As a Canadian-University student (had to point out canadian, because our dollar SUCKS and university student because student loans SUCK) that finally achieved his dream of going to NYC, I felt a lot of the things you’ve said. Between bouncing from major attraction to major attraction, the moments where I was still and could just observe and live presently was the best. I wish I had more time to just sit in a cafe and sip on an Americano in hindsight, but I wanted to “get the most out of my money”.

Awesome read and I love your writing style.
