The beauty of living in New York is that sometimes if you just hold out enough hope, dreams come true. I’d had in my head since I got there that I wanted to spend 4th July in the Hamptons. I tried everything I could to make it happen, but in the end rounding up people and a place (that was within budget) just proved impossible. … Continue reading The Hamptons
A little over a year ago, I wrote a post called Moving Forward. It was about leaving university and moving a couple thousand miles away to New York to start my first graduate job. You’ll know from my last blog post that I had the most amazing year in New York and was sad to return to reality. However, I decided I didn’t really like … Continue reading New Adventures

I only decided to write about it after a conversation with my roommate who told me that while walking home one night in downtown NYC, she was sending her pinned location to a friend every two minutes or so. Generally, I am pretty … Continue reading Companion – the ‘walk me home’ app
I wanted to do something memorable for my 22nd Birthday. The Yankees were playing the Bluejays, so after work me, and a whole bunch of my friends went to the Bronx to see the game.
