Day 2 after the horrendous Trump Election and America truly feels like it’s about to fall apart. Instead of bringing people together, the past two days have unveiled an ugly side. The monsters have been unleashed and given permission to insult, assault, and hurt their fellow human beings, Read More »
Last fall on exactly this day (November 7, 2015) I spent quite a magical time at the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. It was the late bloom of the fall foliage and wow, did the gardens look gorgeous!Read More »
One of the happiest events in the fall (almost winter) is certainly the one that occurs (almost except for during Hurrican Sandy) every year on the first weekend of November. The New York City Marathon leads through all five boroughs and stretches over 26 full miles. Read More »
After hiking Breakneck Ridge last year, I made a trip to Bear Mountain less than two weeks ago. It was peek fall season, which means the leaves on the trees have just the right color to symbolize perfect fall foliage on the Northeast Coast. Read More »
Autumn vibes – how far we’ve come again!
Fall has been on the horizon here in New York City. When I first got back from a trip on the West Coast in September, the City still felt like late summer – the days were warm minus the humidity but certainly there was still a climate during which you were able to wear t-shirt and slacks.

At the beginning of November a friend and I were still pretty adamant about redeeming our memberships for the NYC ID. We therefore made the trek up to the New York Botanical Garden, which is in the Bronx Read More »
It’s the first day of winter and it has seldom felt so little like winter than at the moment. In two days from now we are supposed to have a Christmas Eve with temperatures in the low 70ies. Just imagine – wearing T-shirt and shorts instead of rolling around in snow on one of the last holidays of the year. Read More »
Our next stop in our quest to redeem most memberships offered by the NYC ID was the furthest destination away from Brooklyn: The Bronx Zoo. I had been here several times throughout the past five years. I remember cherishing some great Wednesdays, when my work schedule was still flexible and I could take advantage of the free weekday the Zoo offered. Read More »
Remember back in May when I was talking about the free NYC ID and all the cultural perks that come with it? Well, starting September I actually realized that I only have a couple of months left to redeem all of my free memberships until the end of the year so I made sure to get on it. The first stop my friend (a fellow NYC ID carrier) and I made, was the wonderful Brooklyn Botanical Garden. The BK Botanical has always been of my favorite weekend hangout spot. Read More »
This fall has been an incredible time. It’s been perhaps one of the most intense past three months I could have ever imagined. Since becoming half-sedentary, starting a new job, and experiencing lots of other things along the way, I’ve been through a turmoil of emotions and reality checks. While most of the year has been about a new awakening, dreaming many dreams, and accomplishing a lot of travel, this time of year was meant to draw me towards the beauty and calm of things here in New York. I want to share so much with you but I see that it cannot be done all at once. There are so many posts waiting, so many thoughts Read More »
It’s been some chaotic past two months filled with lots of activities. As always, this city is crazy hectic and there are so many things going on – it’s quite hard to catch up with everything and everyone all at once.
After starting the new job end of August, Read More »
Today I spent my time in Central Park. It’s been the first real week of spring-like weather. While planning my day off, nature, trees, and calmness seemed like the right way to go about. Central Park has started to carry a special meaning to me ever since taking the Philosophy Course (which I will talk about) last year. From late September through early December 2014 I was Upper-East-Side bound. Read More »
