My Favourite Photos of New York to Inspire Your Next Adventure
I spent a month dog-sitting in New York City over the summer (before heading over to Wyoming) and got to know it better than ever before.
New York is an incredibly fun city to explore. I love how much life and energy is on display here, practically everywhere you go.
There’s a seemingly endless number of fun things to see and do, interesting people to meet, stories to hear, and hidden corners to discover.
Every neighbourhood has its own distinct character and charm. Every street has a story, every view feels like a scene from a movie.
The historic brownstones of Brooklyn, the cosy jazz bars of Greenwich Village, the colourful street art of the Lower East Side, the peaceful corners of Central Park (and Prospect Park!), the hipster cafes of Williamsburg – New York is a giant patchwork of experiences that come together to create something truly extraordinary.
Despite spending a fair amount of time in New York, I feel like I’ve still only scratched the surface of what this amazing city has to offer. It’s a city that never stops surprising you.
Here are some photos from my most recent visit.

Essential Travel Resources
🛏️ Book cheap hotels
I always use Booking.com to find the best hotel deals. Vrbo is great for short-term apartments.
🚗 Find cheap rental cars
Check both Discover Cars and Rentalcars.com to find cheap rental cars.
🌍 Book the best tours
Viator and GetYourGuide have a huge selection of tours in virtually every destination worldwide.
✈️ Find cheap flights
I use a combination of Skyscanner and Google Flights to find cheap flights.
📱 eSIMs
Airalo is my favourite travel eSIM provider – I’ve used it in over 10 countries and really rate it. So much easier than buying physical SIM cards when you travel!
🚑 Do I need travel insurance?
YES! Never travel without adequate travel insurance. It’s just not worth the risk.
• SafetyWing – if you’re a digital nomad like me, SafetyWing is super flexible and affordable. You can sign up for as little or as long as you want, and activate and deactivate it whenever you need to. I’ve made several claims in the last few years and thoroughly recommend this company.
• World Nomads – for adventurous travellers, covers 200+ activities that many other insurers won’t, such as skydiving, heli-skiing, rock climbing, rafting, scuba diving, cliff jumping, and kiteboarding (not available for residents of every country – check here).
💻 Do I need a VPN?
YES! Always use a VPN when using public WiFi (in airports, cafes, hotels, stations, etc.). This helps protect your personal information and also bypasses internet censorship and restrictions in certain countries. I use NordVPN and highly recommend it.
