Life in New York

The Big Apple

Dear all,

Every time I fly, I leave a piece of myself behind. If you think about it, I haven’t stayed in one place for more than 2 years during the last 5 years. It is all very tiring, but it is worth it when you are looking for your place on this planet like me.

I arrived in New York last Friday. I am staying in a hotel now until my furniture arrives. I will be living in the Upper West Side near Central Park. I love the area. I showed it to a friend of mine and she liked it as well.
Yesterday, I walked around the city, to explore my new home. The city is crazy, so alive and I like it. The only thing I will have to get used to, are the tourists. They are everywhere. You see that I don’t consider myself to be a tourist here anymore. I am a local now.

I already have a lot of plans for the weekends to come. The first two weekends of September I will be having visitors. The weekends before, I will be busy buying the necessary stuff for my appartment. And during the weekdays, I will be working of course.
I have been working for two months only and I could use some holidays. The last month has been so exhausting. Having to prepare everything for my move. The coming weeks will be the same, but at least the end is in sight.

A big congratulations to Bjorn and Sara who are expecting their first child. I am so happy for you guys. The same goes for Kim and Inneke. Too bad I am not going to be there to watch your bellies expand.

A big hello to all family living in Australia. Sorry I could not make it in Spain. I hunger for news of you all.

Take care all of you and I will keep you posted on my life in the Big Apple.
