    When I moved to nyc I booked an airbnb for 3 weeks and then that family basically took me in and now I have that room in Manhattan for 430$ a month. Its the luckiest thing ever! Networking is important, ask friends in the city if they or anyone they know has an open room, its always easier to get in if you know someone (I knew literally 0 people so I just had to go for it lol)

    Thank you for the tips. I am from Czech republic and I am currently studying in UK and want to move to New York after I finished it.
  • Glad you posted this video! I am (hopefully) moving to NYC early next year & am kind of nervous about finding a place to live. Will definitely be referring back to this video once I get closer to leaving

    NYC is the greatest city in the world, by any measure. It has always had a cultural and an emotional hold on me. My first visit there was a dream come true. Took my Korean wife there a couple years ago. She loved it. Seoul is a fabulous mega-city, too, but there's just something (many things!) special about New York. Not looking to move, but would love to spend more time there. Your tips on moving are good advise for moving to any city. Thanks for a fun and informative video. Happy Trails!

    Yes I agree, finding a roommate, especially sight-unseen, is for sure a case of trusting your intuition. I have done this before, not in NY, but still.. and had really good success when I listened to my gut. It is definitely a good idea to at least talk on the phone, if not Facetime, when agreeing to live with someone you don't know, because it gives you a better sense of who they are and if your personalities will mesh.
