Lunch in Bryant Park, New York City
I’ve only been in New York City for a few days and already I’m amazed by how many green lungs breathe life into the concrete jungle.

A Morning on New York City’s Upper West Side
The Upper West Side is the New York City of Hollywood and Seinfeld, and walking around the neighbourhood feels a bit like walking around a movie set.

Walking the High Line in New York City
Walking The High Line is one of my favourite experiences in New York City, and is easily one of the city’s most memorable free activities. It was built in the 19th century as an overpass for freight trains, but today it’s a 2.3 km green walkway floating over Chelsea and the Meatpacking District in downtown Manhattan. It’s a great way to see the Meatpacking District & Chelsea from … Continue reading Walking the High Line in New York City

One Perfect Weekend in Melbourne
Last week, I got coffee with my little sister and her boyfriend’s family from Norway. They were only in Melbourne for a few days and were eager to tick off all the “must-do” sights. “What is the #1 thing you must do in Melbourne?” they asked. I came up blank. Where do you start? Melbourne is not a city with a few “must see” sights … Continue reading One Perfect Weekend in Melbourne
