The city that never sleeps....
Since i visited New York back in 2016 I was 100% sure that this was my gab year destination. There is something unique about the city. You feel it when you walk between the skyscrapers. You feel it when you escape into Central Park walking around skilled people showing off their music talents or dance moves. All of my love didn’t fade away after 5 months. I still love the city and can’t wait to get back.
I have made this website as a little diary about my 5 months in The Land of the Free. Each month have it’s own dedicated site. So take a look and come with me down this memory lane.
September
September was the very first month in New York. The weather was amazing and everyone was out meeting new friends. I went to the city loads of times and met new people that later would become friends for life. You can read more about what happened in this eventful month by clicking the button below.

Christmas. Finally a year not celebrating the entire Christmas month in Bilka. It was so nice enjoying the Christmas vibe and seeing how the city quickly filled up tourists. It was also in December I got to visit the Capitol of the US and seeing historic sites and dive in to the interesting and often troubled history of the United States. Read more below.
January
We were told that January in New York was brutal. It wasn’t that bad. It was cold but the sunny crispy days and a weekend where temperatures rose above 18 made it a pretty amazing month. I got a chance to visti the UN headquarters and I had interesting video tasks and got to meet even more amazing and inspiring people. Read more below:
February
The last month of this very eventful stay. Mostly used the time with my friends. It seemed unreal that we had to leave that month already. Time had really flown by way too fast. I took a last walk through Central Park with my roomie. I walked one last time on the Brooklyn Bridge. I breathed in all of New York, so that I could some of it in my heart. Because I knew that very soon I would start missing the loud and busy city.
