Big City, Big Changes
Leaving a small town behind in favor of big city life is an amazing and exciting experience, but Shleppers understands that for first-timers, heading to the city can be nerve-wracking as well. Having to experience life in a place that you’ve never been before is a huge change that can be scary but don’t worry, Shleppers is here to help! As NYC moving professionals, here are some of our favorite tips for moving to a big city:
1. Do your homework. If you’ve never been to a big city before or the city you plan to move to is far away from your home state, be sure to do some research beforehand. It’s important to know the average costs of things like rent, utilities and groceries so that you can prepare to adjust your budget accordingly. Looking into the weather in the region you’re moving to can help you prepare to pack the right type of clothing or build a clothing shopping list if need be. It can also be helpful to investigate employment opportunities around the area you plan to move to if you’re heading to the city without a job lined up.
2. Don’t forget about public transportation. Keep in mind that big cities are often not very car friendly. With constant heavy traffic, frequent traffic jams, and road-raging drivers, the driving situation in any big city is hectic and stressful, to say the least. Don’t be intimidated by the public transportation systems offered in big cities! They may seem stressful or complicated at first, but once you catch on, what once seemed like a hurdle to jump will seem like a breeze. Big cities often have a network of bike lanes, so feel free to bring your bicycle along to make going short distances even easier!
3. Take it all in. There’s a reason so many people dream of moving to a big city. For some, they value the independence they can have in a place where no one knows who they are while others love the endless amounts of new people to meet and new things to experience. Whatever your reason for taking on a move to a big city, make the best of your city experience because there are truly things to do and see for every type of person.
