As someone who also fell in love with New York after watching friends and who is about to move across the world and change my life this post spoke to me so much! So did Part 1, about to binge read all your other Substack!

I’m actually moving to Australia! Always thought it would be New York and I’d still love to live there one day but I can’t wait to explore Australia
