  • #Wanderlust | Metropolis

    There’s a comfort that lies in the heart of concrete walls
    Bright lights glitter like man made stars
    A distant hum and heartbeat drums in my chest
    The city at large never felt more like a dream

    I’m wanderlustig again guys. Though I do have my one big trip already planned this year, I have a feeling it won’t be enough to sate the travel bug brewing up inside me. I’m already promising myself to commit to Edinburgh this Summer for the Fringe, but I’m also itching to go to Dublin and I may have been looking at flights to Toronto the other day. Aside from that on the lifetime city bucket list are Chicago, Hong Kong, and Singapore. All home to seemingly familiar concrete skylines but all with microcosms of culture that I’m desperate to visit.

    Do you ever wonder how much time you spend scrolling mindlessly through your Twitter/Instagram/Youtube/Facebook etc. feeds? How many times do you sit there and think, ‘there is literally nothing happening on Twitter’, why is everyone in my feed so boring and vapid, GOD.

    So…cat’s out of the bag. I’m off to NYC again at the beginning of April! This time I’ll be heading with my family in tow, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a serious agenda of places I want to hit up whilst in town. I blasted through my first bucket list and ticked off many of the ‘essential’ places and more when I actually visited (go me!) But as always it’s impossible to pack everything into just one visit to New York, so this time I’ve got some additional places new and old which I’m hoping the ‘rents and le sis won’t mind me dragging them to when we jet set off.

    THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE

    Arguably I did see a whole lot of the Brooklyn Bridge via the Williamsburg and Manhattan Bridges, on a Downtown bus tour and from Top of the Rock. But I never actually got to do the proper touristy thing and walk a c r o s s it. As well as the bridge, once I’m Brooklyn side I’m still quite keen to visit the Brooklyn Bridge Park too.
