Lyon was home for a solid two weeks when I was studying abroad for grad school. I'm not sure where I picked up the philosophy from, but every new city I go to, I try to find the Birdseye view and memorize the map of the city. I find it centers me and lets me appreciate the city from a different point of view.

Governor's Island, New York

A 172 acre island just minutes away from Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Lucky for visitors, the accessibility and proximity to major attractions makes this haven a must see. It boasts miles of car-free paths for walking and biking.
