New York City: Pride Parade (and eating at the famous Sugar Factory)
June is the month for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi, transgender) pride. There are events held around the world during this time to celebrate the pride of people’s sexual orientations and choices and not to be ashamed. These pride events also demonstrate legal rights including same sex marriages. One of the well known parades are held…
NJ: Hiking Hemlock Falls in the South Mountain Reservation (and finding another spot!)
I think that sometimes I really should be more on the move to explore my state more. Having to meet people who visit New Jersey from a different country or state inspires me to be grateful and explore the state that I’ve been raised in. I really do like my state of New Jersey but…
Visiting Pearl Harbor
We have read all about it in our history textbooks. It was an important and crucial time in American History. It happened on the morning of December 7th, 1941. Pearl Harbor, a lagoon harbor with a United States naval base, was attacked by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service. This tragic event killed over 2,300…
Experiencing My First Luau
When you go to The Aloha State, it’s not uncommon to hear about luaus or see them being advertised on buses or stores and on travel magazines and brochures when you pick them up from the airport. Luaus have been a tradition in the Hawaiian culture since King Kamehameha was around and it was originally…

Queens, New York: New World Mall
What I love about New York is the cultural diversity of people in there. You can go to so many different parts around New York and always feel like it’s a different atmosphere, whichever part you end up in. Yesterday, my family and I went to New York to visit my aunt while she is…
Asbury Park: “Bier” night
Last night on Easter, a group of friends and I went out to Asbury Park, a small seaside city in my state of New Jersey but well known for its beachfront board walk and cafes. This city has some really awesome live places to go to, from my experiences of going to Stone Pony once…
Washington DC: Iconic Landmarks in the National Mall
During my spring break from last month, I went to visit my friend Leslie, where she currently lives for her internship. One of our favorite things that we did for the weekend I came to visit was checking out the iconic landmarks in the National Mall. The National Mall in Washington DC is considered to…
My favorite concerts that I’ve seen so far (and my favorite music from the artists)
Besides going on my travel adventures or finding places locally, another thing I like to do, before I discovered I like going from place to place, is going to concerts. If you’re a music lover like me, you know going to concerts are essential and experiencing your favorite artists or music live is an experience…
New York: Field Trip to Whitney Museum of American Art
Yesterday, I went on a field trip with my college that took us to the Whitney Museum of American Art. The purpose of this field trip is to help students explore careers and possibly introduce them to internships while bringing them to places. While I am a museum lover, I didn’t think of going on…
