Cities I Am Dying To Revisit

Cities I Am Dying To Revisit

by Girl Sees The World | Jun 8, 2015 | Europe, Germany, Italy, North America, Portugal, Spain, Travel, UK, USA

I have been so fortunate in my life and have had the opportunity to travel to a ton of cool places—more than your average 23 year old! While I am always on the look-out for new places to explore, there are a bunch of cities I am hoping to revisit over the next few...

Meet Christie

IMG_7222

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.

Statue of Liberty hack: You could pay the admissio Statue of Liberty hack: You could pay the admission fee to visit Liberty Island and see the statue up close (like in the first photo). Or hop on the free-to-ride Staten Island Ferry which takes you right past the Statue of Liberty (and offers up some awesome skyline views too!) 🗽 . Swipe to see ‘02 Christie and Lexi at the Statue of Liberty 😄
A tribute to the beating heart of NYC — Broadway A tribute to the beating heart of NYC — Broadway 🎭 . I’ve never been anywhere that does theatre quite as well as New York. (London’s West End is a close second but still not on the same level.) The talent is incredible, and there are new shows debuting all the time meaning there’s always something new and exciting to see. . Broadway tickets can be expensive, but it’s also possible to find really good deals. You can purchase heavily-discounted same-day tickets from TKTS, enter ticket lotteries, and purchase student rush tickets if you can show a student ID. You can even luck out on cheap tickets to some of the most popular shows! For example, I saw “Book of Mormon” for just $27 back in 2015! . Another fun tip: wait by the stage door after the show. Cast members often hang out to chat, sign playbills, and take photos! I was able to meet Paul Rudd, Michael Cera (who was just as sweet and charming in person as he is in movies), and Darren Criss (who when I said “You were awesome!” he replied with “YOU’RE fucking awesome!” 😄) . I’ve been really lucky to see so many Broadway (and a few Off-Broadway) shows, both as a visitor and an NYC local. In case you’re wondering which ones I’ve seen, these are the shows I’ve been to in New York (I’ll try to go in chronological order and hopefully I’m not leaving any out!): . Next to Normal • The Fantasticks (Off-Broadway) • Grace • Newsies • This Is Our Youth • You Can’t Take It With You • It’s Only a Play • Kinky Boots (one of my faves) • If/Then (another favourite) • Disenchanted (Off-Broadway) • On the Town • Book of Mormon (a favourite which I’ve also seen in London) • Clinton (Off-Broadway) • A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder • Fuerza Bruta (Off-Broadway) • Something Rotten • Hedwig and the Angry Inch • Jersey Boys . Swipe to check out my Playbill collection 👍🏼

Looking out over the Concrete Jungle 🏙 . These Looking out over the Concrete Jungle 🏙 . These are NYC’s two most famous viewing platforms, the Empire State Building and the Top of the Rock. Both have beautiful views, but Top of the Rock is the one I’d most recommend because you get to see the Empire State Building in the skyline and also get a nice view over Central Park 😎 . Photos 1-3 were taken at Top of the Rock and number 4 is the Empire State Building view. Which one do you like best?

Heading closer to home for my next destination hig Heading closer to home for my next destination highlight... New York City 🗽 . I first visited New York in the summer of 2002, then went back several more times throughout my childhood, teen, and university years. Then after graduating in 2014, I made the move to the Big Apple after being offered a full-time marketing internship with a major company in the beauty industry... a position many people would see as a dream job but a cut-throat environment I like to compare to The Devil Wears Prada 😂 . I eventually left New York to move across the world to Australia. Although I didn’t like my job there, I had a lot of fun times and NYC is still one of my favourite places in the US. Come along as I virtually relive my experiences in the city 🏙 . P.S. This is the rooftop bar at 230 Fifth. It gets really busy, but it’s got to have one of the best rooftop bar views in NYC!

I came across this little lactose-free gluten-free bakery down a side street in Marseille with plenty of vegan options. This chocolate tart was just 👌🏼💕 Another good @happycow find 😊 @labolapepite
