US woman travels to internship via plane to save rent money | Trending
Sophia Celentano, a 21-year-old intern at Ogilvy Health, flies to her office every week. The reason behind this choice is that flight tickets turned out to be cheaper than renting a house in New Jersey.

According to information from Apartments.com and Renthop, the average rent for a studio in Parsippany is roughly $1,730 per month, while in New York it is closer to $3,500. Utility costs, food costs, petrol costs, and other expenses are not included in this, reports CNBC. Celentano also took to LinkedIn to share about her commute. She wrote, “On the first day of my internship I posted a TikTok where I shared what a morning looks like for me on days when I commute plane from South Carolina to the office in New Jersey. I explained in the video that my commute provides me with significant financial benefits. Rather than spending paying $3400+ a month for rent (the new average for leases in Manhattan), I book a $100 round trip flight from SC to NJ on the one day a week I work in person. Plus, my untraditional commute provides me with more lifestyle freedom, and I genuinely look forward to my weekly adventures.” Take a look at her full post below: This post was shared just a few days ago.
