Heading to NYC? Here are some New York photos for inspiration!
Back in the late 90s, I visited New York City many times. I was so in love with the energy, I moved there. Though I didn’t live there for too long, I still was shaped by that time in the city. It’s a unique place and you either love it or hate it. Here are some New York photos from my countless visits to help you get inspired for your trip. These NYC photos are by no means any sort of great collection, just some favourites from what I have shot myself.

HELPFUL GENERAL TRAVEL TIPS
- Flights: Find a cheap flight using Skyscanner or Momondo. I like these two booking sites because they both search all websites and airlines around the globe including budget airlines.
- Accommodations: I use Booking.com or Tripadvisor to find the best rates on hotels. Hotels.com offers a free night after booking 10 nights
- Get up to $40 off your first Air Bnb stay by using this code!
- Travel Insurance: Having gotten sick on my travels in the past, I never travel without being insured. You never know when something may happen. For my round the world trip and extended long-term travel, I use World Nomads. For other trips, I have used Roam Right and they cover activities like extreme sports.
