 9 months in South America and North America

When I was in my early 30's, I made a promise to myself : "Girl, by 35, I want you to do be in a place that you would have chosen, not imposed on by the routine ! It can be a new home, a new city, a new job, but it needs to make you happy and you need to enjoy your life !". It is only lately that I have remembered that promise... I'm now 35 and I have realised that I'm the only one responsible for my own happiness. So I have quit my comfortable job in London and decided to go on another adventure...

Après 8 heures de bus depuis Montréal, on y est enfin ! Neeeew Yoooooork ! Dès la 1ère heure dans la ville, on se sent comme dans les films. On ouvre grands nos yeux, admiratifs devant l'architecture et l'atmosphère qui y règnent. On n'est jamais venu mais on a l'impression de déjà connaitre.

Je passe 7 jours ici en compagnie de mon meilleur pote Charlie, venu tout droit de Singapour. Après quelques jours passés à Montréal avec nos amis (prochain article), on dévore en bus et à pieds les rues interminables de Manhattan, on grimpe au 86ème étage de l'Empire State Building pour admirer le coucher du soleil, on s'habitue au labyrinthe du métro New Yorkais, on dort dans le quartier tranquille de Brooklyn, on mange tout ce qui n'est pas sain pour la santé, on revoit quelques amis qui vivent ici, on parcourt l'immense Central Park, on prend (presque) le train depuis la Grand Central Terminal, on assiste à une comédie musicale à Broadway, bref on joue les touristes de base, et ça nous plait bien !

After 8 hours of bus from Montreal, we are finally here ! Neeeeeeew Yooooooork ! From the 1st hour in the city, we feel like in the movies. We open big our eyes, admiring the architecture and feeling the atmosphere ! We have never been here but it seem that we already know it !

I spend 7 days here with my best friend Charlie, who came from Singapore. After few days in Montreal with our friends (next article), we are strolling on bus and on feet the never-ending streets of Manhattan, we climb to the 86th floor of the Empire State Building to admire the sunset, we get used to the maze of the subway, we sleep in the quiet area of Brooklyn, we eat only unhealthy food, we meet up with some friends who live here, we wander through the immensity of Central Park, we (almost) take the train from the Grand Central Terminal, we watch a musical on Broadway, in short, we are playing the basic tourists and we love that !
