Day 1 - Arrival in New York
Oct 16, 2025
After weeks of waiting, the day finally came our trip to New York City! Together with other apprentices, we’re spending one month here, working in different companies on IT projects. It still feels a bit unreal that we actually made it to New York.
We flew from Zurich to New York, an eight-hour flight that felt both long and short at the same time because we were so excited. When we finally landed, we couldn’t believe we were really here the city felt huge, loud, and full of life right from the start.
After arriving at our apartment, we unpacked a bit, relaxed, and took some time to get to know each other better. It’s crazy how quickly everyone started to connect, even though we were all tired, the energy of the day kept us going. For dinner, we ordered Italian food (you can’t go wrong with pizza and pasta) and just hung out, talking and laughing about the day.
Later that evening, even though we were jet-lagged and exhausted, we decided to go out and explore a bit. Our first stop, of course, was Times Square. Seeing the bright lights, the massive billboards, and all the people was incredible — it felt like stepping straight into a movie. We stayed there for quite a while, just taking it all in and trying to beat the jet lag at the same time.
We ended up staying up late, but it was totally worth it. It was the perfect way to start our New York adventure, and we can’t wait to see what the next few weeks will bring.
