Exactly one week ago I was sitting at this same desk, stressing
out about the upcoming business trip to Los Angeles, CA the next day. While I
was excited to visit a new city, to go to the West coast where I have never been
before, I was at the same time terrified of the overall idea of the trip and
the amount of responsibility associated with it. I thought to myself: “As soon
as this trip is over, my life will be back to normal.”
Well, now the trip is over, I’m back to New York, and, believe
it or not, but I actually miss LA now! I am not sure whether it’s the fact that
this is my first ‘real’ business trip that made me grow attached or I actually simply
liked the city, but I came back with very good, positive emotions and a bit of
a longing.
I must say I didn’t really see that much of the city, as the
only route I took was from the hotel to the Convention Center (which was 11
miles away and took over an hour to get to! Crazy traffic!); however, I still
got a good feel of it. It’s interesting in a way that it’s actually very
suburban but even so you still get the true city feel.
The trip has been a great, educational and motivational experience:
so many lessons learned, so many positive experiences lived, so many mistakes
taken into consideration for the future improvement – and that is exactly what I
consider a successful trip!
