    Welcome back to the US, Andrea! I felt this video so hard, ive been there! Can’t wait to hear about how it goes with bringing the fur babies over.

    So happy for you that you've made it to NYC - what an exciting (if not nerve-wracking!) time 😍
    I know what you mean about living on your own - I did for the first time when I was in Italy and even last weekend when I moved back to Bath before my housemate arrived it felt so strange (as an introvert/ambivert I simultaneously loved and hated it)!
    Hope everything else with the move goes smoothly ☺️🤞

    • @AndreaHeckler
      @AndreaHeckler  Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you!! ☺️ I'm the same way as an ambivert: it can be nice to have time and focus for yourself, but at the same time...it's so lonely! 😅

    I’m soooo excited for you!!! And, if I’m being honest, living vicariously though your adventures! Will you be staying in NY or do you see yourself moving again to another area or country? Is your husband prepared for what I can only imagine is a huge culture shock?! Ugh! I just have sooo many questions! Lol. But, I hope you are settling in well and I am so looking forward to more NYC videos!! 🤗

      @AndreaHeckler  Před 3 lety +1

      So. Many. Times. 😂 The worst has been “sorry” (“pardon”) when I’m in someone’s way or bump into someone. It always pops into my head in French first!

    I am currently peparing an "international" move as well as my boyfriend is gonna join me in Germany from Hungary while I also move out from my parents place finally. That is already a confusing process as it is :'D Seeing your move at the same time scares me and reassures me cause we have to do that soon but if you can move across the ocean, moving from one EU country to another (especially with me living here already) should be eeeeeasy :D
    But you also inspired me to pick up my camera again and document the process. Maybe not for CZcams but definitely for myself :3

    I missed parts of the story (I'm not on Instagram). But why did you left Paris ? Is Paris or France or Europe suddenly became somehow boring, or unbearable, or is it just a new job opportunity you couldn't miss out there ?
    Anyway have a good settling in NYC. I wish you the best abroad (well, abroad since I'm speaking from France, but homeland for you). Cheers !

      @AndreaHeckler  Před 3 lety

      Moving countries is a lot more complex than “I got bored” 😊 If I could somehow live on both continents, I would. But I can’t, so I have to pick one city at a time, and now it’s New York’s turn!

    I'm nervous about your cats too..I live in Upstate New York and I keep my cat inside...New York is too dangerous for cats ..like shady people...so please let us know about your cats and pictures ❤️❤️❤️❤️ please..

    • @AndreaHeckler
      @AndreaHeckler  Před 3 lety +1

      Keeping cats indoors (or in enclosed outdoor spaces, like catios) is safer no matter where you live 😊 I'll be taking all the same precautions that I take with them in Paris already, so no worries there!
