Two weeks ago, my boyfriend and I moved from Los Angeles, CA to Newburyport, MA. We put lots of our things in storage, packed my car with all that we could, and shipped it across the country. We are staying in a charming furnished home out here and we feel really lucky to have found it. Edgar and I are both working remotely for the next few months or so, which has allowed us some time to live and explore somewhere new.
It’s a BIG change of scenery for us, but so far, it’s been incredibly refreshing. We’re enjoying the chillier nights, festive fall activities, and being closer to my family (I grew up in New Hampshire and all my family is in New England). Newburyport is really the MOST charming little town! It is right on the water with great seafood, cafes, and architecture. I barely drive at all (which is a great change from my traffic-filled days in LA) and the streets remind me of a small city in England mixed with the streets in Sony’s studio backlot. What I am getting at is that they are so picturesque sometimes they look fake!
All that being said, Edgar has never lived anywhere cold and it has been many years since I have, so we’re hopeful that we will survive. I guess we shall see! Stay tuned for more on our new place, our new neighborhood, and all things New England over the coming months.
