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!

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!

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.

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 😊

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.

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?

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.

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.
