Like any great work of writing that provides insight into contemporary culture and the human condition (think: Shopoholic series, Twilight, and Gossip Girl), the end of “Nerdy Girl: Around the World” robbed its readers of the true momentary escapism that had broken up the unbearable doldrums of real life…
Hyperbole? Perhaps, but there is something to be said for artistic license – even if it only serves to feed into one’s delusions of self-importance and grandeur. (Of which I only have a few)
The original Nerdy Girl blog (2009) chronicled the adventures of a bright-eyed, college junior studying in the city of Berlin as she navigated living abroad , speaking another language, and traveling around a continent. Since then, that same junior has gone on to graduate from college, enter the workforce, and learn the importance of setting up a 401(K). Determined to stay “hip and cool” despite evidence to the contrary, she has decided to stay living at home because it is de rigeur among her post-college peers.
As it turns out “home” is living in one of the most exciting cities in the world – which deserves to be rediscovered!
Nerdy Girl thinks it’s time she “traveled” at home, exploring the great cultural spots, experiences that NYC has to offer!
Now if only she understood how the streets worked below Houston Street…
