A Retro Cab and Night Life in the City
Happy May! I hope you’re doing well in life. Sorry I’ve been off a bit. I’ve been soul-searching, praying, and researching what I should do next. Anyway, last Saturday evening, my mom, her friend, and I hung out in the downtown area, overlooking the east river / FDR and Brooklyn. It was a magical night.… Continue reading

2021: Update: Flying Off to Austria
Thanks for sticking around, Traveler! So, right now, I’m traveling through Austria. I should have boarded a plane two days ago – Sunday! And I’m probably feeling some jet lag right about now.

2020: What’s in a Name?
“What’s in a name?” Shakespeare once said, or at least one of his characters said. The name Susanna has been used for more than thirty years of my life. I’ve taken pride in it now, especially since I own my own blog with my full name. However, back when I was in fifth grade, I… Continue reading

Please Don’t Take My Tree-Tops Away
I always loved trees. They’re all around us. They give us oxygen and shade. And they’re fun to climb. Back in the summer of 2015, I remember that the evening had settled in and my then boyfriend named Shawn and myself at the time were in the parking lot just about to leave from our… Continue reading

The Windmills of Consuegra
The sun finally came out as I exited out of the Castle located in the small village of Consuegra just south of Madrid. Earlier that day, the clouds covered the sky and the wind blasted from both sides. And, along with the group I was with, we huddled inside a gift shop inside one of… Continue reading

2020: Toledo Again
Last Saturday, I took another tour with Smart Insiders and we traveled to Toledo, Spain. It’s one of my favorite cities. The city of Toledo was build on three cultures and faiths – Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. About 1000 years ago, it also served as the capital. Today, it still houses many of the architectures… Continue reading
