About me
About me
I am a freelance writer and travel blogger who enjoys traveling the world and experiencing other cultures. I love every chance I get to visit and explore the language, history, cuisine, and culture of new places, as well as meeting new people along the way. I believe the world is just too large and our sphere of influence so small to ever stop traveling and learning!
Why New York
New York City really has everything. I live in Queens, which is considered one of the most diverse places in the entire world. No matter what you're looking for, you can find it in New York. The life and energy that abounds here are really some of the most interesting things I've ever had the privilege to experience. There's never a boring moment in this city!
