After we found our apartment in NYC we went back to Wisconsin and had about 3 weeks to pack and get back to New York. Unfortunately, neither Maz nor I were very proactive on this part. I realize moving is never easy, but PLAN AHEAD. We had already gotten rid of a lot of our stuff, but we still had a lot left to pack and take or get ready to store and still had to get it to NYC.

While Maz and I are by no means experts on how to move to New York, we have learned a few things already. So here are some tips for the pre-apartment search…
I started this post long ago…. as we have said we made it, but it has been crazy so we haven’t had time to write. But here is the post of our apartment search.
So Maz and I were in NYC last week hunting for apartment. After days of checking adds, calling, seeing places, and e-mailing people we finally found a place. I will admit that this week was probably one of the most stressful weeks I have ever had; surprisingly I only broke down in tears once. When we first arrived in NYC I was pretty confident about finding an apartment. I didn’t think it could be that hard. I figured if millions of other people had done it, so could we. (more…)
I got turned down for the job that I had the interview for. Oh well, I will keep trying. There are so many job opportunities out their I know something will have to turn up. I think that it will be much easier to find something once I am there. Now that I think about this whole moving to New York thing it’s kind of funny. Originally the plan was that I was going to find a job in New York that would help pay for relocation, then we decided that we could afford to relocate, but we would have to have a jobs set up before we moved. Now neither of those has happened and now I am just hoping that I will find something before we run out of money. Anyone know anybody that is hiring a sociologist????
Recently Maz and I have tried to get a hold of everyone we know that is in the NYC area. If you are planning on moving to another city DO THIS!!! While none of the people we messaged new of a huge, free apartment just waiting for us to move in to it, they did have some useful tips. (more…)
