I had dreamed of visiting New York since I was about 12 and it was one of the first places I traveled to when I started exploring the world at 18. The energy of this vast city is absolutely incredible – it instantly became one of my favorite places!💖

The city is full of inspiration, elegant style and vibrant energy from its surroundings. I love Manhattan and its stunning architecture, especially the art deco masterpieces like the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center, Flatiron Building and many more. As a fan of skyscrapers in general, other cities like Bangkok or Dubai – which I’ve also had the chance to visit – immediately fall into my “favorite places” category as well!

Complementing the city’s iconic skyline are its wide streets, beautiful parks, cozy cafes, diverse restaurants and inviting shops. The people are friendly, cheerful and warm, which instantly makes you feel welcome.

With nearly 8.5 million residents and more than 800 languages spoken, NYC is the most linguistically diverse city in the world!

Though I never dreamed of living in New York, no matter how much I enjoy being there, I do want to keep visiting occasionally, to recharge and emjoy that unique city energy 🇺🇸⚡️
