Statue-Spotting in Budapest
City breaks and mother-daughter time: a classic combination. Last year, my mum and I were well overdue a weekend away, so we picked Budapest, a city neither of us had ever been before. We spent a lovely few days hitting the highlights, marvelling at the beautiful architecture and sampling all the culinary delights of Hungary. Budapest is a gorgeous, fascinating city, with an interesting history, beautiful buildings and, one of my favourite things, unconventional statues.

Beyond Words. Runner-up in Travel Snaps Challenge. Top Story - December 2025.
It was about halfway into my seven-week study abroad in rural Kenya that I realized I had not journaled a single time throughout the experience thus far. But even as I sat down that very evening, determined to commit some vital memories and reflections to my journal, I knew I wouldn't make much headway; there was a part of me that was opposed to trying to record this particular journey there. I wanted it to remain separate, unique, untouched by my 'ordinary' life back in upstate New York. In the end, I came away with not even one whole pageful of words.

Just 105 Miles South of Key West
A short window of time opened during the Obama administration allowing Americans to visit Cuba for family or educational reasons. To celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in 2017, my husband and I booked a cruise and tour in Havana. My father's side of the family came from Cuba, and I have always been curious about his homeland. Although I don't speak the language, just being there would rekindle interest in my heritage.

a yung pilgrim in London. Runner-up in Travel Snaps Challenge.
I say it often, to myself and my friends: wherever you go, there you are. I mean it in the way that your damage is you, your choices follow you from within, and a new place cannot heal an open wound. London, whose cobblestoned streets I traversed in my mother's red Hunter wellies, did not challenge this platitude in the two summer months I lived there. I arrived sad and left the same. But wasn't it a wondrous, different place to feel the same things, and pursue the same distractions?

The Midnight Madness. Content Warning.
Amidst the quiet hum of the small town of Willow Creek, nestled beneath a canopy of ancient trees, there stood a carnival—an ephemeral spectacle that materialized only under the veil of night. Within its labyrinthine confines, where the scent of cotton candy mingled with the faint whispers of the wind, there lay a sinister secret—a ghost train that traversed the darkness, its passengers destined for a journey beyond the realms of the living.
