I went over on a 1 year work visa kiwis/aussies can get once you graduate uni (I’m 23, friggen ancient in the tumblrverse haha). It was pretty mental thinking back, all my friends were moving to Melbourne and I was just like uhhhhh screw it I’m goin to NYC haha. Worked as a graphic designer for the most part, also had an office/admin job, I was all over the bloody place! Fave moment: all of it! Made some amaaazing friends & had awesome flatmates who i still talk to almost everyday, lived right by Cenral Park which was incred! Came back to NZ with some crazycray stories. There were def harder times too but its all a learning experience! 100% will try go back and visit as much as my funds will allow. Theres nothing like going somewhere completely new and scaring the shit outta yourself - if you can do it i highly recommend it! Phew, excuse the novel X X X
