NYC Life: October 2020

October is my favourite month in New York City, because you get the bright blue skies and warm sunshine of late summer followed by the crisp air and golden foliage of autumn. I flicked back to my October 2019 recap before beginning this post, and was reminded of how stressed I’d been about my upcoming visa application so I could start work in the US. … Continue reading NYC Life: October 2020

NYC Life: September 2020

September & October are some of my favourite months in New York City (along with April and May – the beginnings of the city’s softer spring and autumn seasons!).

Protests continued throughout most of the month, and in some parts of … Continue reading NYC Life: June 2020

NYC Life: May 2020

It almost seems a bit silly to dedicate a post to a month spent indoors, but despite seeing less of New York City in this installment of NYC Life, it is still very much a life. March was full of anxiety, April felt more like a mellowing out as I started to accept a new normal, but May feels like a rollercoaster. We’re still here, … Continue reading NYC Life: May 2020
