Inspired by the overwhelming desire to procrastinate my packing for college, and my love of travel I decided to frame the places I’ve been to hang up in my room at school. It just so happens that this can be a penniless craft! I bought this frame fairly recently, but the great thing is that … Continue reading
One of the most interesting things I discovered about New Orleans during my visit, was that there is this wonderful paradox of the city.It is both the most lively, colorful, exuberant place and simultaneously it is surrounded by death and loss, whether in the many graveyards around the city, or in its, often dark, history. … Continue reading
Here’s the picture: I took this in 2007 of the rooftops in Barcelona. And now for my favorite posts this week! 1. Something’s Occuring: Uluru via Alice Springs! by You Bloody Tourist… I was immediately drawn to this post because it gave me my first lesson in just how massive Australia is! Feeling very uninformed, … Continue reading
The bright colors, the delicious food, the carnival games, the quick Italian shouted across the streets. These are just a few of the many reasons to go to a Italian Feast or Procession in Boston’s Italian North End. Really, anyone who cares for food at all would put the North End at the top of … Continue reading

I went with my family to Green Fest yesterday because my sister and I are Disney Channel junkies and couldn’t pass up a chance to meet the up-and-coming Disney Channel stars of “Kickin’ It,” who were signing autographs. I … Continue reading
You’ve probably heard of the incredibly wealthy J.P. Morgan before, but perhaps you haven’t heard of Pierpont Morgan (his son, and possessor of my favorite snooty and cliched rich-guy name). While good ol’ dad was the one who began the tradition of collecting rare books and pieces of art, Morgan Jr. was the one who opened up Morgan’s library and galleries to the public in the 1920s, and, boy, am I glad he did.

My photo of Honolulu Harbor has been selected as a contender for Travel Photo of the Year on Bucket List Publications!! I could not be more flattered or excited. Leslie Carter, the woman behind the blog, is a huge inspiration to me and I still can’t believe my picture is on her page. Please … Continue reading
Flying Horses was always our favorite place to go on Martha’s Vineyard when we were little and it’s still a great place to visit, as America’s oldest carousel. Like all good old carousels there is a gold ring to grab and if you get it you get a free ride! The price is a little … Continue reading
So there are a lot of Titanic-related places you can visit in the world, but one that I don’t think a lot of people think to go is the graveyard in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This is the final resting place for many of those who died as the ship sank. They were retrieved by sailors … Continue reading
