As I am looking out of the window from the fifth floor of my apartment in Harlem, New York I can't help but feel elated. If there is one thing that my dear mother taught me back when she was still here it was that; Opportunities such as these are few and far between and it's not by mere chance they come around.  So here I am.

This morning as my plane was descending I was in awe of such a mass urban landscape that I've only seen in photos.  A place where so many people dream to go and yet still so few actually do.

My intention for this month?

Of course, there is an array of museums and tourist attractions to see, but thats not why I'm here.

I don't know about you, but what I love the most about cities is discovering their inner walls. The places where culture and liveliness combine.  The hidden gems where experiences lay.

As I step head first and without looking back, I warmly greet this  sleepless city "hello".
