    I proposed my girlfriend on the central park. We were dating for the last 7 years. And we used to vibe and blend so much before we got into relationship. And then every day was so loved and not lonely for me. And we used to push ourselves so much for our dreams and goals. So blessed to have veronica❤ in my life and to live in NYC. And we're getting married in two months! Yayy!!

    “New York is the ultimate office and everywhere else is vacation” wow this is so accurate. Moving to FL has been such a hard adjustment because in the back of my mind it feels like I’m always on vacation and I miss the work ethic, inspiration and creativity I had in NYC!!

    NY being the ultimate office and everything else feeling like vacation is so true. I do feel like everyday in NYC is work or working on something. In the future I would like to live somewhere else and make NYC my vacation spot.
    Also everywhere else does seem so much more affordable than NYC. It can be tiring to maintain that.
    Lastly every place else does seem a little more down tempo which is a good and bad thing.

      Ooh, this is what I'm trying to show. Really, just about anywhere if you're willing to invest the time, but I would recommend Utah for nature or south Louisiana (my home region) for culture. Just be aware that the cheaper regions usually either have a lot of crime or some cultural weirdness you'd need to get past if you're not from the U.S.

    I love the way you show this city! I feel like recently, everyone has been dumping on NYC with all of the increasing crimes and negatives about living here etc. But after visiting this city many times throughout the years and finally living here for almost a full year now, every time I actually get out of the house and explore and do what I came here for, I'm reminded of why this place is so beautiful... even the "Ugly" parts/aspects have a certain beauty to them in a way. This city itself is a Main Character, and when I say city, I mean ALL of the Boroughs.

    Hi Brett, We are now in NYC but we don’t feel safe here. You don’t mention it in your video. So far we haven’t personally met anyone who would threaten us yet, but there is many people who are on serious drugs or out of reality. You don’t know what to expect from them. But on the other side New York is beautiful, so much historical buildings. Cool places, Central park is unbelievable huge and best park ever. But it’s really expensive on food. We are from Switzerland which is also expensive country(as you well know) but salary is higher than NYC. Almost everyone in subway feels depresed and in a bad mood. But on the other hand you will also meet people here who can compliment your appearance this i haven’t seen in Europe. If you have until Friday time for small talk somewhere in NY. We would be happy to meet you.

    I lived in Manhattan (East Village) for two years during the mid 1990s. Rents were exorbitant back then (I know, it's worse now) and decent jobs were highly, highly competitive; scores of great applicants for a single position. It was a fun city, but I'm glad I'm in the Midwest now. I just wasn't smart enough or good enough to make it in Manhattan, I readily admit that. I tried hard though. Acceptance.
