@Maya - thank you for the supportive words! And yes, one thing is for sure, I'm not going to be scared of much after this move :-)

@Danielle Wilson - Thank you, Danielle!! It's so great to hear that other people have managed to do something similar and thrived as a result of the experience! And well done on your apartment, the East Village is sensational!!

Hi,

I stumbled upon your blog when you commented on Joanna Goddard's blog (which I love!!!). I wanted to comment because I just moved to New York City from Canada a month ago. I came here with no job and no place to stay. It was the scariest, most exciting month of my life. I'm moving into my new apartment in the East Village on Saturday and I couldn't be happier!

I wish you lots of luck with this and I know that your adventure will be as amazing as mine has been so far.

It's very brave of you. And I don't think ...

It's very brave of you. And I don't think one should stay put just because their life is good. This can also be seen as inert. I kinda have a feeling everyone should experience NYC at least once in their life, it's on my list as well: It is going to make us better people. :-P

@Blithely Unaware - haha I think you and Hamish are going to have a pretty fabulous adventure over the next few months, right here in Melbourne!!

@Akisa - I know, SO FAST!! And I promise to keep blogging, it was only due to crazy work stuff that I've not really had a moment spare over the last few months.

@Kimberley - thank you my dear! I have a good feeling it's all going to come together somehow... :-)

@CakeMistress - Thank you! I did the same move almost ten years ago! Melbourne is an awesome city, and you'll keep discovering fabulous things for a long while yet! And a decent "leap of faith" kind of makes you feel ALIVE as well.

Best of luck with the move. I know that frightenin...

Best of luck with the move. I know that frightening feeling of wondering if it's all a mistake when I dumped a pretty a-ok life and moved from Perth to Melbourne, which is probably analogous to moving from Melbourne to New York in the excitement stakes :p
No doubt, it's scary and it's hard and there's days where you wonder what in the frikkin heck you've done. But I can safely say 2 1/2 years later, that it's the best leap of faith I've ever taken, and I trust that you'll feel the same too. x

I don't think you're asking too much of the universe, you're grateful for what you have but have a need to explore other avenues.

I think it will all fall into place, you're doing a brave thing and you've thought long and hard about it. We're all wishing you the best of luck and hope to hear lots of magnificent NYC adventures on this blog! x

I am SO jelly that you are going to NYC.

Good luck! Can't wait to see your blog posts from there!!!
