Manhattan Brunch & New Beginnings

Autumn is settling in and I am writing from my apartment in Manhattan. It was just under 5 months ago that I embarked on an unsettling and overwhelming journey to New York to immerse myself in the vibrancy of the Big City, something I have dreamed about forever. Although I could never have imagined what would happen next.

To say this trip has been catalytic would be an understatement. I left my business, my country, my family, my relationship, and all that is familiar to me and stepped into a crazy, crazy world.
