I'd love to share with you a few of my favorite places and activities. Vermont is known for its seasons (quick shout out to the autumn foliage), but you can always find something to do. Each season has its own outdoor activities, such as skiing and snowshoeing, or mountain biking and hiking. Everything from a day on the lake, to picking apples and touring the maple farms. And there is no lack of indoor activities since winter tends to be almost half of the year. You can find everything from indoor rock climibng to golf simulators.

Ok we just got back from 3 weeks in Japan and learned a TON! These are some of our favorites, from places to stay to things to do.

There’s so much to do in NYC! My favorite things to do in the city are: (1) to eat (see below for my foodie guide), (2) go to a broadway show (the TKTS stand has great discounted tickets – and I personally pick the shows I want to see based on the cast), and (3) walk around and explore the different neighborhoods! Each neighborhood has its own charm – I particularly love Chelsea (you can walk the highline and get something to eat at Chelsea Market), Nolita/Soho/Little Italy (which are all in walking distance of each other), and there’s nothing like walking around central park (with a stop at the Plaza Hotel or Columbus circle). It’s touristy, but I love 30 Rock (get something from Magnolia bakery while you’re there), and if you’ve never done the tour it’s fun to see the SNL set and hear from a real NBC page! Obviously, Columbia has a beautiful campus but unless you’re venturing uptown there isn’t that much else to do there. Brooklyn is its own magical world (and each neighborhood there is different too - Brooklyn Heights is bougie and beautiful, Williamsburg is hipster AF, and generally the pizza is the best in Brooklyn). But my favorite part about living in NYC was that chances are if you see a cool pop up or random event happening on instagram/social media, it’s happening in New York and you can be a part of it! Eater and Thrillist are two places that share these types of events.
