I've relocated

Please tell me which sentence I should use if I'm talking to a friend in the present tense:

I've relocated to New York. Or

I relocated to New York.

Thanks!

Wel, neither is really a present tense, since the event happened in the past. Both forms are fine. The first is said with more excitement or when the relocation is relatively recent.

If the intended meaning was you have moved from location A to B for business and work purpose, then it's more common to express in passive form: "I have been relocated..."
