Most people think that I want to be in walking distance of the pastries made by The Cake Boss... but I have a few more reasons why this is the place I chose to go!
After traveling abroad, I learned that there is more to the world than my town in Pennsylvania or my college campus in Baltimore. There are so many places to see and so many interesting people to meet and I really enjoyed learning a new place and culture for those four months in Ireland/Europe. I had decided that I wanted to see more and experience another city other than my native Philadelphia after college while I was still young enough to do so and did not have many responsibilities to hold me back.
Hoboken is such an amazing hub for 20-somethings and I know that I will meet tons of people who are enjoying this part of their life and will want to have the same experiences as I do. Living in such an up and coming city will allow me to experience so much without having to travel too far! So, it was almost not a question to me as to why I should move, but rather why not move!?
I approached my abroad trip with the intention of making everyday an amazing experience and I plan on doing the same while I am in Hoboken. I will take advantage of being so close to New York City and will make it a point to try new things and do as much as I can while I have the opportunity to do so!
*There is one more wonderful reason why I want to move to this area, but I will save that for a later post. :)
So, I'm moving to Hoboken which has a rich history and I look forward to making the most of my new home!
I will always have a place in my heart for Philly and it will always home, but moving to a new city was the best decision in my life - there is life outside Delco. Congrats and good luck, I know you'll be successful!
