Starting at the Top

Hello everyone, my name is Julio, I am a marketing student, musician and an ocasional backpacker, so I am making this blog a blog about traveling across the United States.

The first destination in the states I am going to talk about is New York.


But not New York City as you are imagining right now...

New York state!

New york has humongous sources of nature to explore! And as a backpacker it is your duty to get to know more than New York city!

The first location I would recommend to a traveler, specially if he is coming from Canada, would be
Letchworth State Park in Greater Niagra.

Letchworkth state park has 14,350 acres with amazing sightings of canyons and waterfalls. Letchworkth state park was considered to be the "Grand Canyon of the east".

The state park has numerous recreational activities and accommodations, and as it is close to Niagara and Buffalo it shouldn't be hard for a backpacker to find a hostel to sleep in or buses to travel there.


Now the second location I would suggest to a traveler in New York would be the:

1000 Islands-Seaway

The 1000 Islands-Seaway is a beautiful formation of almost two thousand islands, with many types of sea and land attractions. This place has an amazing natural landscape and it is one of the best spots to enjoy the summer in New York.
