    Rosalinda Torres
    This blog post summarizes a journey the author took to attend an annual conference in the United States. The author traveled from Lima, Peru to New York City with a colleague. They took a cab from the airport to their hotel in downtown New York. The next day, they went sightseeing, taking public transportation to visit the Statue of Liberty. They returned to their hotel by train, having to go down some stairs to access the underground station. The author enjoyed meeting people from various countries at the conference but felt lost at first in New York due to unfamiliarity with the streets. Conference organizers and companions helped the author feel welcome and accompanied them on evening walks to explore the city.
