Cities

Coney Island is the perfect night for a warm summer night – spend some time on the beach, stroll along the boardwalk, and watch the fireworks on Friday night!

I am looking back at the past four weeks, which I spent in New York City and Upstate New York, celebrating Thanksgiving, my birthday and so much more!

I experienced my first real blizzard this week, when I returned to New York. Within hours, the city was covered in 10 inches of snow – what an amazing spectacle!

The only thing that got me outside this week was my daily running challenge! I’ve deliberately chosen some of New York’s most scenic running routes – including stunning sunsets!

Even though my return to New York has been more stressful than expected, I was able to enjoy the tail end of cherry blossom season in the Botanic Gardens…

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!

This week’s Polaroid features a spot in New York City that most visitors don’t make it to: The wonderful Sculpture Garden at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine on the Upper West Side.

When I needed a break from the hectic life in New York City, I opted for Sandy Hook, a beach-filled peninsula along the Jersey Shore. The pristine beaches are pure bliss!

Check out my favorite running routes in New York, including distances & difficulty, where to train for the New York Marathon and what’s my new favorite running gear brand!

We never meant to start our globetrotting adventure in Las Vegas. A series of random circumstances led us to start in Sin City, but after three and a half cold & rainy years in England, the sweltering and sunny Nevada desert seemed the perfect kick-off for our around-the-world journey.

Neither of us are any good at gambling, and with no desire to lose all our savings to slots and booze, we set out to explore how to enjoy the city of Vegas beyond the sin.
