Visiting Thailand and Cruising the Mekong River

It's been two weeks since I returned from my trip to Thailand. I was ready for a very many things, except for the long flight - I definitely should have prepared better for that (sleeping meds, more getting up and stretching, and more comfortable clothes, for star[...]

Behind the photo: Les Musiciens de Poitiers

It's was July 21, 2014. I remember because it was the Fête de la Musique, Music Day in France, and there were performers everywhere, on every corner, playing music of every kind. I was in Poitiers and remember giggling at the sound of salsa playing along one of[...]

Behind the photos: El Amanecer (The Sunrise)

Every time I visit Mexico I discover something new, or am able to see it in a new way. I have fallen in love with this country, and get excited every time I have the opportunity to come here, because no matter how many times I do, I am able to experience in a way I[...]

Castles and Caves: Exploring the Loire Valley

I have learned a lot from my visits to France. Some of it being how much I so enjoy the countryside. Granted, I haven't really gotten to see too many coastal towns, but the countryside, the smaller cities, and vineyards are my absolute favorite destinations. It's[...]

Figuring Out Where I Belong

For a long time, too much time within the 5 year span of my blogging, I questioned whether I belonged in certain communities where more seasoned, professional writers would gather. At some point blogging shifted away from being seen as this superfluous, casual h[...]

Friendship & Smiles: Photography while in Travel

I love photographing people when I travel. I am also very sensitive to doing so, in great part because having grown up in a touristy Caribbean destination for a portion of my life, I know what it is like to have someone aim their camera at you as if you were an ani[...]

Taking in the sunset by the lake. We enjoy coming Taking in the sunset by the lake. We enjoy coming to the lake much later in the day when most people have left, and when we get to take a dip after a long, hot day to reset and relax. 

Almost 4 years since we moved to the Finger Lakes and I still can’t believe this is my lucky life. ❤️

Thank you Toronto for the fun! This NYC girlie e Thank you Toronto for the fun! 

This NYC girlie enjoyed experiencing a different city, and finally making it to this one especially. 

I felt no pressure to check a bunch of things off “for the ‘gram” so enjoyed slowly touring around and spending time in areas I enjoyed the most. 

For those who have never been, like any city in the summer, it can be unpleasant on terribly hot days, and super crowded in touristy spots, but there are beaches and museums to escape to! People also seem generally friendlier. 

Toronto is really spread out so getting around can take awhile because of traffic, and public transport can get crowded at certain times. Best bet are the commuter bikes or walking - which we did tons of, especially in search of good coffee. There is a lot of good food but depending on where you are, you’ll have to travel a ways for it. 

In general, I found it to be an interesting city, with a vibrant and strong immigrant community, which I loved, and am excited to return and see more someday soon!

In all my years as a travel blogger the one place that seemed logical for me to visit cause of proximity and accesss was Toronto. But I never did. Till now. 

We’re staying in the city, in a home swap through (but not sponsored by) @livekindred and we’re excited to explore this city with the boys, one last trip before college, and see what I’ve been missing!

Antonio, I am proud of the man you are growing up to be and know that you are destined for amazing things. 

I miss the baby you once were because omg, you were the best baby, but I look forward to continuing to experience this journey of growth you are on.

Happy Birthday, Antonio. I love you more than words could ever express.
