New York with Joanne Smith

27/08/2025

In New York, the sun doesn’t just shine-it pulses with energy, illuminating a city that thrives on movement, ambition, and creativity. From the towering skyscrapers of Manhattan to the artistic streets of Brooklyn, every corner tells a story. Colour bursts from neon signs, murals, and the diverse spirit of its people. But New York is more than its skyline-it’s a feeling. It’s the buzz of a subway, the calm of Central Park, and the thrill of Times Square. It’s a shared smile, a dream chased, a moment lived. New York isn’t just a place-it’s a rhythm that stays with you.

One of my other favourite destinations is New York. What a place! The energy of the city is unlike anywhere else in the world.
