Hi, My name is Mickey. I live in Edison, New Jersey about 40 mins train ride from New York City (Manhattan).

I work in IT in New York City (Manhattan) near Times Square and am familiar with NYC sight-seeing places and things to do.

There are so many beautiful places to see in NYC that don't cost any money and are not tourist traps. I am making a list of them now and will post it once the list is ready.

Please contact me if you need any guidance, tips, suggestions regarding things to do and places to see in NYC. I can guide you both on tourist places as well as non-tourist places in NYC. If you are already in NYC or NJ, we can meet-up for tea/coffee to chat, hang-out and sight-see.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Woke up at 2 am in Maui, Hawaii to drive to the summit of Haleakala volcano/mountain to view the sun-rise. The star-gazing was one of the best and sun-rise was just outstanding. The elevation of summit is approx. 10,023 feet and temperature is atleast 30 degrees less than at sea-level. It was one of the most magical, divine and eternal experiences of my life. At the summit, I also saw the rare Haleakala Silversword plant that grows only within a 250 acre area on Mount Haleakala.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe in learning something new everyday. would like to learn different languages like spanish, french, italian, etc. would also like to learn to play different musical instruments like guitar, keyboard, etc.

Always share with others. especially knowledge and information.
