Hiking in the White Mountains

Hiking during foliage is awesome.

While hiking right now, you´ll see the last leaves amazingly colored on the trees. Passing lakes, streams and the wilderness offers great views of landscape.

For a short day hike to a shelter or a hut, I recommend hiking on the Wild River Trail to the Perkins Notch Shelter. The trail is really diversified including the difficulty level. If it has rained, it can get muddy and the streams are hard to cross but if the weather is nice, this trail is amazing. Next to the shelter is a pond where you can get your water and you can even have a campfire. This campfire helps you to stay warm if you face freezing temperatures at night. Therefore make sure you have good equipment.


So, think of spending one unforgettable weekend in the White Mountains to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature of New England.

Go for a Duck Tour!

Don´t you have much time? Are you annoyed of exhausting tourist activities? But still, you would like to see something special of Boston.

Then, go for a Duck Tour. This unique tour in a second world war amphibian vehicle gives you a great overview of Boston. During a cheerful tour, you will hear some historic details but also see movie sceneries like the ones in "The Departed" or "Boston Legal."

Besides, this vehicle doesn´t only drive on land. It can even move on water. As soon as the vehicle hits the Charles River, raise your hand and you will be one of the few who gets the chance to drive the vehicle on water.


This was one of the best guided tours I´ve ever had.

This weekend, the weather will be nice again. So, if you have to catch up with some Boston details, go for a Boston Duck Tour.

Enjoy the last warm days

Sometimes, work is overwhelming and you are longing for a short trip outside the intense city life. As long as it is still warm, Cape Cod offers a great place to flee from work and stress.

Do you like boat tours? Then take the fast ferry leaving from the Aquarium and head to Provincetown in 90 minutes. Lean back and enjoy the great view of Boston´s skyline. Don´t forget your $10 discount as a student.

Provincetown is a very nice and idyllic harbor town. In summer, it is packed but from September on, it is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscape.

First, you should go to the Pilgrim Monument to get an overview and enjoy an amazing view of the town and all the surrounding beaches.

If you look for some sports activities, you may explore the beaches and sand dunes by a rented bike.

Lots of bars and restaurants are located on the commercial street. If you stay over night in a bed and breakfast place, go to one of the very diverse bars and enjoy the lively atmosphere.

Have you ever eaten lobster before? If not, you can try it here. Near by the sea, you´ll find lots of sea food restaurants.

An amazing restaurant - also for vegans and vegetarians - is the South African restaurant Karookafe. Here, you´ll get great and fairly priced food and beer in a South African atmosphere.

So, until the middle of October the ferries are still running. Take a day off and enjoy the last warm and sunny weekends until fall finally arrives.

Tell us about your experience there!

Apple Harvest Day

One of the greatest things about fall in New England is the foliage. If you're looking to take your annual foliage tour, consider taking a drive up to Dover, NH this Saturday, October 2nd, where the town is hosting its 25th annual Apple Harvest Day and 5K Road Race.

35,000 people will visit Downtown Dover where there will be "Main Street" craft vendors, amusements, music, performances, pony rides, apple pie baking contests and more. You can enjoy the day outside, indulge in some great apple treats, and cheer on the runners in the 5K (something every Bostonian loves to do in preparation for Marathon Monday). I'll be there as a vendor, selling paper beads from Project Have Hope!

Whether you're a native Bostonian or a visitor in town for the weekend, taking a scenic drive up Interstate 95 to Apple Harvest Day is a great way to spend your Saturday afternoon.
