In this video, I’m basically a lost Canuck south of the border—I left Canada and moved to Chicago. I take you along for the transition and what it feels like to pick up my life, cross the border, and start fresh in a new city. It’s less of a polished “moving guide” and more of a realistic check-in on the chaos, excitement, and uncertainty that comes with a big move. Since my channel is all about documenting my PhD life in a way that’s actually honest, this move is part of that bigger story: trying to keep my routines and mindset steady while everything around me changes. If you’re also relocating for school, work, or just a new chapter, I hope this feels like a small bit of company—like, yes, it’s a lot, and yes, you can still figure it out one step at a time. I filmed this with my Canon SL2 and my iPhone 12 Pro Max to keep things simple and capture the moment as it happened.
