and I’ll show you mine. I love people who seem to carry lists of cool places in their back pockets. They are the go-to friends for restaurant recommendations, shopping deals, underground music performances, proverbial nooks and crannies. As a new New Yorker via Phoenix, Arizona – and as a journalist who compulsively takes notes, snaps photos and compiles ideas – I’ve started a list of my own.
Each day, I jot down the coolest/strangest/most thought provoking thing I stumble upon. Most of the time, my finds are right here in New York City, where I’m a freelance writer and professional wanderer. But like any good gadabout, I pine for distant locales, plan exotic trips and suffer the occasional bout of homesickness. Those journeys may find their way onto my ever-growing list, too.
Whether you are a fellow New Yorker, tourist or simply curious about daily life in the city, join me. I’d love to hear from you as I build the ultimate travel guide: The Wander List.
