New York

As winter is arriving in New York City, I am getting ready to leave the cold behind, switching the chilly temperature for Colombia’s hot and sunny Caribbean coast.

We may have saved thousands on accommodation costs, but that’s not what made our Brooklyn housesit such a dream. In this post we give an overview of the exciting things we were able to cram in to two months and what the true gift of this particular housesitting experience was for the two of us.

I came to New York for a housesit this summer, and the owners canceled their trip last-minute. I ended up housesitting 8 times there though – find out how I did it:

Yesterday, Coney Island turned into mermaid central when the annual Mermaid Parade marched down the boardwalk for the 32nd time – an unforgettable summer event!

Upon returning to New York from Canada, I went straight out to the Jersey Shore – which turned out to be nothing like I expected! Check out Sandy Hook’s amazing sunset!

An unexpected trip to our favorite city in the world overlapped with a massive snowstorm, resulting in seeing a beautifully snow-covered Central Park!

Another week in NYC packed with amazing highlights – the Angel Haze concert, seeing The Book Of Mormon on Broadway, celebrating Thanksgiving – and the awesome Museum Of Feelings!

This past week has been one of my favorite weeks of my entire summer in NYC so far! I fit in so much awesomeness in these past seven days that I feel like I love NYC more than ever.
