New York, New York

It’s my birthday in a few weeks time and what better way to celebrate by going to the one and only Big Apple.. aka NYC  (Cue Taylor Swift Welcome to New York….)

I am so excited not only to visit the city but because I will be joined by 4 of my best friends (watch out America)! The last and only time I’ve been to New York was back in 2011 after my summer doing Camp America. Whilst it was amazing, I only had 1 day to explore and unfortunately it was in the middle of ‘Hurricane Irene’ which meant almost everything was closed and I didn’t actually get the opportunity to see, well anything. Even the Broadway shows were cancelled which as you can imagine was totally devastating for me!! The city may never sleep but it does shut down when faced with 195 km/h winds…

Take me to New York!

I love to travel. LOVE it!

The destination I want to visit most changes every week, last week it was Australia and this week it happens to be New York.

I went to New York in the summer of 2011 but was only able to spend 2 days in the city, and Hurricane Irene also decided to make an appearance, so needless to say I didn't get to see and do everything I had hoped to. However the very small part of the city I did get to see was magical, it was like nowhere I have ever been before with an atmosphere that has to be experienced as no words can do it justice.

To me, New York at Christmas time seems like the best place in the world (I mean just look at Home Alone 2!!). Lights, decorations, Broadway Shows, you name it NYC has it. Unfortunately I do not have the time or the money to plan a trip to New York any time soon, but a girl can dream... which is what I have been doing all day, instead of working, but that's not the point!

No doubt my destination of choice will have changed again by next week, but for now I continue to daydream about the Big Apple and hope that maybe one day I will be able to splash out on a last minute trip to one of the best cities in the world, instead of just staring at the canvas on Times Square on my bedroom wall.

If you could go to any city in the world tomorrow, where would you go?
