New York is probably my favourite city.. ever. If I could live there for a few years I would. I love everything about it and whenever I go back, I feel at home. A few weeks ago I decided I needed a break, and if I want a break, I have to leave the country. Escapism, wanderlust & all that.
I hunted for flights and when I found some for £350, I instantly booked them. I decided I needed to go alone. I wanted to experience travelling by myself anyway, and in a city I feel so at home, it was the perfect opportunity. I have friends there who I plan to meet up with, but in all honestly, I'm looking forward to being able to do whatever I want, when I want. Sometimes we have to be a little selfish don't we?
I plan to see a show, walk for miles and have brunch in the most wonderful places. Spend too much money in Sephora, watch trashy shows when I can't sleep & wake up early to see the sunrise.
A few people have asked me if I'm scared, and the honest answer is, not at all. I genuinely cannot wait! I've been looking forward to this trip for a while and now that its here, I could wet myself with excitement.
Im going for five days, which I think is enough. Its my 4th time visiting NYC, so I won't be doing lots of touristy stuff. I fly tomorrow and my bags are all packed..
If you have any recommendations for things to do, places to see, food to eat, then feel free to comment below.
See you on the other side x
It sounds exciting! I think you really get to know yourself when you travel alone and it's a great way of getting some peace and quiet. Enjoy your holiday :) X

I'm in the works for planning my own solo trip to NYC. I've been abroad on my own but to an all inclusive beach holiday, but NYC is obviously different plus it will be my first time there! Will stay tuned for any tips you have! x

As a fellow lover of NYC I would highly recommend doing a couple things that might give you a deeper insight into its culture
ReplyDelete1. A Harlem Heritage tour.... Amazing guides a totally cool tours on themes like hip hop and civil rights.
AlternativelyAlternatively theres a museum called the Tennement Museum which gives you a taste of old NYC. .... If all that doesn't appeal there's a place called Mikey Likes It ice cream in Alphabet City... The most delicious ice cream I've EVER had.... Enjoy
New York is a great place to feel at home, I've lived here my whole life and still get lost or find places i have never been to lol. Have a safe trip enjoy yourself !!!
ReplyDeleteSooo jelly! It's my actually my dream to go to NYC one day...
