It’s all about balance! While it’s fun to spend time with friends, family and go to social events, it’s important to have “me” time. Also, a good work-life balance is essential.

There may be times where we want to relax and recharge. We don’t have to travel far if we want to find places in New York that make this easy.

Hudson Valley Town Crowned As One Of New York’s Best Places To Recharge

According to World Atlas, there’s a list of 8 towns within New York state that we can visit for a “Two-Day Recharge”.

I was instantly intrigued because I’m all about balance and wanted to see where we could go.

Port Jervis, NY made it to this list of must visit for a recharge in New York state. World Atlas included that there are drives with beautiful scenery in this area. The Hawk’s Nest is something that I love seeing along the Upper Delaware River. It’s truly one of my favorite views within the area.

In Port Jervis, NY we can also explore the town. There’s trails to walk, hike and bike on. The Erie Hotel, Bar & Restaurant is a main attraction within this Orange County, NY town. The Tiki Bar there is something worth visiting to relax and recharge!
