This has been a great year for travel...food...friends...family...and life in general. Here's some of the things I've been up to.
Note: 1) Though I don't want to talk about anything school related, I am in the middle of finals, so this post is measly. 2) I don't upload my photos quickly, so posts will often be old news...for now.

NY was an amazing experience. This was my first time to the Big Apple and I was lucky enough to go twice a month apart.
(More on NY later)

I took a short trip back to the PNW in July. Though beaches and sunny skies aren't bad to look at all day, I do miss the uniquely tree-lined PNW views.
More to come, stay tuned.
