While I was in New York, my friends and I always made the effort to walk to our destinations so we could soak up every second of the concrete landscape towering around us. Every time we had the opportunity, we would plan our path to our destination so we could walk through Central Park. Aside from the beautiful trees and the lush greenery in Central Park, some of my favourite moments include seeing all the happy dogs getting taken for walks, the quietness of the park early in the morning, watching the squirrels, seeing the contrast of buildings against the trees and having the feeling in some moments that you weren’t in a city at all.
