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…

A letter to my roommates (I live with 3 men)
Can I share something difficult to talk about? I love living with you guys. Every moment. Each of you brings to my life energy, laughter, and fun, which I highly value. I’d like to bring up one thing I’m concerned about. Now, feedback is the hardest thing to swallow. I feel that. That’s why I’m…
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…
