Hey all, Namaste,
Here is my story. I am 27 years old, male, i just recently came back to Nepal from Europe after doing my master's and now have a chance to live in USA (if everything goes well with my visa). Please note that i wont have a job waiting for me when i get there. After talking to a lot of people, i have been told that the best place to start would be New York. I am aware the rent is super expensive but I would rather live in a city that has more opportunities and more competition than in an area having zero opportunities and few competitions. I want to live there for a year or something and see how it goes. Anyways, the first question is regarding a place to stay and where to find it? I would probably get there by the mid or end of March 2015 but i dont know anybody there. I have been going through craigslist for rooms/shared or whatever but I heard its not very reliable and there's a lot of scams and such. Furthermore, those ads that seem genuine ask for 3 months payslips and proof of employment and references from previous room mates. i can get the references from my room mates that i had in Europe but how do i show them the payslips when i dont have a job? So my question is... how do i solve this problem? would they consider renting out their roms to a guy who doesnt have a job? and oh, please do let me know if any of you have rooms or know anybody who has a room available in Queens or Brooklyn or any cheap areas. i dont need a fancy place, even a couch would do really. Im very clean and respect other people's privacy. Thanks in advance :)
