I think everyone that comes here has an unwritten love story to New York. I decided that it was time for me to put mine into words.

I Love New York because of its pace. When I first moved here, I thought I wouldn’t like it as much. It is definitely something you need to get adjusted to, but as soon as you are, you appreciate the kick from its pace. It is a rush. And it is almost like you can feel it in your veins wandering around in this never ending city.

I Love New York because it is the home of so many inspiring people. In a way, I imagine that New York houses the world’s dreamers. I love thinking about what has brought so many people to this city and I love hearing their stories. The people who live here are working hard and I know it influences me. I want to be one of them. Imagine how many writers, actors/actresses and photographers, to mention a few, that come here all hungry for success.

I Love New York because of its diversity. People come from all over the world to be in this city. I even have a Norwegian community here, and I feel I share something special with the friends I have made here, no matter where they’re from. Going through these years with them is creating a special connection because being here is such an amazing and challenging experience that will shape you for life.

I Love New York because you never know what to expect. When planning a lunch with friends you never know what the day will bring. Where will you go next? This city have never-ending opportunities, and I love the feeling that you know you can do anything in this city.

I Love New York because the city has taught me so much. After coming here alone, I know that there is nothing that I can’t do. I’ve learned so much about myself that will be with me for a lifetime. A cliché I know, but once you have experienced it yourself you will understand.

I Love New York because there is no place like it. New York is a place everyone has a story about, a place (most) people love and a place that holds so many dreams.
