A month in New York has come and gone and whilst I will be returning home soon I have a feeling that I will be unable to shake my empire state of mind. I was always one to claim my love for Europe and the UK, never once listing the USA on my travel bucket list. However…

New York in a Week

Start spreading the news – I’m in NEW YORK. The city of dreams, the city that never sleeps and the biggest cultural melting pot I’ve ever had the pleasure to be immersed in.
