Travel with B: Travelling America - West Virginia to New York

Subsequently to spending 10 weeks at camp I followed this up with some much needed travel time. Having the ability to spend more time in America visiting so many different places is something I am so grateful I was able to do, I met so many amazing people and got to see some pretty breathtaking sights. I will never forget this trip and so I wanted to share some of my favourite pictures and document what an incredible couple of weeks it was.

I began in West Virginia, I went to stay with a good friend I'd made whilst at camp for a few days. She showed us around a few local spots, including this one, Harpers Ferry; this is a very historic civil war town and I loved finding out more about America's history. An interesting fact about Harpers Ferry is that there is a spot here where all 3 states of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland meet.

It was very beautiful and the people were so friendly.

Next up we all hopped on a Megabus to New York City! Visiting NYC has been on my bucket list for such a long time and actually going there felt so surreal. It's one of those places that no matter how many photos you see or movies you watch, nothing lives up to actually being there. It's safe to say that this is one of my favourite places in the world that I have visited; I could happily live in NYC and never leave. It's so vast, with such variation in all it's locations. In the day and a half I was there we managed to squeeze in Times Square, 5th Avenue, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Central Park. (I was however luck enough to come back here at the end of my travels, so look out for more pictures in a later post!)

One of my favourite experiences from visiting the city was Ellen Stardust's Diner! It's an incredible restaurant in which your waiters sing whilst serving, they are all aspiring to be on Broadway and are absolutley incredible!! The atmosphere was magical and the food was delicious.
