Last year, I moved to San Francisco. This year, I moved to New York City. I don't recommend making two major moves in the span of 12 months, but sometimes that's the way life goes.
These major life events taught me two important lessons. One: I never in my life want to move again. Two: Moving would be even more difficult without tech. From selling my furniture on Craigslist to charting my road trip across the country on Google Maps—and using the Orbitz app to book hotels while on the road—I relied on websites and apps to make an incredibly difficult process a little bit easier.
But what happens after you climb down from that dusty U-Haul in the city you plan to call home? You have to start from scratch: new apartment, new job, new life. Apps helped me plan both of my major moves, but they also helped me start over.
Lovely's website and app help you narrow down your apartment hunt.
The great American apartment hunt
Oh how I wish tech could have helped me find the perfect apartment with the snap of a finger when I moved to San Francisco. Instead, I depended on Craigslist. It seems so 2004, yet Craigslist remains the most important resource available to apartment hunters.
