Wanderlust Wednesday #17
Hi there! Do any of you ever get the feeling that 50% of your Instagram feed is traveling to one place? Last year it felt like half of Instagram was in Puerto Rico and this year it feels like Cuba. Actually, I feel like every day I open up Instagram, someone new is in Cuba. I…

Hi there, Happy New Year! I’m back and I’m not going to pretend like I never left. Taking this hiatus was three things: difficult, necessary and absolutely unplanned. I hope that your holidays were peaceful, and that the rest of your year is even more so. On my way back to the United States from…

Hello lovely people, Happy Hump Day! “Wanderlust Wednesday” 4 is the result of a good hour and half spent on Pinterest. I’m so enchanted by it right now, that if you woke me up and said “choose an island nation to visit”, you’d hear me say Malta. It might be a bit incoherent but you’ll hear…
Wanderlust Wednesday #3
Hi everyone, Pictures -paper, plastic or on a phone- one thing I love about them is that feeling of being transported to some point in time. For me, my pictures are often a reminder of good times (some of them, amidst the bad). I’d be sad if I lost the opportunity to return to those…
