I was very scared before I visit New York because New York is very very big city. And also, I heard many criminal things that happened in in New York City so I was quite scared because I was traveling alone for the first time, but actually there were some bad people on the street but when I go through them, it was not quite dangerous and oppositely.

I went to attend my cousin’s wedding and it was amazing. There were dozens of places I wanted to check out but didn’t have any time for.

Manhattan is a pretty kind place. Its a college/military town so make sure you're in groups and don't go home drunk with men you don't want to. People are friendly everywhere and my favorite part about living here is that most people are transplants so you'll fit in pretty easily.

Jacksonville

About me
Hi my name is Athena and I'm visiting Belgium for the first time to volunteer on local organic farms! I love having language exchange and cultural exchange experiences! I also love the idea of this women-supported community that can bring people off other social media and reduce services like Airbnb that drive up local housing prices.
