    I moved to Japan at 25 and I gotta say it was the best thing that ever happened to me. People here are so fashionable and I’m always pushing myself to be the best me I can be! Also, public transit is some of the best in the world and I don’t think I can ever go back to a country that’s not convenient for people that don’t have cars.

    I'm 36 now, almost 37, and more or less lived in NYC about 15 years ago during an LDR. I would NEVER live there now but those times hold a special place in my heart. Now is really the time to go for it -- no matter what, you won't regret it.

    Being as young as you, I have the same mentality of not missing out or regretting. So next year I will be working at an embassy in South Korea as I fell in love with the country when I was there as an exchange student. Currently finishing up my master's and hopefully I am able to network in Seoul and stay there for an extended period of time! :)

    As a foreigner from Europe I would say when I visited New York, although the state of Covid-19 being rather severe at the time, in December 2021 I felt extremely captivated by the vibe and overall sense of culture in the city. Has to have been the best week of my entire year. Sidenote: honestly suprised that when your girlfriend mentioned the smells of NYC she didn't mention the almost constant presence of weed smell or whatever - only unpleasant side to my visit

    • @jacob.carstens
      @jacob.carstens 10 місяців тому +2

      I agree that the smell of weed isn't as bad as the smell of trash. Although I don't believe that ANY city smells of weed in this day and age, haven't personally ever visited one myself where the stench of weed was as prominent as it was in NYC, and I have been privileged enough to have visited quite a few (mostly European though)

    Drew! I think I would really dig a "What are you wearing" style video of you with random people you find interesting in NYC, but definitely NOT brand focused. Like general style, lifestyle focused. Asking about what interests people, what do they look for when putting on an outfit, what feelings they try to evoke, some more inspiring and interesting stuff instead of "this is dior uhhh this is vintage this is thrifted this is whatever"

    Congrats Drew! I'm jealous as hell back here in Denver, those bagels and pizza look fire! You nailed Denver's drivers. It's cutthroat out there, and the city doesn't do too much to make being a stupid driver difficult. I'm looking forward to your content out there, specifically your idea of more documentary-style dives into different scenes of nyc. It would be sweet if each video, or series of videos, focused on particular subcultures and the people, places, businesses, and things connected to it. Good luck, and congrats on your shoot/project!

    Hey Drew,
    I'm from the city and I watch your videos pretty often! I'm 25 years old too and I gotta say it takes a lot of guts to move to a brand new city especially one like this but that's amazing! I left the city for college but moved back last year to be closer to family. I just recently moved out and now I feel kind of like an outsider which is a strange feeling. I felt similar in that I wanted to move to LA but I ultimately decided against it as I didn't like the lack of public transportation (although I can drive and have my license) and I didn't like how spread out it was. Also, I visited LA twice and I lowkey felt like it wasn't all that it was hyped up to be. But kudos to you man, hopefully I see you in passing!

Really inspiring to see your growth and progress over the past few years. Easy to forget sometimes that if you never make that first video you’ll never make your 500th, and you have to take chances to learn things about yourself. Keep up the great content, Drew! Gotta vlog when you try Di Fara Pizza 👀. #pvv would also be cool to see you explore different fashion subcultures and their histories in the city.
