I’ve spent three years in Manhattan. I’ve lived on Haratio St in West Village and W 77th on Upper West Side. Fully immersed myself in the arts and culture of NYC, I’ve grown so much during my time in the city. I’m forever grateful for this precious experience. This blog is a love letter to new york.
