Worked in Cedar Point Amusement Park, Ohio

I was on WAT in summer 2016 and it was my best summer ever. I was working in Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. During my work I met so many amazing people from all around the world that I cant even count... I'm glad I made there good friends who were my companions in every trip I went. Every time I had a day off at Cedar Point I rent a car and get somewhere to explore United States. I was in Chicago, Cleveland, Ohio State Reformatory (where the film Shawshank Redemption was filmed). In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania I was at the biggest stadium I've ever seen before - Heinz Field stadium. With my friend we also visited Toronto in Canada and Niagara Falls and we loved it!

When I finished work in Sandusky I went to Las Vegas, and there I begun my road trip: from Las Vegas to Los Angeles via:Red Rock Canyon in Nevada, Hoover Dam in Nevada/Arizona, Grand Canyon in Arizona, Las Vegas (again), Death Valley, Sequoia National Park, San Francisco (we stayed there a few days and I really wanted to stay in that city for ever, it was so nice there that I promised to myself I'll move the someday!), from SF to LA we get via California State route 1 ( the views were incredible). In LA I was in all these fancy places: Hollywood hills, Beverly Hills, Walk of Fame and, of course, Universal Studios.

California is just amazing and I left my heart there...

At the end of my time in U.S. I went to New York City, where everything was a little bit more 'european' and I liked it a lot.

I'm glad I had my camera and took so many photos during my trip. I believe it's just a beginning of my USA exploring because traveling and photography is my passion and I'm going to fulfill my dreams.
