I moved from Cali to Moscow. Best decision in my life. Now I run a vodka company.

Joined the military after living in Ohio all my life. Been to Korea and now in Europe. Hardest part was feeling forgotten for me.

Years ago

I moved from L.A. to Cleveland for about a month cause family lives out there and I moved back with the quickness

Even though it was cheaper, the night life is dead in that city and man 9 out of 10 sisters had kids and the city is hopeless for quality blacks

I still go out there to see fam, but the Midwest isn't me..

Now my family in New Orleans on the other hand is lit and black women in the south are on a whole another level... treated me like a king...
you just described every city in the rust belt.

Moved from Chicago to NY almost 5 years ago (5 years in April:whew:). Waited until my lease was up, quit my job, packed up my clothes and drove to NY. Been here ever since.

Although after my recent trip to Japan, I wouldn't mind spending at least 6 months out there.

I moved 3 weeks ago from Richmond, Virginia to Salem, Oregon. I am quitting my job that I just started later on today. Long story short, I didn't thoroughly vet this organization. They processes are backwards, technology ancient, and I believe 1 of my co workers is racist. 2 of my co workers are my nightly supervisors, which I was just made aware today when I told my real boss that one of my co workers told me I'm on my phone too much. I literally just got off the phone with wells fargo and was approved for a $8000 loan. Going to the bank in about 10 minutes to sign the documents and get the money right now. I need cash reserves (probably won't spend the money, but I need it to hold me over until I find something else). I have never quit a job this quickly as an adult, but the conditions at the job make me feel very threatened. I get the sense that I will end up going off on someone and getting fired. It's that bad. Other than that I'm enjoying spending time with my girl here in Oregon. It's a beautiful state. Lots of racists here though, which I had no clue about.
Oh that's why u been ghost in the ring, lately?

At 23, a year after graduating college, I moved from Miami to Little Rock, Arkansas for a career opportunity that I couldn't say no to. I am not a very emotional person so I tend to take things as they come. The hardest adjustment was going from a big city to a small city. It was depressing at times but I hit the gym a lot and played soccer a lot.

A year and a half after that I moved to Atlanta via a job transfer knowing nobody and it was the best move in life. I love it here!!

How did you make new friends?

I’ve been contemplating moving to NY for years, but I haven’t pulled the trigger because of my very small immediate family. I wholeheartedly believe that my quality of life will be instantly better then

I want to move from NY to Medellin or Cali Colombia.
Been in the northeast all through my life.

Lived in Baltimore for school.
Baltimore has a lot of underrated seafood spots especially near the Inner Harbor.
John Hopkins have jobs lined up for healthcare industry; housing potential for real estate; yeah there’s crime mainly near West Baltimore, East Baltimore, and surround parts past downtown, the city has a lot of tourist value. Maryland is a beautiful state, the East coast version of Cali.

Anyone ever move for a side grade sort of position? How you deal with that? I see an opportunity to move for at best a side grade in terms of pay but its in a city that I think I would rather live in.
