My New York seed was sown in December 2007.
Stepping out into
Times Square I experienced a sensory overload - the winter wind, blinking billboards, honking horns...is that a donut I can smell?
My Brisbane brain had never felt so besieged. Everything inflated, overstated, exaggerated.
Materialistic? Maybe. But noone can deny its chaotic charisma and addictive aura.
Two and a half years later and I still couldn't shake the feeling of unfinished business. I needed to return. But this time I wanted to experience it like one of the many million who work there. Bagel in one hand, blackberry in the other; both offering their own morning buzz.
I wanted to mingle with marketing masterminds and be amongst the
bigwigs!
My seed has found it's sunlight, in the offer of a digital marketing traineeship, in Soho, Manhattan.
I'm coming back to you Big Apple. Here's hoping I haven't bitten off more than I can chew...
Miss Manhattan.
