sometimes living in new york can feel like too much. i like to be reminded that little towns surrounded by nature exist too. and it’s nice to go with someone you love :)
sometimes there are small towns 30 minutes to an hour out from you that are waiting to be discovered!! just take a day trip to a town nearby and explore all it has from its local mall, cafes, bookstores, even to the parks that deserve a bit more local love! it’ll be worth the gems you find :)
this is something i should do much more of. every time i visit another city i scope out the best spots, hit all the sights, and pack in my days with fresh experiences. once u live somewhere for a while u just kinda stop being excited and fall into a routine. there are still so many things i haven’t seen in nyc, and probably will never see, because 90% of my time is spent in my own neighborhood. be a tourist in your own city
