NYC in photos – Fall 2010

Recently I took a couple of days to just walk around the city. I didn’t walk very far, a bit of Madison Square Park area, a bit of Midtown, some of the Upper East Side, some of Harlem. Not much at all considering the many opportunities there always are to photograph this beautiful city.

I am forever feeling inspired by this city, and consider myself incredibly lucky to live here. Not every day is easy, not every day is fun, but there is never a shortage of adventures and I just love my city so.

I wanted to share some of what I saw with you here. A piece of New York, in pictures.

Good morning. I woke up this AM with the intention Good morning. I woke up this AM with the intention of spending the morning at my fave cafe (@amitycoffeeco) to work, for a change of scenery.

Fun news! @samanthabrowntravels returned to the Fi Fun news! @samanthabrowntravels returned to the Finger Lakes (have you watched her episode on Corning, NY and Southern Finger Lakes? A lot of cool spots are highlighted there, so go watch it!). This time she traveled through the Genesee River Valley (fun fact: the Finger Lakes region is massive. I’ve been traveling to the area for over 11 years, and now live here and there is so much I haven’t seen yet!). Samantha honored me with an invite to join her at the beautiful @linwoodgardens and talk to her about this region that I love so much. I’ve traveled all over the world, and have fallen in love with many destinations. But when we decided to change our lives and move, we chose the Finger Lakes. In this episode, I share why it is so special. She also shares some great stories from some really interesting people here. So, give it a watch! Go to her profile to get the scoop on where it is airing and when. Also, her last episode on the Jersey Shore gave me such a fever to go back! . . . #placestolove #samanthabrown #travelinspiration @visitlivco #fingerlakes #upstateny #iloveny
I was looking for a photo and found these of me sc I was looking for a photo and found these of me scaling walls in a cave in France looking for wine. I was in France’s Rhône Valley. I had been working with France’s tourism board for sometime and my job was to venture, alone, into the various wine regions of France, to meet and talk to winemakers. When I first got the assignment, I questioned why they would give it to me. I knew nothing about wine. And my French was rusty at best. But they were convinced it was going to be great, and who turns down a trip to France? I learned so much about myself during the years I did this. I got lost more times than I can count, fell in love with the French countryside and all the people I met there. My French got better, though I was told it has a Spanish accent. I remember laughing till my ribs hurt often and I learned a lot about wine. Especially how to drink it anytime, with anything. This was my last tour. I had become friendly with one of the winemakers. He invited me to meet him the next day for a surprise. When I arrived, I was greeted by him and his friends, fellow Saint Marcel winemakers. And they were all dressed in rock climbing gear. 😂 I had never gone rock climbing in my life. Next thing I know, I am crawling through mud, under cave dips, scaling cave walls, and hiking along low lit pathways. It was terrifying and exciting and beautiful. Then we got to an opening, and our headlights revealed wine. Stacked crates of them! The winemakers used this area of the cave to store it because of the ideal temps and the adventure to get to it. How they got it there in the first place, I don’t know. We sat on the cave floor and drank and toasted and bonded. It was one of the happiest moments in travel for me. And the timing in finding these photos was so perfect because it reminded me of who I was before this pandemic and all the incredible places around this world that I’ve had the chance to visit and all the incredible people I never would have met if I hadn’t. So today, instead of anxiety, I am feeling hopeful to go back out and experience what this beautiful world holds. . . #throwbackthursday #travelmemories #France #Rhonevalley
Booked our first international trip since….2019. Booked our first international trip since….2019. 🤯 I wanted Europe. He wanted beach and sun. And I wanted him to be happier. So beach and sun it is. Though, I am still a little 😒 about how expensive going to the Motherland is these days. I am nervous. We are STILL in a pandemic. I know we will take every precaution but I’ve seen some of y’all acting like no one else matters. I don’t trust these people. And it is not easy to mentally adjust to walking away from work, even though already one of my team members was like “I gotchu! Go! I’ll be on it!!” And another is like, “You need this!” I preach giving yourself the grace of self care and time away from work. And I started my own business to have the flexibility to do these things. But bad habits are hard to break. Hi, I’m Carol, and I’m a Workaholic. I don’t leave for another month 😅 and I have little waves of excitement, but not really fully yet. I didn’t think the re-entry would be this hard. I am still not even sure this is right to do. But, I know my family will be so happy. It’s complicated. . . . #travel #lifeduringcovid #pandemicstruggles
