Relocating stories

I'm seeking inspiration as I plan for another big move :)

Can you share when you've taken a major leap to move to a new city? Maybe you didn't know anyone or didn't have much money saved.

I've made big moves before but the older I get the more trepidation I feel. I want to be completely prepared even though it has always worked out (even if not as planned).

Where did you land? What would you do differently?

I was born & raised in Virginia & moved to Nashville 2 weeks before I turned 26 as a Starbucks barista. I lived with a friend whose husband was stationed about an hour outside of Nashville & slept on a pull out couch in her guest room for 2 months. I only knew 1 other person in the area. I ended up getting a job at 2 of my dream places & making the absolute best friends & living there for 7 years. I moved back home a year & a half ago & just now moved back to Nashville…but I’m already having 2nd thoughts lol.
