Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.

Los Angeles to Seattle
A few weeks ago I took a trip to Vancouver, WA to surprise my best friend for her graduation. That part was really fun. I then decided to stay a while longer visiting Seattle, which took three hours by train. The sudden change in atmosphere was kind of overwhelming, and here are just some things I noticed while I was visiting.

Must See Places Whilst Visiting Manhattan
One World Trade I tend to start my visit with all the cool things downtown. The One World Trade Center is so mesmerising, and if you head down there early morning the sunrise reflecting on the glass panels gives it a beautiful shine.

New York, New York
This was, by some margin, the longest trip I’d made for a few days away. A city which sums up Western culture, New York was next on the list of travels.

The Actual Best Way to Explore San Francisco
I have seen countless articles titled "How to do San Francisco in 48 Hours" and "What You Have to See in San Francisco." But, if you're anything like me, you feel like many of these articles are missing a big hint of what they all say they have: adventure.

Small Town Girl’s Travel Guide to NYC
I grew up in the middle of nowhere in South Dakota. You know the state that you had no idea people lived in? Where my graduating class was 13 people. Where you had to drive 60 miles if you wanted fast food. Yep. That was my life. Now, as a 24-year-old young professional in the real world, I have decided to pursue travel writing. I had my first trip to NYC, my first trip to the upper East Coast in general, and I can say I was more than nervous. The least of my worries was the harsh winter weather. As I flew into the airport, I thought about all the things I thought I knew about New York: Time Square, Lady Liberty, Central Park, the small spaces, the city that never sleeps, the depressed people. What I came to discover was some things weren’t quite what they seemed, and some were extremely accurate. Here is NYC at a glance from a young Midwestern girl:

The State That Disappeared
Do you keep up with the news? How engrossed is our society into social media? We have access to the world at the fingertips of our hands, yet we know so little about so much. What if I were to tell you that 80% of your state is starting to disappear around you—would you keep up with the news then? If you haven’t kept up with the news, let me fill you in.

Culture Shock in My Own Country
After spending about three years living abroad in South Korea, moving back to Massachusetts was easier than I expected. I mean, of course it was strange at first. I could understand the conversations occurring around me, I instantly took my shoes off when I entered a house, and I became lazy again—driving anywhere and everywhere, even to stores I could easily walk to. But, I lived abroad in a city and I came home to a city and I feel as if that was helpful enough in ridding myself of any culture shock. After a few months of being home, I decided it was time for a new adventure. I have this habit of throwing myself into new environments and situations and hoping that I’ll float instead of sink.

From London to New York: What I Learnt From a Week in the Big Apple
For my 23rd birthday, I was lucky enough to go to New York for a week - and it was one of the best weeks of my life. Growing up I’ve always dreamt of travelling through the US, going to as many states as possible and the first on my list was New York. I spent years saying to myself “one day I’ll go if I have the time, the money...” but now I can say I’ve finally achieved it for myself. It was an amazing experience, one I’ll never forget.
