I’m closing the chapter on NoLa for now, but it shouldn’t be long till I’m back on the city’s streets. For our last night, we went out to Saenger Theater to watch “Dancing With the Stars Live”. I’m both a fan of the show and a lover of dance, so I was ecstatic. Dancing WithContinue reading “Goodbye, New Orleans”

Stunning Sculpture Gardens in New Orleans, LA
An arduous google search through blogs and reviews on TripAdvisor had provided us with a list of things to do in New Orleans. For day 2, I suggested that we visit the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden which is right next to the New Orleans Museum of Art.
Eating Through NOLA: Part 2
Hi there! The city of New Orleans just celebrated Mardi Gras, a huge street party that reminds me of the Christmas carnival we have in Calabar, Nigeria. I visited New Orleans a few weeks before Mardi Gras, but even then the city was ready with decorations in the green, purple and yellow colors that are synonymousContinue reading “Eating Through NOLA: Part 2”
From New Orleans, With Love…
It was still dark when my eyes opened, and my brain registered the blaring sound of my alarm. My phone screen read 3:50 am, the last of four alarms I had set two hours before to prevent the disaster that would be missing the flight to New Orleans. I had never missed a flight (byContinue reading “From New Orleans, With Love…”
Miami, Florida : An introvert’s guide to South Beach.
There are two kinds of beach-goers. The kind who like a shaded, quiet area to read or sleep under, and the kind who come with 20 friends, a Bluetooth speaker, and brown paper bags. Both are there to have a good time, they just have different definitions of what that is. I lean heavily toContinue reading “Miami, Florida : An introvert’s guide to South Beach.”

Top of the Rock: Manhattan, NYC
Hi, & happy Friday, Each time I’m in NYC, I’m only around for a few days. However, I try to squeeze in as much as possible since there’s a lot to see.

Wanderlust Wednesday #13
Hi everyone, Sending happy mid-week vibes to you wherever you are in the world! I’ve been intrigued with today’s location since I watched Anthony Bourdain cover it (mostly it’s cuisine) on Parts Unknown. Do any of you watch that? If yes, we are kindred spirits. On this particular episode, he visited Montreal, Quebec and proceededContinue reading “Wanderlust Wednesday #13”
Eating Through NYC: Part 1
Hi there! If you’re reading this post, just go and get a snack. Unless reading about food doesn’t make you hungry, then carry on snack-less. Every time I’m in New York City, I like to find new places to eat because the city is littered with great spots that serve delicious bites. In fact, theContinue reading “Eating Through NYC: Part 1”
