My experience with this city was the one of a tourist, and, although I didn’t have a budget, I spend with caution because everything was a bit too expensive for what I was used to paying. I pictured my partner and myself walking the long streets towards work and living in an apartment in the heart of the city until I started looking for apartments and realized the exorbitant amount they charge for a shoebox place with one room and one bathroom. Just as in Madrid, I have planned a life in New York City. However, I still hold this place dear to me and count the days to go back. After this time, I swore to try everything to go back to this incredible city as soon as possible I was already planning on buying my plane ticket when the COVID19 pandemic started to collapse the system. I was twenty-six years old and grateful that I didn’t have to pay for my stay in this hotel in the heart of the island. Once I managed to get my phone working, I requested an Uber and drove to Times Square, and I stayed in the Hampton Inn Manhattan Hotel. My luggage was on another plane, so I had to wait for 3 hours in the luggage pick area alone while figuring out how to buy a SIM card for my Motorola. Although I fly to New York for business reasons, the experience was so new and wild that I could not stop myself from shaking. For example, the first time I visit the United States. I have had a few other first time that have changed my life.
