Looking for a Room Soon (Have a Very Sweet Cat)

Hi, my name is Emily and I have been living in Germany for 5.5 years and am looking to relocate to the States again. Currently I'm in the interview process with jobs in Hospitality (been in the industry for 10+ years) and while I'm not sure if I will end up in NYC or potentially D. C. yet, I will need a room soon.

Looking for a move in date around 1 July or before/after. I can be flexible, or this may change depending on my start date. I'm 34 years old and have a love for the arts, live a vegan life style, love coffee and wine, and I also recently adopted a cat but I am a big lover of bunnies and dogs, as well. My cat is from Bosnia and she is really sweet and loveable but I would likely keep her in my room with me so you won't even notice she's there.

If relocating to NYC, I'm looking for Prospect Park area but am flexible on location.

If I relocate to D. C., I just would prefer to be close to any metro line station as I do not intend to own a car!
