As a city girl, I love the city and New York is a place I've been fantasising about visiting for a while now. It's so much like London - big, busy and beautiful. If I could, in the future, have an apartment in a converted warehouse or a Brooklyn Brownstone house and also an apartment or house in London, I'll know that I've definitely achieved something. I would be so much bigger and better!

I read an article which was written a couple of years ago about figuring out whether you belonged to New York.

The three questions you were asked to consider was whether you were a maximiser, whether you wanted to be on top of your field and whether you valued an interesting life over a happy one - You had to answer yes to 2 out of 3 of the questions to be a suited to New York life.

New Yorkers were said to be maximisers, lived in New York to be on top of their field and are known for being unhappy (maximisers are apparently almost never happy).

• I certainly am a maximiser - I long for the best in everything. The purpose of this blog fits right in that; it's all about being bigger and better and not settling for less than the best you can possibly be - which leads on nicely to the next point...
• I certainly want to be at the top of what ever I do. I love the idea of going into property and if I do succeed I want to be the best that I can be.
• I am not saying that I want an unhappy life but from what I know about myself I know that I have always wanted an interesting life and I am probably most unhappy when my life is in absolute stagnation and nothing's going on.

So yes, at this particular point in my life, I can answer yes to all these questions.

I've come to the conclusion that I want to go there now!

Like right NOW!
