Hi Bethany, i'm a true native New Yorker, born and raised in NYC. This is great advice you're giving to those considering, or moving to NYC. Especially about finding a pretty safe neighborhood to move too. One has to really do their research when it come to that!!!

I'm not planning to move to new york but this was so interesting, I especially liked the tip about writing down your values and what you don't want to change about yourself.

This is excellent advice, especially remembering your morals you don't want to change! And keeping a journal!

I am trying to move to new york from Texas, but money is the biggest issue. have about $3000 saved up, but need about $3000 more just to be safe. Love the advice

LOL I love the awkward department store/elevator music for each subject pause. Super cute haha

When you said you wanted to keep a clean mouth I first thought you wanted to make sure you didn't start skipping brushing your teeth lol

As someone who is considering a move to NYC, this video definitely brought light to the things that I didn't even think about. It was very informative and helpful, so just wanted to say a quick thank you! :))

not being able to read your own handwriting.....my life.

I am getting ready to move to NYC in April/May so I've been watching a lot of moving to nyc videos...this was very informative and will add ya on soc.media

This was super helpful! I really respect you after listening to this video. I’m moving to nyc next month and I’m super excited!

love your tips but I was hoping the video was more about NYC.

I really want to move to New York but I feel like it's more dauntingly as I live in the UK and have never lived in America

I'm so grateful for this series you're doing! I'm planning on movie out to New York sometime next year and I'm really nervous about it. This was all fantastic advice! x

WHOa When I got to 6:35 and you mentioned your faith I was like yessssssss!!! I stumbled upon your video just for advice and didn't even expect that. So awesome. Sending you love! Hope NYC is treating you well and you are pursuing your purpose sis!

Cussing makes me sound uneducated? Cool

I think I could cry.. I have been searching for another Young Christian who's moved to New York.. I'm 18 and god has called me to move to New York... you are phenomenal.. I love how strong you are, especially when you have no one to be accountable to, I've subscribed and I'd love to maybe get to know you more! It'd be great to have a Christian friend when I land in NYC next year!!

I wanna live in New York so bad hopefully it will come true

Your hair looks amazing, amazing, AMAZING.

Moving to New York in 2020 plenty of time

I'm loving the hair! Including the side bangs! ✂️💁🏽

I love your NYC videos ! I also love that you are classy ! Your spirit is amazing!

this is so freaking relevant! thanks for making this :)

I’m 15 and already saving for an apartment (1200 saved) :) because the plan is New York I absolutely love it and I have been going every year for about 4 or 5 years so, this is really helpful to plan ahead

Thank you for making these videos! My husband and I are from Texas but we feel like God may be moving us to New York in the future. NEVER thought I would be saying that! These videos give such a great place to start for someone who has no idea!

I'm so proud of Audrey with the graphics! They are fun, AMAZING & Unique! I'll have to tell grandma that's she's drawing again! 🖋🖍✒️🖌💗

Hi Bethany! My name is William, and I'm a 14 year old freshmen boy living in Great Falls, Montana, USA. Earlier this month, I went on a WorldStrides trip to DC and NYC. We were in DC for 4 1/2 days, and NYC for 2 1/2 days. Most of the time we spent in NYC was in Manhattan, which I will get to later. Prior to this trip, I haven't gone on a vacation in almost a decade. Here in middle of nowhere, Montana, there isn't much here (especially considering I've spent all 14 years of life here). Those 2 1/2 days in NYC changed my POV on everything. I graduate High School in June 2022, and I already have my planned departure set November 1st, 2022 (day after my dads birthday). Obviously, that date isnt confirmed being this far in advance, but let's pray 😁. Obviously, I'm sure you've noticed that I'm not going to college. My plan is to spend a year (or 2... or 10) in NYC, and join the United States Marines. That could change if I succeed in NYC. Obviously, unless I was a spoiled white kid, which I'm not, a high school graduate like me cannot afford Manhattan. I've been thinking that I want to move to the bronx, which is just north of Manhattan. I remember when we had just flown out of NYC, en Route to Montana, I remember looking out the window and seeing the Manhattan skyline, thinking in my head: "I'll be back." Long story short, I'm a 14 year old freshmen who wants to move to the Bronx when I graduate HS. I'm spending these 4 years of freedom (lol) planning everything. When I land in NYC, I'm hoping to already have an appartment and a few job interviews scheduled. These next 4 years I will spend saving money and planning. When I move, I plan on being a cheapo, and just bringing basics. I plan on bringing a few pairs of clothes (some for leisure, some for work) , a pan for cooking, and maybe a laptop. I will definitely be bringing a notebook, like yours in the video. Can you think of anything else? Thanks! -Will

I totally understand and respect the non-negotiables list, but I also think it could be a little restrictive of growth depending on how you do it. Like, for example, I don't smoke, have never smoked and don't really ever want to! So I guess that could be something that was on my list. But other than that one thing, I think I would want to go into a new experience holding onto my principles, but not completely dedicated to them not changing, because I could learn new things that change my perspective and make me change my mind. I just think growth is so important and it's not totally necessary to hold yourself to a past version of yourself, especially if it's not damaging to your health. I totally respect you for not cussing, for example, and I'm sure you have your own reasons and that's the right thing for you. But just as an example, I used to feel the same way, I was probably the very last person that I knew that started cussing, but now my perspective is different and I do it all the time. And I don't think that necessarily means that I've corrupted the past version of myself as that I've grown and changed, and it hasn't damaged my health! I can tell you that just for me, the reason I cuss now is that I think it's healthy for me to try not to take life too seriously (because I naturally do, and am big on morals and principles etc) and it's one way for me to express humour and lightheartedness. Again, wanna reiterate that I'm not criticising you because I know it's your prerogative and I respect that! Just sharing my opinion given that this is about advice for going into new experiences :)

This video is very helpful! It's both realistic and sentimental at the same time ☺️ loved the tips!! Thank you Beth!

Love this. “Accountability”. Awesome. From Tulsa myself, thinking of relocating to NYC. Great advice. Thanks!!

We scoured the internet for "Moving to NYC videos!" OH my goodness! 💻📽✈️🗽

That was exceptionally informative and well done. Great graphics 😲

It’s always been I dream of mine to go to New York and pursue journalism. I love watching these videos and they give me hope!!

I like the tip about making a non-neigotiable list! That’s awesome! I’m moving to nyc this August.

I've never seen one of your videos before this one and I automatically had to subscribe. I'm from Oklahoma and when I'm old enough and have the money I'm definitely moving to New York. I'm in love with the idea of it so I like to watch videos and do research on it all the time (I really want to be prepared for when I finally go). When I clicked into this video and saw all of the others to the side involving New York (that were also by you) I decided I had to watch all of your videos religiously. THANK YOU!!!

I can't believe I forgot about the 📓 journal! Brilliant 💡 idea!

I’m moving there in 3 months from England. Found this useful!

Ok, I'm sorry, but, 'sound like you are educated'. Oh my goodness this is such an offensive thing to say, swearing isn't the sign of a limited vocabulary or of being educated at a low standard, these words ( when used correctly at the right time and place ) help put some emphasis in a situation, if you are in a bit of a sticky situation with someone and are having an argument these words can make the said person realize that this is the last straw. Stephen Fry, a great mind has talked about this topic and agrees with me, swear words or cuss words as you call them, are not a sign of a person's background or how they want to be seen, but a sign of the persons meaning.

I just came back few days ago from NYC from the 4th time visiting this amazing city and I can't stop falling in love more and more! My dream was always to move there and every time I come back I can't stop myself from being depressed that I can be there and live there now! Hopefully within a year I'll do it finally and move to my fav city ever. I'm not American so it won't be easy but I know that I'll do it. Thank you so much for the tips they were super helpful! I wish you all the best and hopefully see you soon in NYC :)

Holy the Moly the art work!🥇🖼🖌🖍💕love love love it!!

You are so awesome! I absolutely lovee these videos and have had a serious consideration to move over to New York. Hope you've been enjoying your time! I just stumbled across your channel and I love it!

I visited New York last week but I was only there for like 2 hours. The time I was there though it was beautiful I went through downtown ny and it was soooo packed holy crap talk about anxiety when driving. I was also in New Rochelle and that place was sooo nice I saw some pretty nice neighborhoods and beautiful houses. People know how to dress in New York it's pretty awesome. Wish I would have spent more time there, don't know if I'd live there though 🤔

New York here I come!!

How crazy! I'm over here researching and planning on moving to NYC after I graduate this spring and then you said "before I moved from Oklahoma" small world.

I’m preparing to move to NY. This was very helpful!

Hello, so I am not from America but I’m thinking of trying to move to New York in order to get into book publishing. I’m also a Christian so I’m definitely still praying to find out what God wants 🙏🏻 thank you for your video though - I wanted to know if you had any advice for Christians specifically who are thinking of moving to NY ♡ God bless you 🌸

This is a great transitional video. So true...every word.

Great tips there bethany! Very informative and well thought content, especially since it was from a first-person point of view. :)

your videos are super helpful! love them

I live in the Bronx and i used to not feel safe but then i learned mma and i carry a pocket knife and i wait till someone roll on me

THANK YOU! I LOVE THE COMMENTS ON "NON-NEGOTIABLES"! VERY SOBERING…THE WORLD AND THE CULTURE HAVE THEIR "STANDARDS"…AND I HAVE MINE. THIS IS QUITE DIDACTIC AND CAUTIONARY…KNOWING WHAT AND WHO FITS IN MY LIFE…AND WHAT AND WHO DOES NOT FIT IN MY LIFE…EVER. VIRTUE, HONOR, PEACE…PURITY OF CONSCIENCE AND PURITY OF MIND IS REAL WEALTH. I FOUND THAT TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART FOR ME IN THIS GOLD MINE OF ADVICE. BROAD IS THE WAY THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION. WOW! THANK YOU.

Very real and helpful video.. hoping to move to new york one day.

I would move to New Jersey or the surrounding states so i can be comfortable .

Hi! How have you found your nanny jobs in NYC? Agency, online, word of mouth? Thanks!
