A Three Day Guide to Boston

A Three Day Guide to Boston
Whilst I found New York City really exciting, and Buffalo was much more interesting than I’d expected, Boston was my favourite of the three cities that I visited in the USA.

I was slightly intrigued as I knew some of the things I’d be doing, but not everything. One of the great things about visiting a friend in a certain location rather than just going to see the place is that you will usually get to see local’s spots, rather than just tourist locations. You are also part of their life for that weekend so end up doing things you might not usually do – which was certainly the case when I went to see Chloe. View Post

Cambridge clearly has a distinct set of characteristics (beyond being incredibly flat!), which are very obvious to those who live there. View Post
