Every time I get the opportunity to visit NYC, I learn
something new. This time around the city was in the midst of finishing up UN
Council activities and hosting the Global
Citizen Festival in Central Park. The diversity, heart, and overall vibe
that circulate around this world famous destination were nothing less than
motivational.
One of the reasons that I love traveling in general both
nationally and internationally is my getting the chance to fully immerse myself
in the locale. This involves finding ways to fully engage with the surroundings
and millions who live in it. The culture and attractions that makes NYC unique
is also a part of what brands it into my memory.
The Sights
This is truly a never sleeping city that is vibrant around
the clock. From the time we ventured out in the morning until drifting off to
sleep, there was nothing but activity going on. The bustle of the subway and
24/7 movement shows the constant examples of tradition. These sights attract
tourists from around the world and provide exploration opportunities.
The Sounds
Voices, vehicles, vendors and more are a part of the
never-ending productivity that defines this city. All of these come with sounds
that are heard throughout the day and night. These are a harmonious melody that
works together to express what New York is all about from location to borough. There
are notes of music, sellers, restaurants, and staples everywhere.
The Feelings
The sheer life of the city corralled on this visit in
Central Park which was the backdrop for the 2018 Global
Citizen Festival. This annual event focuses on the importance of
eliminating poverty on a global basis. This year’s crowd has been figured at
60+K attendees converging for an underlying purpose and goal. Here was a site
to learn from and inspire citizens to work together to make life better in the
future.
