Hi WaskiSquirrel. Thank you for your comment. I've met some great friends since I've moved here. That has been quite helpful to me while living far away from home.

lovefunbeer Thank you so much! It is definitely a leap of faith to move to a small town from a big city. I'm glad I was able to help you by sharing my experience. Let me know if you have any questions.

Aaron Coats same here!!! Moving out of Houston

Hi Amber! Thank you for your comment! I've enjoyed myself living here. It's been a nice transition and the summers are great! I agree -- the movie Fargo doesn't do the city justice!

would like more where nd can serve

Dana Sims how does ND relate in terms to black and brown people?

Amber Schuchard I'm trying to move to Fargo ND next year for hopes to find a job and get settled

I'm a little nervous because I will be joining the move shortly, my husband has landed a job out there and will get me and our sons in a couple of months, I'm glad to see some color 😊 but overall you're video makes it a bit better. From Southern CA.

Kazia Thornhill thank you for the information. That's great to hear about North Dakota. I agree that there is a strong economy here. The state has experienced some cuts in jobs as well but I think overall ND has a good job market.

geraldojayster geraldojayster Hi! Thank you for your comments. There are mostly small towns in North Dakota. I find it's helpful to stay goal oriented while living here because the quietness can get to be a bit much at times.

I'm sure China would be the polar opposite of North Dakota (it's very noisy there). Maybe North Dakota would be a great place to get my grove back.. help me focus.

Yes, I think living here has helped me focus.

Thank you!

@lion heart did you leave yet?? I'm from grand rapids mi

In ND you don't have to worry about that! I've been living here for 10 years!

Lol we don’t have something call racism here as long as you don’t look for trouble no one is going to bother you in anyway!

I lived in minot nd for 2 years it was great thinking about moving back..I jus hated that they didnt have childcare..if they get more childcare that would b great but other than that its a great place! Never ran into any racism at all

Gina Aladin-Bernadeau Hi Gina! I’ve not experienced racism myself. However, if you’re not from the area it may take some time for people to get to know you but it may not. I’d say find a church or civic organization and be consistent in attending and participating and getting to know people that way.

If your looking to move come to the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta Canada there is tons of jobs here. We about to be in the massive boom with lots of construction jobs. Our city is going to be get 1.2 million square feet facilty and they will be requiring 700 construction workers and once the Construction is complete there will be 450 full time jobs for Medical marijuana company that will be high paying jobs . We are also getting a Bitcoin Company here called Hut8 that will be high paying jobs as well. The city is in talks for a manufacturing plant and petrochemical plant. There new Hotels being built our mall is under a major Modernization, lots of retail shops opening up. There is lots of jobs in the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta Canada.

GloFreak Hi! Thank you for commenting. It natural to be nervous about moving to a different place. If it helps, where you’re moving to is about 25 miles away from Dickinson, ND, which has about 17,000 people and is a nice option if you want to go to a bigger city at times. I would say give yourself time to appreciate the good things about living in a small town because there are plenty. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Terk -- What's your purpose for moving? What are you looking for?

I heard the Job market there is good ..

TERK NATIONS it depends on the type of job you're looking for. I think you can make a good living working in North Dakota. Have you looked on indeed.com?

Don't do it it's boring and cold

Great video 👍👏👏👏 You're doing a fantastic job.

Amen, Marie Godbold.

Lejane Baker would love to see this question get answered

i actually went to grand forks this summer and visited medora with a friend....it felt weird in grand forks cause i didn't see too many black people but nonetheless....I was treated with respect. as far as love life...if i was to move there i don't see it happening lol

Lejane Baker ooh so ur saying dont go out there single

from my personal experience i wouldn't

Lejane Baker what if u have a few homies that stay out there Let me hear a deep honest answer please

George Voulgaridis sure George. Email me at dsims0509@gmail.com.

Hi jonesbunny! It's funny that you use the word decent because that's how I would the amount of Blacks/African-Americans that I've met in North Dakota. I've met at least 20-30 Blacks since moving here in March, 2015. That includes people originally from other countries as well. I would also say that I've met some nice non-Black people as well. It's been great getting to know a variety of people from various backgrounds.

Cookie Twister Hi Cookie Twister! That'd be an interesting move to hear about. Are you moving from a big city as well?

yes im moving from new york! we are moving this summer because my dad got a goog job but they have 450 people there i am very nervous about making freinds and fitting in they have 1 grocery store 1 hand me down cloths store 2 hardware stores a pool and 3 resturants none of which are chain resturants it is going to be a BIG change.

Thank you!

PENUS ANDCOCO Hi! Not sure what tips you may want but in general i would say be friendly towards people. I’ve found that when you’re not from the area you have to kind of win people over to like and trust you. It doesn’t mean kissing up or anything but just try to be consistently friendly or cordial. On the other hand, you may meet some people right away who are open to getting to know you. If you’re moving during the summer months be prepared for long days and nice weather. Hope that helps. You can ask specific questions or let me know the area to where you’ll be moving and I can possibly offer more detailed answers.

Layer clothes in winter

Keep blankets and shovels in your car and buy gloves called choppers

Lisa Wilson Hi Lisa. Winter here gets pretty cold. It is currently -12 at 10 o'clock at night. However, most places are well-heated so as long as you don't hang outside for too long you'll be fine. to Depending on where you're moving from, I'd say buy thermal underwear, warm boots, and a big coat and gloves, if you don't have any. I'll do a video that addresses some tips to making it through a ND winter.

Dana Sims Thank you for that quick response. My only other concern is if I should drive there or fly and rent me a car for getting around. Where I am coming from there is no snow...ever. i am just nervous and excited about th e weather.

It's cooled not to bad if you get used to it I guess?

+Dana Sims When does it start to warm up there and how warm does it get?

miah de Hi Miah, it will actually warm up to the 20s and 30s next week. I know that's still cold but compared to -6 it's going to feel pretty good. It may start to warm up around March but there may still be some cold days until April or May. Spring and summer here are beautiful though.

and whats even more interesting nobody thinks the town talking about them ,,,but they are

I love Bismarck! I was just there last weekend.

and how do you like it? i was hired for a job in bismark and wondering if moving from Los Angeles, CA is worth it

Did you end up moving? What profession? I'm from north CA

Get out of here with that bullshit

Chill

Hi Swaginican :) The population of North Dakota is between 2-3% Latino, depending on which source you check
