If no advertising is permitted here, can anyone please PM me apartment/housing leads or specific doc referrals? I'd gladly bequeath to you my first-born, if so.
Thank you, everyone. I am just so nervous and uncertain right now.
Thanks for the PM. You're most welcome. I didn't mean to be abrasive. Just wanted to help with the facts. Never mind those now.
When I was in my late 20s, I moved 3,000 miles all alone after having lived in one place for my whole life up until then. It was stressful and scary. I ended up buying a house the second day I was there, and I wasn't even planning on it. From that day forward, everything worked out better than I ever imagined.
The move was a dream come true, and once I got settled in, the anxiety and stress melted away. I moved here to NM several years later, another solo 3,000-mile migration. It was another roller coaster. I think it's always that way. But you will be fine as long as you are following your heart. I'm not very old or very wise, but I do know this.
New Mexico is a wonderful place, in the north and in the south. I have found it warm and welcoming, even when there's 3 feet of snow piled up outside my cabin and the thermometer reads below zero. It is a place of wide contrasts, and for that reason, it seems, everyone is welcome who dares to give it a shot.
It's also the real Wild West and has its perils: wild animals, wild weather, wild beauty, and a few wild people. The land and its energy are ancient, deep, and complex. It's like no other place I've lived in. It has a way of making you fall in love with all its rough edges and mood swings.
If you like adventure -- physically, spiritually, mentally -- you'll enjoy it here too. Things might not always be perfect, but they will work out as your heart leads you.
I'm confused. You were going to move to Alamo for a job. Then someone suggested Silver City. But you liked Alamo. Then you liked Silver City because of your ex-future employer. What are you doing???
I drove through Arizona and wasn't impressed. I went to Los Cruces and spent the night. Getting better. I then went to Alamo and looked around for a day or two. I stayed a year and a half. I adapted to the environment and enjoyed evey bit of it. I was looking for some place different and pleasant. And I found it.
Good luck with whatever your looking for.
ps: $50,000??? My rent for a 60ft. trailer and utilities was $300 a month. Food was even cheaper.
