Sometimes the best part about living in the city is the getting away from it. A change of pace from the sardine subway rides, high priced city living, and fast paced hustle and bustle. This past weekend I had the pleasure of making my summer getaway out of the big apple and headed west. Much like the art of feng shui, a road trip away from city living helps refresh and reenergize oneself for the coming challenges he or she faces. It may sound oversimplified, but I think we all tend to appreciate things more from a distance, the city included.

Most likely you’ll begin your trip with wonder and excitement, slowly you’ll become accustomed to life on the road, and finally find yourself missing the sight of tall buildings and inner city pressure. So my advice is pick a weekend or even a day and set out for a quiet and distant land to help put the reset button on your love of city living and leave you with great memories of your getaway.
