Are you a theater lover? a TV series and cinema lover? a Bookworm? Are you interested in New York City neighborhoods’ history, heritage, and multiculturalism? Then join me on this trip! How does a 29-year-old Spanish girl, English Philologist, and Kindergarten Educator… grow up to be a Joinmytrip guide? Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes has a year and I want to live defying gravity and dancing through life. I am an English Philologist and a Kindergarten Educator. That means I know about the UK and USA’s culture and literature but I also know how to share my knowledge in an exciting and funny way and how to take care of a group of people. I had an American Literature teacher who shared with us her passion for African American culture and heritage and forms USA’s multiculturalism and since then I am passionate about it too. I am also passionate about musicals, theater plays, books, movies, and tv shows. I speak Spanish, Catalan, English, and German (I was born in Valencia, Spain, but I’ve been living in German and working at a Kindergarten since October, so now I know enough German to communicate with children and adults). New York is more than a vibrant city with lots of things to do and see, it’s a wonderful place with incredible districts and neighborhoods and an amazing history, African American heritage, and multiculturalism. On this trip, we will combine both and we will discover New York’s diversity while we attend Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, and Theatre Plays. Broadway Week (which actually comprises 2 or 3 weeks) is an event that offers 2x1 tickets for most Broadway shows. It usually takes place in February and in September. September 2023 dates haven’t been yet established, but if we look at the dates from previous years, we can expect it to happen from the 2nd to the 25th of September. I have planned this trip for the middle of the month, 8th-16th September, because I think we have more chances and we are more likely to attend Broadway Week. During the day we will discover New York’s districts and neighborhoods (including Manhattan, Harlem, The Bronx, Queens, or Brooklyn) through tours, guided walks, scavenger hunts, and other activities. In the evenings we will attend Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, and Theatre plays, or will do any other plan we feel like. New York is a huge city with lots of things to see and do, and every person is different. I want to create an itinerary adapted to our group’s interests. When I travel, I like to have a plan but I also like to surprise myself and to improvise. So this itinerary will offer a wide range of activities but it will be flexible and will include free time to improvise, go shopping or simply relax. In addition, you will be able to leave the group for a while if you need more time for yourself or prefer to do other activities. You have now seen what to expect from me and from this trip. Now, what do I expect from you? I simply need enthusiastic, nice, and respectful people who see diversity as a richness and who understand that when we travel with a group we need to be generous, patient, and flexible and we need to take care of each other. What’s included in the price? ~ Accommodation in a shared room (female/male or mixed dorm if you prefer) ~ Access to the materials I create for this trip (once we are there) ~ Access to a list of books, tv-series, movies, musicals, and theater plays which take place in New York (before the trip) (we could meet through video call and see a movie together or talk about a book) ~ Access to a music playlist with songs related to New York ~ Surprise activity ~ A nice and friendly guide who will take care of you and will share with you her knowledge and enthusiasm What’s not included? ~Flights (I can help you with that) ~Subway, Ferry, and cabs (I love walking as much as possible, but we will need to take the Subway or Ferry and you can always take a cab if you prefer) ~Shows tickets (optional) ~Tours, Museums, and other activities (optional) ~Food and drink (we will have dinner one night at Ellen’s Stardust Dinner but the rest of the time we will try to save money by going to cheap places or buying food in grocery stores) ~Travel insurance I am looking forward to meeting you and creating our wonderful trip to New York together! If you have any questions you can let me know in the Q&A section!
