Hi! My name is Julie. I’m always looking around the bend for something new and exciting. I’m here to tell you about my journeys:
I have a serious case of the travel-bug. My home base is New York — from upstate to the city I love turning over every stone to uncover all of the hidden gems in the state. I often day-trip to nearby towns and cities, and travel to distant lands at any chance I get. I love nature. You can find me hiking up mountains or in meadows throughout all seasons, observing the flora and fauna.
“Few people know how to take a walk. the qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye with nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence, and nothing else.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
I love to eat fresh, local, healthy food. I also love decadent dessert. I love trying different ethnic and regional cuisines. I just love learning about culture through food!
“A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into.” – George Orwell
I am attracted to quirky roadside attractions, abandoned places, and generally anything off the beaten path.
I would like to share with you my adventures, in hopes that you too will venture out and find new and interesting things to share with others.
“Respond to every call that excites your spirit.” – Rumi
