While I'm sure that this list could definitely be longer, I am going to go off of my personal experience and recent visit to the city. Largely, NYC's attractions are free and outdoors.

Autumn In New Hampshire: The White Mountains

It's officially my first Autumn in the Northeast and I was so excited to experience this true changing of leaves accompanied by colder weather. I was staying in Boston at the time, but we decided to take a day trip to New Hampshire to the White Mountains to go on a day hike. From Boston, it was a two-hour trip. For those of you who have never heard of the White Mountains before, it is a mountain range covering about a quarter of the state of New Hampshire and a small portion of western Maine in[...]

Day Hike Outside DC: Great Falls

Located only 15 miles from the US Capitol is Great Falls. It's a great day hike that lets you unwind from the city life and connect with the outdoors. What I really enjoy about the hike is that the trails run right along the Potomac River so there was a great view the majority of the hike. I went with some friends from college, so it was 3 miles of good company. NOTE: Getting to Great Falls is a $20 admission fee. We discovered a little trail off the main one and hung out in a rocky secti[...]

Visitors Guide To Washington D.C.

Just a heads up, I am no expert when it comes to the D.C. area, but I can definitely share some things along my journey that helped along with some fun things to do. STAY In regard to an ideal neighborhood that is close to the National Mall and steps away from the Capitol Building, I highly recommend staying in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The neighborhood is very nice and safe. Per my budget, we stayed at a decent Bed & Breakfast in the Capitol Hill neighborhood that was around[...]

What was once a maritime forest, is now a sandy shoreline with weathered branches and fallen trees. You can visit the official Jekyll Island website, here. Getting There Since I was heading north from Florida, I took the exit off of 95. Making your way from the exit to[...]
