The Best Spots in Cincinnati
Hi readers! We all want to get away, take a long vacation to Australia or backpack through Europe. Although I and as well as many others are big travelers, we don’t always have the means to do so—whether that be money, time, transportation, company, etc. I spend quite a bit of time exploring my backyard (and backyards close to me) and take short day trips visiting each one. I highly recommend doing this and you’ll be surprised at what you find. I will definitely make posts in the future as I share my favorite spots in these cool places I’ve gotten to explore.

A Perfect Day in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Waking up to the smell of coffee and toast was the perfect way to start my day, eager to explore a city that I only heard through conversations with friends. I rushed to send my emails and return client calls, so I could start my journey.

Bridgewater, NS
An hour and fifteen minutes away from the city of Halifax lies the small town of Bridgewater. Emphasis on the small. As in public transit is a brand new advancement, a single main drag to speak of, and the Cinaplex Theatre being the most popular hang out spot for the younger generations. But regardless, it offers the best atmosphere for those looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. With the cozy streets, and the ginormous old multi-generational Victorian homes, as well as the much needed Tim Horton's on the corner of High Street and Victoria Road, Bridgewater is completely serendipitous.

Discovering Florence
It’s hard to imagine Italy without amore — and harder still to imagine Florence, the epicenter of Italian romance, without its legendary backdrops. Indeed, with all her many charms and beguiling ways, Firenze has a way of taking hold of your heart and never letting go.

Santorini, Greece
Hey fellow GlobeTrotters! Below is my full experience traveling to Santorini, Greece. Enjoy! AirBnb: Goddess Lethe I give this place 5 STARS! I never met our host John, but the hospitality was great and the views could not be beat. When we first arrived, late at night, a couple of locals met us at the bus stop and graciously carried our luggage down the MANY steps to get to this place. If you can't handle a little cardio, I wouldn't recommend it. Make sure you have everything you need before leaving for the day, because you won't want to go back down for a forgotten cell phone.

Around Thailand
Koh Phi Phi Here are some thoughts and experiences of an island in East Thailand called Koh Phi Phi. From Bangkok, it is an overnight bus ride far to the south and then a long boat ride to the small island of Koh Phi Phi. You arrive by boat to alight at the end of the jetty to walk through the many Thais hawking for trade and looking for your guide with a sign for your place to stay.
