My Wild NYC Apartment Hunting Experience Pt.2

In part two of My Wild NYC Apartment Hunting Experience, I get into the real chaos of trying to find my own apartment in New York City with only a couple weeks left before I had to move.

I’m talking StreetEasy, Zillow, messaging 30 to 40 realtors, running to showings in between work calls, taking trains, bikes, Ubers I barely had the money for, standing in lines with 60 people, getting denied from spots I thought were mine, and still refusing to give up.

This episode is about more than apartment hunting. It’s about survival mode, pride, family support, betting on yourself, saying no to a bad deal, trusting your gut, and finally locking in my first apartment on my own in New York City two days before I had to move.

And once I got that apartment, it became bigger than just a place to live. It became proof that I could get out of my comfort zone, push through the pressure, and build a life that my younger self would be proud of
