Hey everyone! Welcome to my first blog post. This is an experiment where I want to start sharing my photos and experiences. I'm super excited to share with you and also fulfill my need to organize everything, haha. Since this is my first post, I wanted to explain why I'm writing in English. Firstly, it's a practice exercise for me to improve, but I also feel it's a language that allows me to connect with more people around the world (I'd love to be a digital nomad). I'm not shy about it; I know I'll get better at writing and organizing information. And if you don't know English, this could be a great way to practice, and we can learn together. So, without further ado...

In less than two months, I had the chance to visit New York twice. During my first trip, which was a bit longer, I didn't get to visit any museums—well, I did go to the Neue Galerie, which I highly recommend. I saw some paintings by Klimt, one of my favorite artists. No photos allowed, but if you're ever there, it's definitely worth a visit.

On my second trip, my friend Orlando took me to the [MoMA](https://www.moma.org/) on my first day. He has a membership, which is totally worth it if you live in NY and love art. It was free for him, and I only had to pay $5 (he treated me, so I won’t be ungrateful).

I loved this museum. I'll be honest, the world of modern art is a bit puzzling to me; I lean more towards figurative painting. But in this museum, I found amazing works by many artists I admire, from more contemporary periods like Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Magritte, Miró, and Pollock.

Seeing Monet's "Water Lilies" in person was one of the best museum experiences I've had. I wasn't expecting much from Impressionism (it's a style that didn't resonate much with me until I saw it in real life), but seeing it up close, and giving it some space, changed that.

Let's dive into some controversial topics: Andy Warhol. He's definitely an artist who broke stereotypes, and his pieces are visually striking. But seeing them in person didn't move me like Dalí’s "The Persistence of Memory" or a Frida Kahlo self-portrait, which, by the way, thrilled me since I had seen it in an exhibition in Colombia and wasn't as impressed back then.

This time, I didn't take photos or note down the names of other incredible artists I saw, but I promise I'll refine this process to provide more valuable info. This is my first attempt at a blog, but I hope to share better information and start documenting my experiences and travels. If you have any questions, suggestions, or opinions, feel free to share them with me.

That's it for today, but I'll try to post more often about all my adventures.
