New York

New York was somewhere I always wanted to live, I did it over 2 years and learned so much about myself and this incredible city. Filed in this category are my ‘Journal Posts’ from when I lived there, ‘Round Ups’ from trips since as well as ‘101’s’, recommendations and itineraries.

The ‘On The Way to Vegas’ Round Up

I don’t have a strict schedule like my Mum and Brother so my Dad booked me 3 nights in New York to catch up with the girls before our family trip to Las Vegas.. How thoughtful!

Are you celebrating the 4th July?

I love America. You can go as far as saying I’m obsessed with America. I know more about their sports, politics, history, music… than anywhere else! I even lived in New York!!

Brits who have American friends here in the UK, will most probably be immersing themselves in American culture today: BBQ’s in the sunshine finished with red, white and blue cupcakes and bunting. Fabulous. What…
