New York, New York

My travelling days are over, at least for the summer, as I am doing an internship in New York City. I have been here for nearly three weeks now – and I am loving it. I am of course missing the thrills of being on the road, but NYC is definitely not the worst place to live for a few months.

Here is a recap of May and June:
  • Finished exams and left Kentucky.
  • Visited some new states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington.
  • Survived a 37 hour Amtrak train ride.
  • Grabbed coffee from the original Starbucks in Seattle.
  • Popped over the border to Canada to check out Vancouver.
  • Fell in love with lox and cream-cheese bagels.
  • Got detained at the Mexican border due to a missing stamp.
  • Checked out movie stars at Universal Studios, California.
  • Got my bag “stolen” at the JFK airport.
  • Gave up my freedom and started an internship at the United Nations.
  • Now busy saving the saving the world and exploring NYC.
