Blog 5: Would you want to live in a major international city like Paris or NYC?

I think I would like to live in an international city like Paris or New York City. I don’t think I would live there long, maybe only a year or two. I would want the experience of living in an international city, something I could compare to how I grew up. The end results would eventually help me find a place I would like to settle down for good, if I wanted to stay in one place. My grandfather on my father’s side is incapable of staying in one spot for a while, moving from country to country and experiencing each area that he is offered. My other grandfather, my mother’s father, has never left New Jersey. He grew up here and will probably die here. My family has moved slightly. My mother moved from NJ to Pennsylvania and my father moved from Philly to a small town an 45 minutes away (where I grew up). I think that being able to experience different areas is way a beneficial way to determine where I want to be.

An international city like Paris or NYC will allow one to experience many different things from language to food to clothing and more. Cultures are different around the world and international cities blend the cultures ever so slightly so that you can experience different things. I would want the experience of living in a city. I would like to experience the different cultures that are put into the international city. I would like to have something different to compare my current (at home) living style to. If I enjoy the city, I would stay (based off income). If I do not, I would leave and find a place I would be more comfortable.
