Coming from a small country, Nepal with middle class background , with my parents all by my side to being alone, working everyday non-stop , eating pasta and cereal every time . And then one night, I erupted because of loneliness and because of same life routine . That night, I took a decision out of blue, I booked a ticket from Long Beach Airport to JKF. I didn't have itinerary , no idea where I am going to stay , what I am gonna do but at that moment I didn't care, I wanted a break .
When I landed JFK, I was scared but excited and so proud of myself. I regret not taking pictures, I was shy to ask people if they would take my pictures. However, if I close my eyes and think of those days , its still fresh and I can still remember me taking subway, going to Central Park , eating pastries , going to Times Square , Statue of Liberty and Grand Market etc.
Finally after getting confidence that I am the queen of the world , i headed towards east coast exploration and made a promise to myself that I will always do something new each year that is out of my comfort zone .
