Ever wished someone handed you a cheat sheet for life’s little surprises?
Well, this is it ! This blog is about giving you practical advice and fresh takes to help make your move-in experience in North Carolina a lot smoother. You will soon notice that walking to get somewhere in this country is a very scarce mean of personal mobility.. (except for large condensed cities such as NYC)
I’m not saying that walking is impossible but it will take you forever to get anywhere further than 3 blocks away, and walking at night is kind of dangerous.
To get around the NC State campus, using the Wolfline Bus will work fine, until you want to go somewhere off-campus. Therefore if you don’t want to rely on expensive Uber/Lyft rides, you’ll most likely need to get behind the wheel.
Trust me, I could’ve used a resource like this when I first landed in the U.S. Instead, I stumbled my way through. Now, I’m sharing the lessons me and my friends learned, so you can skip the trial and error part and enjoy the best. (or at least laugh at mine).
This blog is just the beginning, and there’s so much more to come! I’ll be sharing tips, stories, and insights tailored to make life easier, whether you’re navigating a new American life, discovering local gems, or adapting to the culture. Your feedback is valuable, feel free to share your thoughts, questions, or suggestions. Together, we can turn this space into a go-to resource for anyone embarking on their own adventure.
