I like to joke that moving is my favorite hobby because it must be! I’m constantly doing it, aren’t I? (Spoiler alert: I absolutely hate moving with an undying passion)
Spaces I’ve lived in:
- Pet friendly 100-year-old machiya month to month via Airbnb $$$$
- The cheapest hostel I could find, was actually covered in mold and I immediately moved out $
- A better hostel month to month via Airbnb $$
- Partly serviced 1DK month to month via Airbnb $$
- 2LDK 2 year contract $
- Pet friendly 3SLDK 2 year contract $$$$
- Pet friendly 4SLDK 2 year contract $$$
- Social apartment 1 bedroom shoebox month to month contract $
- Pet friendly 4SLDK 4 year contract (current) $$$
I’m a self-declared moving expert now, so AMA
Edit: lmao ok fine, downvote my every answer to all your questions then. I’m genuinely trying to get my startups going here in Japan and it takes a whole lot of work and sacrifice and change management. I genuinely hate moving but I’m way more interested in following the best opportunities for my three rapidly growing companies. The good news is that all this moving is paying off, so while it’s hella expensive and time consuming, it’s way worth it.
