Island gal's Page

Well, I’m a newbie in blogging so let me introduce myself. I’m a very spontaneous (mainly random) 22 years old gal. I’m originally from a beautiful island in the Caribbean that in due time I will reveal, just trying to avoid stereotypes. I have a BBA in Accounting and studying so hard to pass the CPA exam but that’s a very long story. Anyways, I’m moving to the Big Apple a.k.a New York City or as many would call the land of opportunities (“If you make it here, you can make it anywhere”, right?). That’s the reason I decided to start this blog, a memoir of my countless adventures as an aspiring New Yorker with an island heart.

I will be working in one of the Big 4 or as Urban Dictionary describes: “The last form of slavery in the US. This is where many young professionals begin careers and work 115 hours a week until they either quit or die from exhaustion”. Great job, hu? The way I see, if you can pull thru then afterwards everything will seem like a piece of pie.

I come from a small family and my parents are in the begging stage of a divorce (Yes, the battle of the sides). My little sister in on the path of becoming a pediatrician and she’s my favorite person in the world. She is probably one of the few people that understand my way of viewing the world.

I don’t collect anything other than memories. I’m also a devoted humanitarian, mac geek, travel junkie, fashion enthusiast, music addict, movie crazy and a TV shows lover! I like any way of expressing your mind (often referred as art). And as Pablo Picasso said “Everything you can imagine is real.”

There, a little bit of me. I hope you enjoy my blogs since they are a pure reflection of my journey in becoming an independent gal in a new city. Signing off now but stay tuned for as I begin to face many challenges as an immigrant and a young women in the business world. Let the good times begin!
