Getting Ready To Study Abroad Part 1: Before You Leave
It’s almost that time of year again—back to school. But if you’re like a lot of college students nowadays, instead of preparing to head back to your school for another year, you’re getting ready to embark on an adventure in a totally foreign part of...
Finding A Job That Doesn’t Feel Like A Job
This summer was probably the busiest one I’ve ever had. But at the same time, it was probably the best one I’ve ever had. I worked six or seven days each week and somewhere around 15 hours each day, which to most people might sound crazy and miserable! In...
The Greatest View in New York City
A couple weeks ago, I had one of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time. I had the weekend off from work and headed to one of my favourite cities—New York! Obviously I was happy to spend a few days in one of the most exciting cities in the world, but what I...
Valuing Experiences Over Material Things
For the majority of my life, I considered myself a pretty big shopaholic. I would go to the mall every weekend and rarely leave without buying at least a few things. But over the past couple of years, I’ve slowly started to realise that just buying clothes,...
A Guide To The Museums of New York City
If there is one thing New York does not have a shortage of (well besides tourists and pigeons that is), it’s museums! When I first moved to New York, I was dying to visit a bunch of the museums, but didn’t want to pay much money to go. But luckily I...

What Broadway Show Should You See?
The Tony Awards were a week and a half ago, and now a lot of people have Broadway shows on the mind… I know I do! Growing up, my family was always very into live theatre, so I was exposed to plays and Broadway shows from a pretty young age. Then after moving to...
Do One Thing Every Day That Scares You
As Eleanor Roosevelt famously said, “Do one thing every day that scares you.” I just finished reading a book called My Year With Eleanor in which the author decides to follow Eleanor’s wise words and do just that! After getting laid-off from her job...
My Plans for the Summer, and I’m Moving Abroad!
Recently, there have been so many exciting changes in my life. First of all, I left my job at L’Oréal. I learned a lot while I was there, but the longer I stayed, the more I realised customer marketing just wasn’t for me. Plus, even though I find the...Meet Christie
Hi! I’m Christie, a 28-year-old girl originally from Boston who has lived all over the world. I love living abroad and experiencing different places as a local. I have no greater passion than travel, and when I’m not exploring I spend my free time reminiscing on past trips, daydreaming about future travel, and sharing it all here on Girl Sees The World.
