Growing up in a small town in a small state is not as idyllic as everyone might have you believe. Yes, you know all of your neighbors, you can leave your door unlocked (hardly anyone ever really regrets it), and there aren't a lot of city blocks to navigate. On the other hand, your neighbors know your business whether you want them to or not, everyone knows that your door is unlocked, and you're likely to be stuck behind a tractor for a few miles because there isn't always a connecting street that will bypass it.

From London to New York: What I Learnt From a Week in the Big Apple
For my 23rd birthday, I was lucky enough to go to New York for a week - and it was one of the best weeks of my life.

I spent years saying to myself “one day I’ll go if I have the time, the money...” but now I can say I’ve finally achieved it for myself. It was an amazing experience, one I’ll never forget.
