I love eating out. I’ve always been that way. Everything about it. I love slowing down, laughing over an appetizer with friends, not having to cook, not having to clean. I like going out at night, getting dressed up, looking fine, seeing the night lights. I love the music that plays, being away from my…

Whether or not you’re a Swiftie… respect Taylor Swift
I suddenly realized why I’m so invested in Taylor Swift’s journey as well as her romance with Travis Kelsey. Maybe you’ll relate — As women, Taylor Swift is inspiring. She has risen up to show that women can be powerful and smart and beautiful and sexy and soft and emotional. She represents what every woman…
Israel & Palestine
I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I’m sure as heck gonna try. I know people will critique my opinion. But I believe it is a moral obligation for each person to wrestle with these questions and come up with our own beliefs and ideas. To outsource our thinking to other people is irresponsible….
Oops I did it again… I moved (to NYC)
I love to move. I will say however… Moving to New York City was nearly as big of a culture shock as when I first moved to Ecuador. Maybe it’s because I always loved hispanic culture, and I was ready for it. I was expecting life to be majorly different in Ecuador. But New York?…
How to use Google Maps For The New York City Subway
“If I can, make it there… I’ll make it, anywhere!” I gotta say, Google Maps works really well for the New York City Subway system. However, I got so annoyed when people first told me to use this. “It’s so easy!” They’d say. I DON’T KNOW HOW! I silently screamed on the inside. Like most…
No Need To Buy A Subway Ticket In New York City
Well, at least not a paper ticket. Just wanted to write a fast and dirty run-down of how to use the subway in New York City. If you’re staying around, you can buy a pass. But if you’re only going to do a couple trips, no need to buy a MetroCard. I live in New…
LaGuardia Airport To Times Square For $2.90
Hint: I created a free download that makes this post so much easier to read, with step-by-step instructions. Download it here. I don’t know about you, but I have a rough time with directions. Unfortunately, I tend to Uber to and from the airport. Because I figure it’s more expensive to miss my flight than…
Travel Tip 4: Bring A Scarf
Pro tip: Fly with a scarf. A thick, wool scarf. Why? To cover up for the coughers. Now in the post-Covid world, you can also fly with one of those fancy masks that block people’s germs. (I didn’t need to be covering my eye, I was just being dramatic because the guy behind me could…
Ellis Island
Ellis Island. I feel moved by it. I feel moved by people who would leave everything they know. For the hope of a better future. A place they can work hard and make money. And have a life that was different than what they know. How bad does it have to be to leave? How…
Manhattenhedge
Things are not always as cool as you think. I planned my life around seeing “Manhattenhedge…” a twice a year phenomenon in Manhattan or something where the sunset hits the grid just right so there is a gorgeous sunset spilling through the sky. The internet photos show it like this: from https://www.travelandleisureasia.com/in/news/manhattanhenge-when-and-where-you-can-see-best-sunsets-in-new-york/ This is what…
Finances
“If I can be an example of getting sober, then I can be an example for starting over.” – Macklemore. I love Macklemore (he’s a rapper.) He is talking about addiction with this line, and about relapse. It’s a little less serious, but I’m talking about money. I need to come clean and confess. I…
