Feeling Like Myself Again: Leading NYC Photo Tour After Quarantine

Feeling like a human again after leading my first tour since quarantine!⁠ 🤗⁠ One thing I've struggled with since COVID-19 hit has been a loss of sense of self. Working in travel -- both through my travel blogs as well as my tour company, @nycphototour -- meant that I lost a lot of work.⁠ 😔⁠ But it wasn't just the loss of income that hurt. It was the feeling, to an extent, of purposeless. I went from leading and photographing guests around New York City almost daily to barely leaving my apartment for months. It was a shock to the system, to say the least.⁠ 😖⁠ This past weekend, I had my first NYC Photo Journey guests, a local couple, since the first week of March. It was their anniversary, and they wanted to do something special to celebrate.⁠ 🎉⁠ What is funny is that while they were coming to me for something, I actually got so much out of it, as well, mainly feeling LIKE MYSELF again.⁠ 🙃⁠ Hopefully, this is the start of something good.⁠ ✨⁠ What are you excited to get back to after quarantine?⁠ ❤️⁠ (Quick disclaimer: We did wear masks during the tour, but took them off for the photos).⁠ ___⁠ *⁠ *⁠ *⁠ #seeyourcity #nyctravel #nyctraveler #nyctrip #newyorkcitylife #explorenyc #manhattanphotographer #brooklynphotographer #nycphotographer #newyorkphotographer #nyctours #nycthingstodo #newyorktours #nycinfluencer #bushwickcollective #bushwickcollectivebrooklyn #thebushwickcollective #brooklynstreetart #nycstreetart #nycstreetartist #streetartbrooklyn #streetartnyc #bushwickart #bushwickstreetart #nycmurals #alleyart #muralhunting #streetsofnewyork #nystreetart #muralsofinstagram⁠
