My first steps in NYC
Written by Daria Kurdyukova-Pillot
“I’ve been already living in NYC for two years. I remember my first days with my husband here. We arrived in January 2016. It was cold (a snowstorm came right after our arrival) and our neighborhood was not as cute as I had expected. My husband had a job and he started it the next day, and I had to manage what to do during these long days. I didn’t have any friends, and moreover it was my first time being in the States.”
