I got the chance to visit 'The City That Never Sleeps' also known as New York! Watching many films and tv shows filmed there, I have always wanted to visit. When I got accepted to go, I was absolutely delighted!
Here are my favourite shots from the trip, which includes Henry the dog!
I have got to say, if I ever got the chance to, I would definitely go again. Going to Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building and also Ground Zero/World Trade Centre, I definitely had the trip of a lifetime.
Many of the people there were so friendly, it definitely felt different than being in England. Their food was stunning, the best had to be the $1 Pizza which you wouldn't expect for the cheap price.
I got the chance to invest in a new prime camera lens for my 700D, which I didn't use due to I needed a longer lens to capture images especially from the top of the Empire State Building. I also purchased some new Jordan's and a Tommy Hilfiger top (which was ridiculously cheap, go to Macy's if you visit!)
The hotel was stunning, the lobby was incredible, although the rumours of the hotel to be haunted still yet to be known. I roomed with my mates from the course, and on the opening night, just drank the champagne I ended up winning on the plane! (Made the trip even better).
My favourite highlight has to be the day I visited Ground Zero and went up the World Trade Centre. I ended up going with my roommates, course mates and a friend from 3rd year. Ground Zero was incredible, due to the emotion that lays there, it makes everything feel more surreal. Then going up the World Trade Centre at night was incredible too. Seeing the magnificent city from the top was beautiful. I couldn't get the best pictures as my camera isn't too good in dark conditions, but seeing it was more than enough for me.
I also visited a few galleries, which were incredible, but I really enjoyed just walking around everywhere, exploring a new city, and getting out of England really was enjoyable.
