Alright, let’s talk about my trip to the East Coast of the USA. I’ve always wanted to go, and this year I finally made it happen. First things first, I started planning. Planning is key, right? So, I made a list of places I absolutely had to see.
Decide where to go
I decided to hit up the big names first. New York City was a no-brainer. I mean, who goes to the East Coast and doesn’t see NYC? Then I figured, since I’m already there, might as well check out Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. All these cities are relatively close, so it’s doable.
Booking Flights and Hotels
Once I had my list, I started looking at flights. I found some good deals flying into New York and leaving from D.C. For hotels, I mixed it up. Some nights I splurged a bit on nicer places, and other nights I opted for budget-friendly spots. It’s all about balance, you know?
New York, New York

First stop, the Big Apple! I landed at JFK, grabbed a taxi, and headed straight to my hotel in Manhattan. The energy of this city is insane! I spent my days walking around, exploring Times Square, Central Park, and all those iconic spots. I even caught a Broadway show – totally worth it! The food scene is amazing too. I tried everything from fancy restaurants to street food vendors. Bagels, pizza, hot dogs – you name it, I ate it.
Boston
-
Next, I took a bus to Boston. It’s a beautiful city with a lot of history. I walked the Freedom Trail, visited Harvard University, and checked out Fenway Park. Even though I’m not a huge baseball fan, it was cool to see such a historic stadium. And the seafood? Don’t even get me started on the clam chowder. Delicious!
Philadelphia
-
Philly was up next. I took another bus – super easy and affordable. I ran up the “Rocky” steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (had to be done!), saw the Liberty Bell, and indulged in a Philly cheesesteak. It lived up to the hype, let me tell you.
Washington, D.C.
-
Finally, I made my way to Washington, D.C. The monuments and museums are incredible. I spent hours at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and the National Air and Space Museum. I also visited the White House, the Capitol Building, and the Lincoln Memorial. It’s a powerful experience to be in a place with so much history and significance.
Going Home
After an amazing trip, I flew back home from D.C., feeling exhausted but fulfilled. I saw so much, learned a lot, and ate way too much good food. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’d recommend an East Coast trip to anyone.
So, that’s my East Coast adventure in a nutshell. Hope you enjoyed the ride! If you’re thinking about doing something similar, just go for it! You won’t regret it. Just remember to plan ahead, be flexible, and enjoy every moment.
