moving to the hudson valley
hi guys:)
I (33F) was born and raised in Manhattan and decided that it was becoming too chaotic for my nervous system- I spent about a decade in the Berkshires which I absolutely loved for its serenity and natural beauty, but it was a bit too rural after a while (less easy access to resources, harder to form community etc).
I am currently in northampton, ma, but I’m thinking about next steps in terms of an environment that suits me and my interests a bit more. I’m into fashion, beauty, all things music, great food, wellness and access to nature.
I stumbled upon beacon through a recommendation from a friend and based on a quick google search it seems to offer some of what i’m looking for. I am seeking community and wondering if anyone could share their experience with how the area responds to newcomers- Im a bit shy so I would also be grateful for some tips from people who may have recently moved there & had to build community from the ground up.
any intel, warnings or reflections would be greatly appreciated! i’m not married to the hudson valley and am very open to any other east coast towns people might suggest based on what i shared :)
