Bike-packing
Bike-packing... sounds pretty miserable, right? I mean, biking hurts your legs more than walking. Why would I want to load up a bike and hit the road for miles of unbearable leg pain? If you have the chance to overlook the leg pain, you will be in for one of the the best rides of your life and a new hobby that will take over your every thought.

Below is a guide to the best form of exploration.

Being sporadic is great, but I wish I had done some of these things before that trip to make it more financially viable and also so I could have stayed longer!

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. Growing up I’ve always dreamt of travelling through the US, going to as many states as possible and the first on my list was New York.

I hated bringing so many bags because they were a total pain to drag them through the airport and around campus.
