Saint Augustine
’m standing on a rooftop in
Long Island City. The weather is
perfect. The sun is shining, the
clouds are drifting by. Meters
away a harpist is playing traditional
music from Paraguay. A DJ sets up
in the corner. The BBQ is lit. In front
of me, like a watercolor painting,
lies the awe-inspiring skyline of
Manhattan.
We’ve been invited to this
Sunday get together by a good friend
who wants to share his country’s
national day with his New York
friends. It’s an eclectic mix of people.
There are New Yorkers from New
Zealand. Australian New Yorkers.
Brazilian New Yorkers. A United

thing that connects us all is our
pride for where we come from and of
where we now call home.
In this, our travel issue, we
hope to bring you a slice of this dual
citizenship pride. Whether you’ve
traveled the world or are a gypsy
novice, I sincerely hope this inspires
you to set off on the adventure of
a lifetime. There is nothing in this
world that will teach you more—
about yourself, about tol W&
