Moving can be stressful af. It is NOT an easy task- whether you do it alone or solo. New people, new streets, new weather conditions, new accents, etc. There is so much newness and it can be overwhelming.
I recently have been out and about exploring Dallas, Texas and have been learning a lot of new things and meeting a lot of new people quite rapidly.
There is SO much to do- it’s honestly like a high for me… traveling and exploring uncharted territory.
Making memories, hugging strangers and having FUN. This is my hobby.
Aside from the fun and games that exploration can bring- moving can be so stressful it almost seems to override the fun moments… (but only for a SPLIT f*cking second). And then I come back to reality when I get a text from someone I met the day before at a coffee shop who’s an amazzzing photographer or I get a reminder about an invite to a trendy rooftop pool party over the weekend.
There are highs and lows to moving and exploring new places, but I’m here to make life a little easier for ya.
Here are 14 tips that I have used personally when I move to a new city or I’m traveling around and making moves.
Traveling + Moving can be SUPER stressful, so these are things I do and have done over and over again and they work.
