Thanks for posting this Queen! I am a single mama trying to move to Tampa in 2-months with my 6 year old and 2 year old. I’m nervous and want to ensure I’m making the best decision for us. I’ve contemplated going back to Dallas (was there for a year) but Florida is where we want to stay.
OMG! I am so happy for you queen. You got this! I LOVE living here! I was thinking about moving to Dallas because it is so expensive here for no reason but I don't think I can leave. I love living by the water and having this weather. How did you like Dallas?
@@mamicitaaa Thank you, Goddess! Dallas was nice, clean, and beautiful. People were SO friendly (that was a highlight for me) but there were many times we were bored. Most likely due to not knowing anyone or places to visit. However, when my children and I visited Florida Feb 2022 we had so much fun! There are more activities we are interested in doing there than in Dallas. Thank you for your insight and for making this video! We can't wait to move here over the Summer. Do you mind giving insight into how the people are? That's one thing I LOVE about Texas is people are kind and helpful.
@@TiffanyShanellI was surprised to find that people here are very friendly and nice for the most part! I haven’t had any bad experiences with people at work or out in public! I hope that helps.
@mamacitaa Cry’s, thank you for this video. I’m actually moving to Tampa at the end of summer. This was great info! You or gorgeous btw. Thanks again🙏🏾 @timez10_
I was wondering where Tom Brady's house was. I haven't been able to find it here in Tampa. I didn't live far from him in MA, but you couldn't see the house from the street. Thanks for posting!
beautiful views, I'm looking to relocate soon from Chicago to Florida. I'm excited but nervous because I never lived outside of my hometown before and I'm thinking about jobs. but, I do know God got me.
Yes God has us girl! I’m so happy for you making that decision. This was my first time moving out of my hometown! Best decision ever. Why did you pick FL? My sister tries to convince me to move to Chicago! Why are you deciding to leave Chicago?
@mamicitaaa5748 I love chicago. It's fun and a money-making city, so I'm always coming back and forth. Plus, my family is here. I have cousins in Florida. I'm looking for a fresh start in a warm climate.
@@briannajackson7724 that’s one thing that’s keeping me here is the weather. I LOVE majority of the time being warm. I hate the cold so I want to get out more in the warmth. That’s awesome you have family here!
Really awesome video! My wife and I wanna make the jump and move to Florida we’re both in our late 20s and we wanna see how the Florida lifestyle would be like. We’re from New Jersey, how has it been for you leaving your hometown? Does that feeling of being far from family and friends kinda lessen the longer you’re there?
When I moved I honestly did not visit home once. I also did not really enjoy my hometown that much. I felt that I could reach out to my family by phone and I was fine. I feel that I may not be the best at answering this question because I was ready to get away from my hometown.
Great video. I want to move to Florida soon myself, specifically Miami. I was there for vacation in June for 12 days, and I absolutely loved it. The only con is that it’s very expensive to live there. Now I’ve also recently became very interested in Tampa too. It seems very beautiful! Like Miami, but more laid back, and cheaper. That being said, I think Tampa will be my next destination after Miami.
Miami is literally so nice! I felt the same way about Miami. Tampa is more chill and a little less expensive for sure! At least Tampa is just a drive from Miami.
@@mamicitaaa Do you find the people in Florida to be friendly? Florida is known for being one of the rudest states, especially in Miami, but that was far from the case when I was there. Everyone I met was very nice and friendly, and I felt welcomed there. Every time I came to my Airbnb building, strangers even said hello with a smile, and held the front door open for me. Now the driving part is a different story, lol. Not a hoax.
@@mamicitaaa That’s great to hear. However, that friendliness goes out the window as soon as they get behind the wheel, or even just grocery shopping. Everyone’s in it for themselves lol
@@MarcusAGreene that is very true. TX drivers are worse than FL drivers though. I feel like everyone is FL drives slow and likes to be in the passing lane going slow lol I just stayed away from Walmart in FL and I was good. I just went to publix. lol
I decided to move to Tampa, because of it's location. I am from by the water, so I wanted to stay by the water but live in a fun tri city area (Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater). I love here! There is so much to do and explore.
Hello ..welcome to this platform.. it’s my honour and pleasure to go along with your journey ,and to this 56 states in America ,u can do many things and share to us ,hopefully ! Good Luck and God bless you ..friend 💖💖
How is the cost of living & jobs. I’ve been thinking about Tampa but currently live in Denver right now & it’s extremely high basically like Cali maybe a tad bit cheaper & I want to live somewhere cheaper where I’m by the water since I’m originally from Connecticut but I want to make sure they have good jobs still because it doesn’t make sense if the cost of living is cheaper if the job market is bad if you know what I mean…thanks for your time wishing you the best on your journey
I think the jobs may depend on your field and experience. I was able to easily find jobs in my field (teaching) but when I attempted to look for job opportunities outside it I only had luck with 2 companies but the salary/cost of living did not make sense. The rent for 1 bedroom apartments are 1600+ for something decent/nice lol At the moment I’m having to go with what makes the most sense salary/cost of living wise. Updates coming soon. If you’re moving here with a partner y’all got this for sure but if you’re single I’d say make sure you have a nice salary. I LOVE living here though. I hope that helps.
I’m a teacher so with the shortage it was a little easier. I did several job interviews virtually before accepting a position. I found my house by searching on Zillow. If you are looking for an apartment I believe you can search on Zillow for some as well! (:
Hi, I’m thinking about moving to Florida in the next few months and my husband and I decided on Tampa just because it’s more affordable from the research I have done especially with children. I teach as well. How do you like it so far is it good for children I love the beach and just want to get out of Atlanta. I’m looking for a more down to earth but family fun place .
Congrats on your soon to come move! As far as teaching, my experience was not very pleasant until the 2nd semester. The first school was rough and I transferred to a better school in Jan. Teachers here are super underpaid. I’d recommend Pinellas County over Hillsborough County. & join the teacher groups on Facebook to be get info on schools. I think children can thrive here! & with the beach and weather how can you not love it! lol
Hello just subscribed to your channel what made you move to Tampa and by yourself also what was the name of the hotel you stayed at in Tampa looking to vacation there soon and would like a good place to stay thanks in advance
Thank you! The hotel was called Hampton Inn & Suites Tampa Riverview Brandon. Please go to the Loritas in their parking lot! I tried the carne asada fries from there recently and oh my! I honestly went through a traumatic experience at home and needed a fresh start. Being in my hometown was very saddening for me. I hope you enjoy your stay here. (:
Keke’s Breakfast, steak and birria tacos from Taqueria Los 7 Hermanos, white sauce pizza from Mangia Bene, Fatburger if you haven’t had it, and Tres Amigos Cantina.
Thank you ❤️ and God bless you! The hotel is the Hampton Inn & Suites Tampa Riverview Brandon. Good luck! Safe travels. Congrats on your move. I love living here.
I really like living here. I am thinking about staying here another year! It is so much to do and I love it has so many cities around it to visit and explore. (:
Hi there! I am interested in moving to Tampa my husband and I can you please reach out to me? I have questions regarding the area. For safety purposes I would appreciate you contacting me so that I can send you my email. Thanks so much!

Not too bad for your first vlog 👌🏽 I’m visiting Tampa in December for the first time. Maybe I’ll do breakfast @ kekes lol
Thank you so much for watching! (: How was your visit to Tampa? Please tell me you tried Kekes!!!
I was wondering where Tom Brady's house was. I haven't been able to find it here in Tampa. I didn't live far from him in MA, but you couldn't see the house from the street. Thanks for posting!
His house was on Davis Island! It’s Derrick Jeter’s house apparently and he was renting it so you might have luck searching for the address that way!
Welcome to vlogging. I enjoyed your 1st vid. Maybe I can get that seafood outing in Tampa lol
Thanks for watching (: seafood sounds so good!

You got this! There are so many options with houses. The weather is amazing most of the year. I’m so happy for you and your decision. ❤️

Congrats on your move! I hope you love it.
Which hotel was that? Was it near the outlet mall in Wesley Chapel? How do you like living there so far?
So happy for you Cita
How are you liking Tampa so far and what inspired the move?

How did you get employment and an apartment?. Usually its a Catch 22 for me.

Do you know the name of the hotel?
Hampton Inn & Suite Tampa Riverview Brandon !
Welcome to Tampa!!

And congratulations!
How did you find the home and what’s the rent?
I looked on Zillow. It shows the renting company. I googled the companies to check out their reviews. Researched like crazy.
3 bedroom 2 bath was range 2000-3500 when I was searching.
@@mamicitaaa okay cool that’s all I been doing is research too. I’m moving there in May or June. Do you like Tampa?
@@Whoisderon congratulations on your move! I enjoy Tampa. It’s such a good location with everything it has around it. Tons to do here.

Heyyyy! New subscriber! I’m also a Tampa vlogger maybe we can link for brunch or something one day 🤗💕
How was Guthrie’s? I always wanted to try it. Only because it has my last name lol

@@mamicitaaa I definitely need to try it out !
@@SusieSue242 yes! I hope you like it!
How do you like living there so far?
I really like living here. I am thinking about staying here another year! It is so much to do and I love it has so many cities around it to visit and explore. (:
@@mamicitaaa oh ok, that’s good. I’m considering moving there or west palm beach. I’m going to stay a week and see how I like both in May.
