Statue of Liberty New York

I have been to New York well over 50 times, as I used to work part of the month there for a while. I recently visited with first-time visitors which gave me a chance to look at and explore the city through fresh tourist eyes. These are some of the images of sights that excited or impressed me this time.

I grew up in Zimbabwe, but I have been based in London since 1987. My travel life spans more than three decades and that includes more than 95 cruises. In 2005, I launched Tips for Travellers to make it easy and fun for people to discover, plan and enjoy incredible cruise vacations. And the rest, as they say, is history. I have the largest cruise vlogger channel currently on YouTube, with more than 3 million video views per month.
