This summer, I landed up in the Boston area, both excited and nervous. This was no ordinary trip or work assignment. It was the culmination of a journey that began 2.5 years ago – an academic pursuit at one of the world’s oldest academic institutions, Harvard University.
During this last phase of my Master’s in Sustainability, I lived the student life in Somerville, frequented Harvard Square for lectures and research discussions, explored the urban forests and parks of Boston, followed the strong ‘buy local’ movement in Cambridge, sampled vegan-friendly cafés and restaurants in the Boston area, and experienced Boston’s unique 4th of July (Independence Day) celebration!
I was visiting Boston for the first time, and found it surprisingly hard to find credible recommendations online. So I decided to create this Boston travel guide on where to stay (both for tourists and short-medium term stays), and interesting things to do in Boston.
