Age Quote by Ari Marcopoulos

“I had visited New York at age 12, and I loved the big buildings and the swarms of people. At 23, I decided to try it. I was going to go for six months, and I ended up living there for 18 years before I moved to California, so I am living the American Dream.” quote by Ari Marcopoulos — Download Open image
