I've lived an hour from NYC my entire life and it's so true that it's always a LOT...it's so busy all the time and that feeling of "go, go, go" is exhilarating and exhausting all at once. Whenever I go there I have the best time but then I come back on the train and I get off the platform here in a small CT town and it's SO quiet and I just breathe a sigh of relief, haha. That's when I realize how much overstimulation there is there. Personally I couldn't live there but I feel like it's the best of both worlds where I am. I can hop on the train and go to the museums, shows, shopping, etc but I don't have to live in it.

[@yensid4294]

i felt the same when I commuted to San Francisco for school from my one high school suburban town 45 minutes away ;)

[@vampishly]

thats why im glad i live in brooklyn and not manhattan lol, its much slower and quieter where i am

[@gina1710]

@@yensid4294 omg girl same!! I’m still commuting from a small town below San Jose to SF & while I love the city I could not live in it. Coming home is the best feeling lol

[@Dee-zx9zm]

Okay but I loveee the casinos in CT. Like I was going to Foxwoods every weekend from NYC for a whole summer once lol. I personally preferred it over AC but since COVID they've made a lot of changes that I'm not crazy about- I miss club shrine soo bad, they still have bottle service but its not the same, it used to be so much fun- it was even in the top 10 clubs of the tristate area. Maybe in the future it will go back when all of this is finally under control and a lot more predicable in terms of safety again.

[@nataliaalfonso2662]

Thats also what it’s like living anywhere in the boroughs. Except we’re 17 minutes away. In queens we have pools and big yards and marinas and boats, and we’re right by Manhattan.

[@allisonjones2124]

I'm from a tiny rural farming town in kansas, where everyone is pretty friendly. I've traveled a lot and feel that I was the most accepted and treated the best in NYC. I got lost and was helped with directions multiple times and chatted and met so many new people. NYC had a bad rap for being unfriendly but that wasn't my experience at all. In fact it's my #1 place to move someday when I'm tired of small town living and want a change.

[@iloveart20101]

Yes they discriminate, they don’t believe in medical freedom over a shit vaccine that doesn’t work, and they have gone full blown Nazis , baring handicap people who don’t want the vaccine from going into any store! And asking for people to show their medical papers, it’s a shitty place now...

[@maureengreen617]

I agree, people from NYC are the friendliest, most helpful people anywhere.

[@theeluannesantos]

I agree. I love going over to the City! I’m happy I live so close (11 miles) that I can go anytime I want.

[@Dee-zx9zm]

@@iloveart20101 NYC has a vaccine mandate too tho- like if you want to do anything, get into any place- the gym, movies, museum, restaurants, clubs, anywhere that isn't a doctors office or store (even Starbucks is enforcing the mandate although I saw they stopped asking for cards- just have a huge sign up lol) you have to be vaccinated. Other than that I'm sure it is better here than Kentucky, but like most place there are places here that if you dont know the place- stay far away cause it does get dangerous. For the most part though the only thing better about Kentucky than NYC is the cost of living- that really is the only benefit I see.

[@nataliaalfonso2662]

We’re very friendly here. We’re just also savages. The thing is it’s the transplants who are mean and awful. I don’t mean immigrants! Immigrants are the most real NYers. I mean awful uppity uncultured oafs that’s fine here and try to bring their unfriendly mores into the big city. Native NYers might be downright evil individuals, but we’re ALWAYS very friendly!

[@ambers.1454]

It’s interesting that you said in NYC everything feels like an event and that can be hard as an introvert. I’ve always loved my NYC time because like you said you can totally blend in. I’ve always felt super anonymous in NYC and love it. I always tell people that NYC is perfect for an introvert because no one bothers you whereas in a small town EVERYONE knows your business.

[@Meggi1314]

honestly i agree with this more. i’ve lived in a small town my whole life and i am an introvert, and i can’t wait to move to more of an urban area someday. i feel like being an introvert and being in an environment where everyone knows everyone and you see people you know everywhere all the time is more of an introvert’s worst nightmare than living in a huge city where no one knows each other / no one cares what you do and isn’t watching you idk

I will never forget this Seattle Freeze moment. A group of friends and I were in an elevator going up to a trendy rooftop bar and this really good looking couple got in with us. The lady turned to her man and said “this place used to be cool” and clutched her very espensive bag to her body 😂. I’m from Alaska, I was not prepared for that kind of cold.

[@Theis-songs]

This video makes me excited for your stop in Chicago. I lived in Boston the past 5 years and loved my life there, but I’m in Chicago now and i think it could check a lot of your boxes. The apartments are SO affordable and nice compared to NY and Boston. Being in the middle of the country makes USA travel to either coast less burdensome. The food scene is… amazing. Such a beach culture in the summer too. Plus, both U Chicago and Northwestern medicine. And closer to Mayo in Minneapolis. Anyway, enjoying this journey. Reach out if you need a friend in Chicago!

I grew up in Seattle and live in NYC now - it makes west coasters mad, but I have found this saying to be very true: "West coast people are nice, East coast people are kind."

[@vanessadenise8983]

I grew up in Portland and haven’t found that to be true! I’ve lived on both the West and East cost for equal parts of my life and I found people to be friendlier in Oregon than in Florida for example :) Everybody’s experiences are different I guess

[@lillianmonet5952]

Southerners on the east coast are not so kind... Hospitable, maybe. But not kind. I've heard that up north, it's better.

[@denverdubois5835]

I'm from Northern CA and tbh I agree though I might make an exception for Portland, so many sweet folks there. Los Angeles, for all its issues, is probably the friendliest place on the left coast. But I just love New Yorkers. They slay me. I love their honesty and yes, their kindness.

Seattle is the number two port for the US west coast...behind LA!!! so no reason for the high prices, and all the food grown along the west coast as opposed to the rest of the US there is no reason for the highway robbery...I prefer vacations in NYC because of the very low food prices and taxis..while monthly rent is expênsive for a vacation rental it is the same as anywhere else!!!

NYC is notorious for being expensive, and yet when my friends from NYC visit Seattle, they all comment "Wow, it's EXPENSIVE here!" Probably because of the food!

First, i just need to say that i admire your free spirit and courage with EVERYTHING. I am older than you by a few years and I have learned so much from watching your videos in the past 7ish years. Thank you! My other thought is, i understand that NYC is in a league of its own but I wonder if living downtown in most large/populated american cities would feel similarly - like there’s always something happening or something interesting going on. I’m not a huge NYC fan, i adore Boston and Philly. They’re smaller but have the same amazing food, history, transportation (well philly def does), diversity, and liveliness. But that’s just my opinion. I’m so excited for you - and i’m always rooting for ya 🖤🖤

[@bethanylnguyen]

Also: Places to visit in Boston: - Old North Church - Mike's Pastry - Any Dunkin Donuts, but the one at Downtown Crossing near the Walgreens and Falafel King are my person favorite - Kelly's Roast Beef, I believe the one closest to Boston is in Brookline on the B green line - any hole in the wall donut shop (People say Blackbird is best, but ask anyone and they'll always say dunks or mom&pop) - Lucky Strike: not a unique venue, but a uniquely Boston Crowd at all times - the bars around the Garden - Frog Pond Skating in the Commons That's all I have for now, but if you need more there are plenty of places and tours. Just don't get roped into the Paul Revere trail, it is cold, long, muddy and underwhelming. Salem is also cool for coffee and witches, as well as just helpful herbs and crystals if you like them!

Don't let NY fool you. It's great and exciting at first and then when you live here it wears you out. The trash, rats, the subways, crime, cost of living, dumpy small apartments and extreme weather all on top of a pandemic has been just the worst decision I have ever made. I've been here 3 years and I feel like I'm on a vacation I can't go home from - not in a good way. It's good if you are young and right out of college or if you are super rich. I know that's probably not what you or anyone else wants to hear but it's just my opinion. Good luck.

moved from the pnw to nyc for one year a few years back and absolutely agree. worst year of my life, moved right back home to the west coast as soon as i could. nyc is good for visiting, not for living.

[@denverdubois5835]

LOL I spent a lot of time in the late 70s and 80s in NYC and it was like that then too--even worse, probably. It does have fascinating energy but I've gotten tired of big cities and urban living. The way you feel about New York is how I feel about Chicago--I spent some time there around 2005 and hated it. All the filth, rats, trash, crime and ghetto of New York's worst areas but mixed up so it was hard to stay out of the nasty areas--at least in New York you knew to avoid specific neighborhoods. And Chicago wasn't beautiful or romantic like New York can be, imho of course. I hope you are able to get out soon and go someplace you like better!

The Seattle freeze is funny b/c it didn’t use to be that way. Back in the day people actually would say hi to people on the street, but it’s changed SO much with the influx of out-of-staters over the decades…same with the inability to drive in the rain.

I'm not even finished with the video yet and you've already said something that's really helped me. The part where you talk about working so hard through your life and killing yourself to save and invest to only get towards the end of your life and feel like you've missed out. I'm only 19 right now, turning 20 soon. I graduated in 2020 so my early adult life has been pretty shit, to be completely honest. I jumped straight into college in a competitive program as soon as they opened up schools, wasted an entire year on it before it drove my mental and physical health to a breaking point that I didn't think I would come back from. I've realized I really need to take time to heal the things I never got the chance to as a child (not the best parents..) instead of pushing myself into such an extreme thing to take on considering my health issues just for the sake of telling people I'm hustling and building my future. Right now I work in food delivery (like Uber Eats and Doordash) and while covid has taken away a lot of starts to my adult life, I'm the happiest I've ever been. I know one day I'll get to start putting down the building blocks for my future, but that should be steady process of building and not just recklessly throwing something down. Sorry for writing so much! It's just nice to get off my chest. Thank you for inspiring me to keep moving forward without forcing myself beyond what I can do right now. I don't want to hurt myself or miss out on the important things in life any more.

[@cathrynduff-still199]

welcome to boston! hope this weeks weather doesn’t scare you away!

[@krisweideman5899]

You seem so Happy these last couple months. It's good to hear.

[@ifxequalswhy]

Taylor, you are 💯 right on the Seattle Freeze!!! I am a native Washingtonian that has lived in several areas of the state, including many years off and on in both Seattle and Spokane. I'm back in Spokane again for a better quality of life - nicer people, less traffic, lower cost of living, and better access to awesome outdoor adventures. Love your positive outlook on life and your candidness. BTW, you are also right about the Spokane accent you mentioned in a previous video. Hubby and I had a good laugh over that one. Spent the whole night saying bag to each other. 🤣 Guilty as charged because it is still coming out as beg! Well, at least now I am aware of it. 😄

[@taylorpalmer894]

Hello fellow Washingtonian! I was born and raised in Seattle; spent HS in Spokane, went to college in Bellingham and now back in Spokane- I find it’s the perfect medium (bigger than bham, but smaller than Seattle). Also my husband is from CA and totally makes fun of how I say “beg” for bag 😂 I never knew I was different until he pointed it out, and Taylor confirmed it 😂😂

[@britnywilson5402]

Fellow Spokanite here! I find Spokane to not be super friendly :/. I’ve actually been treated better by strangers in Seattle 😂. I guess it depends on where you’re at though! I feel like we have a lot of racist assholes on this side 😂😭

[@britnywilson5402]

Oh and totally beg instead of bag 😂 why is that a thing?! Lol

[@ifxequalswhy]

@@britnywilson5402 yes agree that the racism is more prevalent here. Less diversity big down side to this side of state. Diversity and the ocean are the two things I miss about Seattle. But I don't miss gray skies and grumpy stressed out overcrowded people. I find folks in the grocery stores here talk to each other in line, strangers passing in a park say hi, etc. way more than Seattle area.

[@taylorpalmer894]

@@britnywilson5402 yes! I have had the same experience with people not being so kind here in Spokane. Growing up in Seattle I never knew that was the perception of Seattle! I suppose it’s changed since I was growing up… I don’t think I’m THAT old, geez 😋 Since Spokane is growing so much I really hope it pushes out the racist jerks 😝

[@randomyoutubeperson3577]

I can't wait to see the Chicago videos! That is where I want to go in a few years. Cost of living is better than NYC, and so many things to do. Kind of a good balance of everything.

[@cierras3686]

Yessss my favvvv type of video you post! I don't know you but I love knowing about your life 😂😂 (not in a creepy way, I swear LOL)

[@mommashawna707]

We adopted our son from Tacoma Washington. I didn’t even get to enjoy a minute of it because I worked my nerves up so much because he was our first baby and we met his entire birth family that I literally made myself sick. It took us seven days before we could leave to go back home because I had gotten myself that sick it was crazy and I am so thankful that my cousin came with us. It’s funny because she’s had several children of her own since and she still says she thought it was the most beautiful birth story she had ever been part of.

[@8000sage]

LOVE BOSTON!!! They have great Italian food everywhere!!!

[@zibbyzoo4379]

I'm SO HAPPY for you, Taylor! It's SO EXCITING to see you traveling and having fun! This is totally you, I think. Thank you for sharing! XOXO Heidi

[@shellyfrancis382]

I’m from Michigan and I felt the same about New Yorkers. They were great to talk to and helpful. When I visited Seattle, everyone was nice, but the most genuinely kind were transplants from somewhere else.

[@hopebullard460]

My sister lived in Boston for a couple years! She loved it and misses it. It's very clean! It's very busy and lots of things to see.

[@theres.theresa]

Girl I keep getting nyc apartment tours on my feed now. 🤣 and I keep watching them lmao. I live in Idaho. 🤣🤣🤣 so happy for you again on this journey. Xoxo.

[@Joy20712]

I live in Maine...that's awesome you've visted...its def a small place for as bug as it is lol but love your vids, been watching you for yearrrrrssss now and dont plan on ever stopping. I know this is an old video, I'm just catching up on posts I've missed, but safe travels and good vibes your way 💜💜💜

[@Dr-UnBox]

I have been watching Taylor for a long time, I like each subsequent videos very much, you are the BEST ❤️😍😍😍😍😍

[@anned.hammershy9765]

I'm from a little town in Denmark. I never travel - but I do watch alot og American televison/movies. But this is so exciting to me! I cannot catch up 😅 - our countrys are very different, but I live for you and your approach is really hitting me - I feel like I'm getting to know the real U.S.A

[@claudiaa.mariaaa]

I'm so excited for your Boston apartment tour because I am loovvviiinngggg what I am seeing in the background! 😍

[@daniellelabelle7923]

Welcome to Boston Taylor! I hope Boston treats you well and you enjoy your time here. If you do get a chance you should go to Maine. I also love lighthouses and Maine has so many. Maine is such a special place. I am really enjoying your content and can't wait to see more videos from your time in Boston and your other future travels. You are so inspiring! Your foundation looks so good. I can totally see a glow on your skin. I hope to try the Paula's Choice product in the future. The Glamlite fry lash set is so cute!

[@kellibella0804]

KZbin was trying to play me just now!! Hit play and there was no sound!! Closed and reopened the video several times. Had to shut down KZbin completely and then find your video again to make the audio work. Thanks so much KZbin ... I appreciate you making me think I had gone deaf from the migraine "hangover" I'm currently dealing with. Taylor - your videos always seem to show up on days when time is struggle, if that makes sense. So I **fully** appreciate you & your videos for giving me an enjoyable distraction to pass the time. 🥄🖤

[@avecmoncoeur]

I live in Chicago and love it! Transportation is generally convenient and reliable. Many people only talk about how it's "unsafe", but large cities all have their own crime concerns. I've never felt unsafe here and find that most people are quite friendly. Plus, love all the local eats and shops!

[@MrsFujita08]

My daughter and grandson just moved to Chicago a few months ago. They absolutely love it there! I wish they were closer, since I live in Tennessee. I'm glad they're happy though!

[@KWCardDesign]

Simply, you rock! I’m so happy you are enjoying life right now even with health issues. You are an inspiration!

[@brianaalepoudakis280]

New York is a city like no other with a real energy that changes your life in the best way ❤️

[@jennifermorrison229]

I vacationed, with my parents, in Ogunquit Maine for fifteen years. I love it in the Summer but I know the Winters are brutal. Glad you’re doing well and got to see your family.

[@jadeforestco]

Welcome to Massachusetts! My husband works in Boston, beautiful city. We live 1 hour outside Boston. We're in the rural forest. Lots of trails around here!

[@miranda4475]

Made it past the weather 😮‍💨 haha it was actually really interesting. Loving the mix up of the content 🥰

[@greyhatdone]

Yeah here in NC...it can get crazy. One day it's 70 degrees and sunny...the next it's 43 degrees and raining. Enjoy your adventures!❤

[@spnikki16]

I totally get you on that introverted thing. Also, the experience you had with NYC actually being friendly, I had the same experience too. When I went to NYC for the first time with my mom, we got lost and this stranger totally helped us out and was so friendly. I'm originally from SF, Cali and had heard the bad rep about NYC, but it's the total opposite; people are nicer on the east than the west. But I'm so glad that you said Oregonians are so friendly, because I recently moved there 😊

[@denverdubois5835]

Yeah, Oregonians are more like east coasters, very kind and friendly people.

[@victoria7605]

I’ve been trying to figure out where to move after college and your travel videos have been such an incredible insight to places and just moving in general. Love all your videos too 🥰

[@joliedeal]

speaking as someone who's lived in maine her whole life, i'm excited to see your take! can't wait for those vids!

[@makedaka9151]

New York is the love of my life. I don’t know how to explain, but i’ve been there twice and felt I have lived there for years. I suffer because I can’t be there again. And Boston is my second favorite city ever! Ever! And I would live in Boston easily! That is coming from someone who has been to France, the Netherlands, Colombia, Germany, Belgium, and others. New York is my life!

[@najetteroberts5553]

So happy you made it to Boston safe. Sorry you got sick but at least it wasn't crazy sick. Sounds like you are in a great place right now. Living vicariously through you. Have three kids no traveling around for me right now. Can't wait to see where the road takes ya. Be well woman!!

[@hannahdouglass7991]

Glad you got through covid without being too ill! Would you ever consider doing a long term RV trip since you like the nomad life? I think it would be so cool!

[@n_factorial]

Welcome to Boston! I hope you love it here, it’s a cool place ❤️

[@katigrace25]

I moved to Portland at the end of 2019 from Salt Lake City. I lived right on one of the main streets at the beginning and it was so nice to be able to walk to many places in a few minutes and there was always something fun to watch out my windows. But I also right above a bar and it made me realize I am not a person who can handle constant, random noise. I moved to a different, more chill neighborhood and I’m really enjoying the new environment. It’s fun being in a big city, but I like living a little bit away from the busyness!

[@joannewang86]

The Seattle Freeze comment, haha. It's true. Fortunately there are also a lot of transplants who are less icy. I agree that while NYC people look cold, they are very friendly if you need something. They just seem cold because they're often BUSY, so as long as you are not dilly-dallying, you are not blocking their way, you are not walking slow and completely clueless about your surroundings, then they don't mind you at all and will help you if you need help.

[@christinas6528]

maybe I'm weird but I really liked hearing about the weather. I like knowing what it's like in other places. 😊

[@laurapotpie]

Hahaha same!!!- and my weirdo status has been conformed - but When she was describing the weather I felt like I was there more, like when you know the air in places as soon as you get there! Lol! 🌬

[@christinamartinez2853]

I’m currently living in Boston but was born and raised in Chicago. I agree with a lot of what you said. Boston is just small. lol. I do enjoy being able to do weekend trips around New England. I love Chicago so much! I hope you do too!

[@vzeimen]

I'm a saver and a traveler and I can appreciate having a solid community at home. I can see the benefits of putting down roots somewhere a little less expensive and a little less "on all the time" and saving NYC for trips. Can't wait to see the rest of your journey.

[@sherrys8321]

I think what you are doing is really great and adventurous. Safe travels and have a great time.

[@starship2235]

I've lived in Boston for many, many years and I am not surprised that this is not the perfect fit for you. If I was young and single and looking for a new place to grow and meet new friends, etc., I probably would pick another city too. I love Boston, but it is indeed small. I think that Chicago seems like a good fit for you.

[@laurenzugel6927]

Hi Taylor!! I’ve lived in Chicago for 11 years and work downtown as a jeweler here and it is an amazing city. The food scene is getting better and better and the museum, shops (I personally love all the plant and bookstores) and music venues are really great! Please feel free to reach out if you ever need a tour guide here!

[@juliafrolander1562]

🖤🖤🖤18sec after you posted I was here with a big cup of coffee 🖤🖤🖤

[@mariafilar3077]

I lived in Chicago for 8 years. I think you’ll love living there! I can’t wait to see your vlogs when you’re living there for a few months - i miss it so much

[@mhero2343]

It’s the tax in Seattle specifically. I live near San Francisco but have traveled all over and in the Bay Area, there is no tax on certain food items.

[@laurapotpie]

You talking about New York is like talking about a guy you’ve only been on one date w but you’re totally in love, but trying to play it cool! Lol I think you’re New York Smitten 🥰

[@casandrapacheco127]

Wow beautiful makeup look😍🖤 That foundation combo is 🔥🔥 GOOD LUCK on your journey xox

[@lmt16]

How has the traveling and moving been with your migraines and illnesses? Ps I am loving this new content so much ❤️

[@taylorwynn]

I’ve been getting MRF treatments twice a week like I normally do but harder finder good people quickly in each city. Have plans for future clinics in the next couple months.

[@JRose83]

The way you describe your experiences are really genuine and honestly very refreshing. You’re completely lit up when talking about NY so it might be the place for you..? Also, your insights about financials are greatly appropriated bc I know many people aren’t comfortable speaking about, but it’s an interesting pov from someone in a “non traditional” work force so thank you! I hope this year is filled with great total health, and an abundance of wealth! Lots of Love from CA! 🌴 ☀️ 😊

[@audreyc4000]

I'm excited for you to visit Chicago because it's all the same exact aspects of NY except less overwhelming and incredibly friendly!!!

[@JHo615]

“No one cares what you’re doing or what you’re wearing.” When I lived in New York I used to say that all the time!! It helped me feel more comfortable to be myself.

[@Jehniferj_4063]

Everytime you picked up your coffee ☕ I couldn't see your white nails ;) I actually love that wet n wild eyeshadow palette! I love these sit down & schmooze vids!! Xoxo ❤ 😘

[@ashleydvermont]

If you love lighthouses, definitely go to York Lighthouse, plus Long Sands + Short Sands beaches!

[@amyludwig8309]

If you plan to be a nomad for longer and are open to crossing the border, definitely check out Toronto! Late summer the city is amazing, since it’s cold most of the year the summer and fall people go nuts. People are generally really friendly!

[@Topzapper2]

Normally a silent watcher, but the New York thing. I’m an introvert with autism and I love traveling to nyc and enjoying the positive energy.

[@s4hg663ws]

Loving the nomad content!!!!

[@deannayuille9159]

You need to visit Newport, RI while you're in Boston. It's my favorite place ever & SO many lighthouses! Also, if Philly is not on your list, be sure to check it out too! Young professionals love it here

[@flygirl7268]

First time I went to New York someone told me..you either are going to love it or hate it...and I loved it. People were actually really nice this was well almost 20 years ago...hope it's still the same.
