    New Jersey has always been a place for interactive boardwalks and their family-friendly beaches by what we call, “the Jersey Shore”, and that’s what makes me love my home state. While I have not explored too much of Southern Jersey’s treasured beach towns as I have by Central Jersey, I…

    Discovering the Oldest Lighthouse in Sandy Hook, New Jersey

    Dumbo, Brooklyn and Brooklyn Bridge Park

    Visiting Superstition Mountain Museum

    Some of the things I truly cherish around my parents’ new home in Mesa, Arizona, which is almost 30 minutes away from the capital of Phoenix, are the endless mountain views you can see not too far including the Superstition Mountains. Growing up from suburban neighborhoods and being raised in…
