About Me

hi I'm kris

… I’m a Health Coach and a Travel Agent and let me tell you, I am absolutely obsessed with NYC.

By day I work in Corporate Travel. And the rest of the time I dream of New York.

Back in 2008, when I first set foot in the Big Apple, I fell in love. Stepping out of that cab and into the city, I felt like I was home. And that feeling hasn’t faded one bit over the 12 visits I’ve made since then. Yep, twelve visits so far and I’m already planning for many more!

**UPDATE – I just booked my 13th trip for early 2025 *

Now, let me share a little slice of my NYC story with you. In 2019, my daughter won a scholarship to attend a Musical Theatre college in the heart of NYC. That meant a huge move for her from small town Australia to the bustling streets of the Big Apple. While it’s awful having her so far away, the silver lining is that it gives me all the more reason to keep jetting back to New York!

So, why start this blog, you ask? Well, it’s simple. There’s nothing I love more than spreading the joy of NYC and helping others fall head over heels for the city that never sleeps, just like I have. Being there all the time would be a dream come true, but until then, this blog is my little way of bridging the gap.

I hope my insider perspective as a seasoned tourist with access to local knowledge will be just the ticket to enhancing your NYC adventure, whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned pro.

Cheers to making unforgettable memories in the greatest city in the world!
