If you’ve never walked around a cemetery just for the fun, exercise, or beauty of it, you should give it a go. If you’re in Copenhagen Assistens Kirkegård [Kapelvej 4, 2200 København N, Denmark] is a perfect place to start. There’s nothing creepy about being in a cemetery, it’s simply […]

Bright vibrant colors of beautiful blossoms galore! The University of Copehagen Botanical Garden [Øster Farimagsgade 2B, 1353 København K, Denmark] is a must see for naturalists visiting the city. The park is free to visit, and a stop at the wondrous glass conservatory is a great beginning. Just a note, […]

To take something old and discarded and breathe new life into it is no easy task, but a labor of love. That is what happened at the High Line Park in NYC, opened since 2009, which quickly became a top attraction. The elevated rail track was built in the 1930s […]
New York is a fine state that holds many claims. New Yorkers love to boast about having the best pizza, the best bagels, the best city, and the list goes on. We go even further, trying to grasp for whatever we can. Last summer I visited the ‘grand canyon of […]
By car it takes just under six hours to make the trip from San Diego to Tucson. Six hours is quite a chunk of time, especially to spend driving on a relatively short vacation. Some people said that the trip would be boring, and asked ‘why would you want to […]
Overview I am lucky enough to have traveled West this February with my best friend, my amazing Mother! We flew into San Diego and road-tripped to Tucson. It was an amazing experience. This is an overview of the cities we spent time in: San Diego was such a charming city […]
Have you ever been to the Museum of Natural History in the city? There are so many different museums in Manhattan, but this is certainly one of the most well known and elaborate ones of them all. If you enter through the subway you begin your journey with a beautiful […]
Nyack Beach State Park is a fantastically beautiful trail to hike in the town of Nyack, upper Westchester. My mother and I have hiked it on thanksgiving, Christmas, and in all seasons it never disappoints (there is a seasonal charge, but if you have the Empire Pass it is free […]
On my last visit home I took a walk about Hart’s Brook Preserve in Hartsdale, Westchester with my Mom. The snow coverage wasn’t so bad making for a relatively easy hike. There are many different loops to take, some with a bit of elevation than others. My favorite took us to a […]
I had a great time in the Catskills the other day with a friend meandering about roads watching the leaves change their colors. First stop was Kaaterskill Falls for a worthy little hike. The lower trail begins with Bastion Falls, and leads you to the bottom of NY’s tallest two-tiered […]
I took a hike in Skidmore’s North Woods in Saratoga Springs and enjoyed some beautiful nature and surprising art! If you walk the perimeter of the woods I would guess you get about 2 miles including some peaceful ups and downs. Not too many people on the trails, but I saw […]
I visited the Katonah Museum of Art, a small but interesting place in Katonah. The exhibit was on Iceland and they included two galleries and a video. The galleries included art work of the flora in the land and topography maps. There was a sculpture made from collected junk from […]
If you are up for taking a nice cruise down the thruway, I’ve got a place for you to visit. Storm King Art Center is a huge sculpture park with some pretty impressive pieces. This park is set in a natural scene with rolling hills, a creek, and wildflowers. It […]
I’m a sucker for a good sculpture park. The Circle Museum in Austerlitz has some pretty interesting work strewn about in a gorgeous country setting. Some are very abstract containing everything but the kitchen sink, some are more realistic and look like birds or other things, and most have a […]
