Wanderlust: Key West, Florida
I visited Key West, Florida with my cousin Amanda in April 2019. Every time she comes into town, I become a tourist in my home state. I feel like that happens for everyone because the same holds true whenever I visit her in New Jersey. Most people I talk to don’t like the beaches inContinue reading “Wanderlust: Key West, Florida”

After starting in Athens, our adventure through Greece’s Ionian Coast continued.

Wanderlust: Boston
In December 2018 I had quit a job I hated and just graduated from my MBA program. For the first time in my life I found myself free with no specific plans in sight. All my life, I either worked or went to school or did both at the same time. I felt like IContinue reading “Wanderlust: Boston”
Wanderlust: Salem, Massachusetts
Salem came as an unexpected surprise during my trip to Boston. It’s a city I’ve always wanted to visit and I definitely need to go back in October. But I certainly hadn’t planned for it. If you know about my trip to Washington, D.C., then you know I have a habit of getting on theContinue reading “Wanderlust: Salem, Massachusetts”
Wanderlust: New York Revisited
I went to New York again in 2018, nine years after my last time there. Though in 2009, I did a quick day trip to visit a college, so not sure if that actually counts. It’s now been four years since I’ve been, but the city still holds a certain magic over me. And howContinue reading “Wanderlust: New York Revisited”

Wanderlust: Pichincha, Ecuador
The final installment of my travels to Ecuador in 2018 end with a hike near the Pichincha volcanoes. We started with a teleferico ride up the mountainside to reach the first trail. Riding the cable car up the mountain, it’s blue sky and green hills all around. As the ride took us higher, I feltContinue reading “Wanderlust: Pichincha, Ecuador”
Wanderlust: Chimborazo, Ecuador
I left off on Chimborazo, Ecuador in my travel tales. It’s been a while, but I still remember the feeling of triumph. I’m not an athletic person. I like to “hike” in the sense that I can walk for a short period. Sometimes, I can walk uphill. In the case of el Chimborazo, I metContinue reading “Wanderlust: Chimborazo, Ecuador”
Wanderlust: Otavalo, Ecuador
After visiting the village of Cahuasqui, my family and I stayed the night in Otavalo, the major city closest to the village. I’d visted Otavalo the last time I went to Ecuador as well, but this was my first time spending the night in a hotel in the area. We enjoyed the cool summer evening,Continue reading “Wanderlust: Otavalo, Ecuador”
