CNN &nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a recent trip to New York City, Sassy Wyatt stood atop the Empire State Building, the wind in her hair, soaking up the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI heard a helicopter flying by, I heard the sirens, I heard the birds, I heard people around me. I could smell the kind of the grittiness of the air \u2013 where it\u2019s part clean air and part dusty is the only way I can explain it. And then feeling the kind of rattling \u2013 that\u2019s what it felt like, the rattling \u2013 of the building underneath my feet,\u201d Wyatt tells <a href=\"https:\/\/cnn.com\/travel\">CNN Travel.<\/a> \u201cI realized how high up I was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wyatt, who is now in her early thirties, lost her sight completely about a decade ago. The recent trip to New York was her second time in the city. She also visited before she became blind, back when she was 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As she stood at the top of the Empire State Building, Wyatt reflected on the difference between these two trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t really tell the enormity and the vastness of where I was in retrospect to when I was sighted, at 16 years old,\u201d says Wyatt. \u201cI couldn\u2019t tell the scale of the size of the buildings and the vast expanse of what I could see beyond, and how everything got tinier and tinier and tinier, the further away it was. Of course I couldn\u2019t experience that in the same way that a sighted person can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Wyatt felt like she had a greater appreciation of the \u201cessence\u201d of New York City this time round, as she focused on absorbing the city with her other four senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, standing next to Wyatt on her 102nd floor was her best friend, who described the view of the sea of skyscrapers \u201cin her words, through her eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as she stood there, Wyatt had an acute sense of the spirit, the atmosphere of New York. The city felt \u201cfun and exciting and overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience brought \u201cthe city to life to me, in a different way,\u201d says Wyatt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for Wyatt, this experience epitomizes why she loves traveling \u2013 because, not despite of, the fact she\u2019s lost her sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI really do believe that my blindness has actually opened up the world to help me see it better,\u201d Wyatt says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note: Sign up for&nbsp;Unlocking the World, CNN Travel\u2019s weekly newsletter.
