After a sleepless 12 hour over night Greyhound stint, stuck sitting next to the bathroom, Manhattan can seem a little daunting the first time you see it from a distance. And from there, it only gets worse. You climb off the bus into the August heat, trying to find the right Subway entrance. You have

I’ve been holding off from posting for the past little while. The feeling of coming home after a month of hostels, hotels, couches, and luxurious friend’s guest beds has been a rough learning curve.

There is really no other way to describe my trip to NYC except as a whirlwind of adventure and maybe a little misadventure. First things first: the city prevented me from seeing Bon Jovi. Cool points lost = 29 Aside from obvious sadness over the loss of seeing “The Jovi” (though I have to admit
