What to do in New York City


We had two options how to see New York from Above:
  • Pay 40$ per Person to go up the Empire State Building
  • Pay 100$ Each for a open-door Helicopter flight and also see the Empire State from above
Obviously we decided to take the open door helicopter flight because sometimes you need to spend your money on a once in a lifetime adventure. Plus we had already amazing views from our couchsurfing building the Eugene so the decision was pretty clear.

If you decide to go heli flying too in NY make sure to plan over two hours to get to the airport!

There are also some free things we did in New York.

  1. The Vessel: a bronze statue/building you can walk around. This is a cool spot to take urban pictures. Just make sure to reserve your timespot a few days earlier or photoshop it like we did.
  2. The High Line: starting next to the Vessel you can walk above New York traffic on old rails with a lot of plants. In summertime it is refreshing to just sit in the shadow of a tree there and look at the variety of things you can spot in the city.
  3. Staten Island Ferry: you can take the ferry for free every half hour to see the skyline of NY and the statue of liberty from the water







where: New York, NY, USA

Where is my Coffee from?

Image
The package only reveals that the origin of the coffee is El Salvador. Now I also know the farm, the families who work there and the process from the seed to the cup. Thanks to a video deal with Santa Cristina Specialty coffee, Niklas and me were able to visit three of their coffee farms near San Salvador. We got picked up in the morning by our very own driver for the day, Alejandro Flores. He also provided us with snacks, soft drinks and of course fresh coffee. Together we visited the different farms belonging to Santa Cristina. San Luca, San Francisco and Santa Cristina We talked to the families who lived and worked on the farms and they showed us their plantages proudly. On the last farm we were able to see the process of picking the ripe red beans, the sorting of the good and bad, the drying in the sun on the so-called African beds and the weighing and packing. The whole family was participating. Something that really impressed me was the diversity of fruits and veget...

Active in Antigua

Image
We arrived in Guatemala with not really a plan except to visit the Festival de Barriletes Gigantes. Luckily we still had Marion with us who knew where to go. The first night we stayed in Flores, a small town on an island. Thanks to a tipp from a local I searched google for Guatemala's so called 'primary roads' because this are the main (good) roads. Everything else but these roads is basically a dirt road according to our friend. After a long day of driving we reached Antigua which is filled with really cool hostels, shops, architecture, activities and restaurants. Exploring beautiful Antigua 1st of November we headed to Sumpango for the Festival de Barriletes Gigantes. The locals traditionally decorate and visit the graves of there deceased family members similar to our tradition on All-Saints Day at home. Additional, they have the Mayan influenced custom of the Barriletes. The big kites are believed to scar away bad ghost from the graves. Early in the morni...

How to travel plastic free

Image
I started to reduce waste mainly plastic as much as possible when I was still at home in Vienna. I managed to swap single use items for reusable ones and I hardly bought any new plastic items. I promised myself to do my best to keep this up while traveling.     Here is what I have with me: Reusable Waterbottle The most important item in everyday life. In some countries it is easy because you can drink tap water but also in other countries it has never been a problem for me to find a place where I can refill my bottle. Almost all Hotels/Hostel/Camping areas I have been to provide a free water fill stations. Also most public places like airports or shopping centers provide free water. There is also an app called Freewa  where you can search for free drinking water near you. Also check out there website.  Especially for traveling I looked for a very stable and long-lasting bottle which I found at  Klean Kanteen . Coffeecup Very important item for ...
