It’s always been my dream to live in Manhattan. I’m taking real steps to get it done now.

The upbeat music in the stress just makes it sound like you like stress.😂 Makes me want to approach my own stress differently.

I also noticed that the only convincing reason for New York was the bragging rights and lifestyle. guess for me that would require contrasting with where you lived before.

I will note however, how easy you described the process of moving. Not the effort and patience, but just the conceptualisation of the tools necessary. made it sound like you could have easily applied all this effort on moving to actual Europe.

I'd like to visit, just to have photos of me in famous locations, so i can tell my grandkids i was in the movie, or the event happened in real life. 😂

Lived in NYC on a budget for 6 years. 3 of them in Manhattan up in Washington Heights. Ultimately despite being where I wanted to live since I was young the COL is too expensive if you're not making six figures... like a lot of North American cities now. I'm now planning on leaving the US and thinking of moving to Spain (how I discovered your channel btw)

Dude! Keep grinding 😉 the NY life! I used to live there over at Astoria, awesome years but intense, i watched your videos and I was very curious about why an American guy speaks Spanish so well! It's got to be a big change to go from a little Spanish city to thebbig apple!
