NYC boasts a diversified array of countless cuisines, artistic experiences, and adventurous excursions. The city never sleeps, so you shouldn’t either.
Hike, take in the views, soak up the sun at the beach, and stroll through one of the many amazing art museums that the city has to offer, or shopping at the boutiques in downtown.
It’s true what they say: Paris’ famous Baroque architecture, lush gardens, overflowing museums, rich food, and inspiring music incites an emotional response in most anyone who walks the city’s central streets.

The best part of a road trip is coming across the unexpected twists and turns that land you somewhere off the beaten path and beyond your itinerary. It’s pulling off on the side of the road to snap photos of the sunset across the lake, or veering off into a back road that leads you to a charming town you never knew existed.

At the end of the day, the best reason to travel is to push your boundaries, expand your mind, and embrace unfamiliar surroundings. Whether that means the thriving metropolis of Hong Kong or the sprawling beaches of New Zealand, the only way to truly grasp the beauty of the world is to see it from someone else’s point of view. You’ll taste food you’ve never seen on a menu, step foot in buildings you never knew existed, and meet friends you wouldn’t cross paths with anywhere else. They say that travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer, and this trip will leave you the richest of them all.
