Many of you will be familiar with this problem: you move into a new city and right away life starts to spin very fast – new work environment, new friends, new neighborhood, new everything. At some point when you calm down a bit, you realize that you have already forgotten many of things you have experienced.
That’s exactly what we, Franziska and Alex, realized during our first month in New York City and it took us quite some time to reconstruct the first weeks. Luckily we both carried our cameras with us to create some memories going beyond random mobile phone snaps. We are both originally from northern Germany and work as management consultants. We met at work three and half years ago and have been conquering life as a couple ever since. We decided to transfer to our New York office from Berlin – we said to ourselves “if not now, then when?” and so the adventure began.
We started this blog to capture the memories we make and share our experience with friends, family and everybody who is interested in getting inspired by what we do. We chose to write a blog very consciously and decided against e.g. Instagram. We do not want to create a fancy world only showing the shiny and bright life, but rather document month, weeks and days as they come.
We are happy about any comments or recommendations you might have – be it related to photography, New York, the US or the expat life in general.
Enjoy and take a big bite of the big apple with us!
Franziska & Alex
