First and foremost, please excuse my temporary hiatus. I cannot guarantee this will be the last one over the course of the next six weeks. Over the next month or so, I need to be nearly 100% focused on preparing for my future endeavors. But more on that in another post…

NOTABLE NORMALCIES // 6.21.17
Life continues to be {ab}normal here in the city of lights. And yet, I find a way to normalize my time here in a chaotic, unrealistic way. We are gunning through this year. It is almost the end of June, people. This means I have almost been in New York City for six months. Continue Reading
MY FIRST YOUTUBE VIDEO!
It’s official!
I have put together my first ever YouTube video. That being said, please be reminded that my videographer skills are a work in progress. Some of the shakiness in this video had me feeling ready to hurl.
But, it’s complete.
And all about my adventures in Montreal, Canada.
Please enjoy!

HATS OFF TO YOU, HUMPHREY
Guys, I’ve been doing it all wrong.
And I feel comfortable admitting that whole-heartedly.
Since arriving in New York, most weekends I tend to stay within the walls of the concrete jungle. And each weekend that I do stay in the city, I tend to find myself on an uptown subway into Manhattan. Continue Reading
TAKING THE HIGH ROAD
Or in this case, the High Line.
Can I really go one post without a pun? Nope, didn’t think so. Continue Reading
PLATEAU MONT ROYAL: THE MOST ‘INSTAGRAMABLE’ NEIGHBORHOOD IN MONTREAL
I know I’m not alone when I admit that I rely on Instagram to help me plan the majority of my travels. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a good picture. Now that ‘geo-tagging’ is a thing, the perfect ‘gram’ locations become much more accessible to us.
And so I present to you: Plateau Mont Royal Continue Reading
NOTABLE NORMALCIES // 6.9.2017
I recently received a blog comment from someone expressing disappointment in the fact that it feels like I have ‘given up’ on my blog. Which, I totally get. And somewhat agree with. Continue Reading
CANADA: NORTH AMERICA’S LITTLE SLICE OF EUROPE
Ohhhh, Canada! {Could I really start this post any differently? I mean. No. No is the answer.}
I’m back to writing. And more importantly, I’m back to feeling good about writing. It could be the TBC {total body conditioning} class I just returned from. It could be the piping hot peppermint tea I’m sipping with the windows wide open in my Brooklyn apartment. Or it could be the high I am still riding from my weekend away in Montreal, Canada.
I’m going to go with the latter.
A Quick Guide to Montreal, Canada
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting our neighbors in Canada! True, it was during an American holiday, but regardless I had such an incredible experience in Montreal, Quebec. Sometimes you don’t realize how necessary it is to get out of New York City, until you board the plane and take off into the hemisphere to cobblestoned pastures. Eh? You get it. Continue Reading
MEANWHILE, AT THE AIRPORT
I arrived at 4:00 AM. An all too familiar routine of shoes off, laptop out, arms up. After passing through security, I entered an eerily empty Laguardia Airport. Within seconds, a sense of comfort fell over me. Something I have yet to feel since arriving in New York.
I know this. Continue Reading
