We spent a week in New York City and WOW was it great. We arrived in NYC just after the Met Gala, so being able to see the Heavenly Bodies exhibit on the first day it was open to the public was pretty cool! Although they wouldn’t let anyone take photos of the exhibit… I even got to live out my Blaire Waldorf “Steps of … Continue reading New York City
12 hours, 2 stops, and few sweaters later, my sorority finally made it to Memphis, Tennessee. On our trip to visit the St.Jude children’s hospital we had a bit of free time to explore the city. Theres this huge Bass Pro shop with a beautiful view and thats a understatement. We paid $10 each to take an elevator to the top of the pyramid (oh … Continue reading Memphis, Tennessee
So in Miami Beach, there’s this really cool art installation called Wynwood Walls. It is a series of murals and galleries and it has a very art deco/ modern art vibe. Here are some photos I took with a couple of the murals! Continue reading Wynwood Walls
Photos from the South Point Pier in Miami Beach! Edited with VSCO E3 and taken on my phone! I love portrait mode… Continue reading South Beach, Miami
So I just came back from DC! One of the coolest and prettiest cities I’ve visited. It’s amazing because every where you go, there’s something historical and theres so much to see. I honestly could spend a month there and still have museums to see. It was beautiful and I would love to go back sometime! Here are a few photos from the four days … Continue reading Washington DC
I revisited one of my favorite cities this week and had an amazing time. I went shopping, had delicious food (I kid you not, I had a crepe every single day and I have no regrets), swam in a freezing lake surrounded by mountains, and even went to a local music festival. It was a great trip and I can’t wait to come back! Continue reading Montreal
This past weekend my family went on a trip to a quaint little island on the Gulf of Mexico called Sanibel Island to celebrate my mom’s boyfriend’s birthday. We encountered stingrays, went on a beautiful (Tandem) bike ride around the island, got up before dawn (yeah it was ridiculous) to watch the sun rise, and so much more. It was also a great way to … Continue reading Sunrise in Sanibel
Israel was one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been to. Stepping off the plane and onto the cool marble tile on the airport was exhilarating. Every moment in Israel there was something happening or some joyous celebration. I snuck out for coffee, hopped some fences, lathered myself in mud, floated in the Dead Sea, stood on top of a mountain, trekked through a … Continue reading Israel
Here are a few pictures from one of the most moving moments of my life. It’s hard to explain the liberating feeling of walking through the death camps again. Liberating because looking around at the thousands of people walking with you is incredible. We marched along the railroad tracks in between barbed wire that was put up to keep us in. Today we marched back … Continue reading The March – Poland
Today (and also yesterday) we visited memorials and death camps in Poland Auschwitz II and Birkenau. It was odd. Not really what I imagined. I had this idea in my head of a dark, gloomy, and depressing place but when we arrived it was too pretty. The artifacts were strategically placed to look appealing and the fields are littered with daisies. The combination of that and the melodious … Continue reading March of the Living: Auschwitz II-Birkenau
