It was December. Two days before I’d left my hometown, Santiago. I was living this adventure with my 4 good girl-friends: Paula, Antonella, Katherinne and Tere. Everyone was full of dreams and expectations.
We spent two days in New York City. As Frank Sinatra said in his song “the city that never sleeps” but now we were going to the north, New Hampshire. When people asked me where I was going and I said N.H., no one knew where that state is. It is because most of people only know the most famous states like Florida, NY, California, Texas among others. So I had to explain where New Hampshire is.
Our two days in NYC were completely amazing. I have no words to explain what meant to me to be there. I am a big fan of sex and the city, for instance; so walking through those streets, taking the subway (what a dirty subway btw), made me feel like one of those 4 New York girls. And my friends felt the same.
In that moment we could walk a lot, even a day we were walking for 8 hours, non stop. Unbelievable, isn’t it?. That’s why NYC is a place where we have to know on foot.
We actually never felt tiredness. We were so happy of being there. We went to world trade center. It was something that we couldn’t NOT go. That place is full of emotions, memories. And I couldn’t stop wondering what I was doing when the planes crashed.
Anyway, when I was going to N.H. I realized that I was on my own. Instead of living this experience with my friends, I had to be able to live alone. This was the first time where I was going to be so far away from my family. But that didn’t frighten me, that made the trip become more exciting.
I just wanted to get to our place… the place was called Dixville Notch, I mean The Balsams… I didn’t know that balsams was going to change my way of seeing my life forever. And I was going to meet such amazing people, by the way.
