After 13 months of frolicking around Australia and 3 weeks at home in Virginia, I’m heading back to the rise and grind hustle of New York City.
The feeling is familiar. Excitement, nostalgia, tinges of anxiety, and salivating taste buds anticipating that first New York slice. My life is packed up in two suitcases that I’ll somehow negotiate through the subway because I’m too frugal to get a cab. My planner is already stuffed with gigs.
But this time is different.
Returning to the Big Apple used to mean auditions, networking, and classes for an indefinite amount of time until booking the next dance contract. This time I know I’m leaving on December 23rd and I have one goal:
Like many artists, COVID pushed me to pivot. Dance has taken the passenger seat to writing and travel. Perhaps dance will take the wheel once more. But I’ve discovered that exploring the world and writing about it gives me that same sense of fulfillment and total satisfaction. With no mortgage, no car, no long term commitments, no big fluffy cat, and a partner who’s just as eager to travel as I am, it’s the perfect time to pursue my new passions.
Online work covers basic expenses while on the road, but It’s time to hit the New York City grind to pad up my bank account to be ready for the adventures ahead. (Curious about how I afforded being in Australia for 13 months? Click HERE!)
I am diving head first into the gig economy, and I’m here to take you along for the ride!
You can find the details on the new “Gig” page under the “Think” tab.
