Instagram is great, except for when they remind you of memories of weddings that you attended with your ex. That's what they did earlier this week. Although I don't miss that wedding or that relationship, I thought I'd write about the cute little town that we stayed in on the Florida Panhandle called Apalachicola (Pronounced: ah-pah-lay-sha-cola.) with a population of just over 2,000 people. I was not in Kansas anymore. To be honest, I wasn't in the mood to be going. Trump had just won the ... VIEW POST
My Experience as a City Girl Visiting Apalachicola, Florida (The Florida Panhandle)
5 Things To Do in NYC This Thanksgiving (That Aren’t the Parade)
Thanksgiving is upon us! If you don't live in the United States, this means nothing to you, but for all you Americans, this means you likely have Thursday off and if you're really lucky you also have Friday off. But it also means that my home, New York City, becomes inundated with tourists who all have one thing in common: they're all looking forward to the parade! As you can see from my photo above, I've been to the parade. Shortly after my family and I moved to the east coast, I was ... VIEW POST
Visiting Graceland: the Home of Elvis Presley
Part of why I love to travel is because I love learning about different cities and cultures, but I also love learning about the people who lived in those cities. For me, this would include visiting Graceland: the home of Elvis Presley. I realized after I saw Zombieland Doubletap last weekend that I never wrote about my experience at the King's mansion while I was in Memphis in April. Why would a horror-comedy remind me of Graceland, you ask? They travel there in the movie, only to find it ... VIEW POST
A Solo Female Traveler’s Self-Guided Greenwich Village Ghost Tour in NYC
About two years ago I dragged a good friend around the village to houses and sites that are supposedly haunted after binging the Bowery Boys’ Halloween episodes. If you haven’t heard of the Bowery Boys podcast, you should definitely go give it a listen, especially if you love New York City and/or history! It’s very, very entertaining and interesting. Our night began with a stop at Cos at 129 Spring Street. It was unfortunately closed by the time we got there. However, there in the basement of ... VIEW POST
The Anniversary of the Worst Vacation Ever
This is the story of the worst vacation ever. Today is also the anniversary of the last day of that vacation. Every summer from the time I was seven years old until I was eleven years old, my best friend Amy would fly from California to my family’s house on Long Island for two weeks. You see, our parents were best friends since before I was born and Amy and her family were in the waiting room when I was born. From that moment on, Amy and I were inseparable (except of course when we were ... VIEW POST
My Visit to the National Civil Rights Museum (Memphis, TN)
When I made plans to go to Tennessee in April, I knew I'd be going to the National Civil Rights Museum for sure. I don't know how you can visit Memphis in today's day and age and NOT visit the National Civil Rights Museum. Not with this political environment (if you're on the right side, and yes, there is a clear right side to be on nowadays). On my first day in Memphis, I took a long walk down Main Street, which my hotel was directly off of, which turns into South Main Street somewhere right ... VIEW POST
