scams, deals too good to be true, etc. Good luck and congratulations.

My anthropology teacher encouraged us before visiting other cultures to jot down our conceived ideas of what a culture will be like. Then when arriving to note all of the differences, similarities, and new discoveries. Compare your notes with what you thought the culture would be. This just helps to broaden your awareness of places and people you encounter on your travels, and of course such awareness provides content for your channel. Good luck with your studies!
