A sunset on Long Island. As always, I'll be posting, in the near future, my travel stories and some tips along … Continue reading 2021: Site/Blog Update
Check out Part One if you haven’t already! 🙂 As mentioned before, I had a wonderful time in Iceland. I met so many interesting people who have lived their whole lives there. Also, I've met people who have immigrated there and have since then called Iceland home. These are some of the people… Adam! So, … Continue reading 2018: The People of Iceland – Part Two
I think Iceland has become a top travel destination. And I imagine that once the pandemic is diminished there will be more tourists flooding there. Before September of 2018, I had no idea what Iceland was or even of its existence. When I first heard of Iceland, it just conjured up scenes from the ice … Continue reading 2018: The People of Iceland – Part One
With leisure travel closed for the time being, I feel pensive about one place in particular: Granada. Back in March of 2020 before the pandemic, I was teaching English in Madrid, Spain. And on one of those weekends, my friends and I took a road trip down south to Granada. We definitely visited the historical … Continue reading 2020: Behind Granada
Happy Valentine’s Day, Folks! 🙂 This post isn’t really about travel-travel. But, I figured today is special since I want to thank God for all the love in the air! During this time, I totally dream of venturing out into the world. However, waiting at home has made me think about what I want more … Continue reading 2021: Happy Valentine’s Day!

Usually, the weather is uber frigid and all. But, Mahal and I had a fun time jumping around … Continue reading 2020: First Fall Snow

The Blessed Virgin Mary. A couple of weekends ago, my mom and I ventured onto Our Lady of the Island, which is a mini pilgrimage and also a shrine for the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus and the mother for all us believers, too. We went there to pick up a statue of … Continue reading 2020: Our Lady and the Saints
A view of Manhattan Wow, 33 years of travel! A couple of days ago, my parents and I celebrated (we've been quarantined together since March) my birthday in the city. And we visited my favorite park: Fort Tryon Park, which also houses the Cloisters. It's a medieval-like structure with medieval art inside, such as the … Continue reading 2020: 33 Years of Travel
A couple of weeks, I strolled through Stony Brook Village with my dog Cookie. We caught the sunset and watched several dog walkers go to and fro while we wore our masks and kept our distances. Life isn't how it used to be since everything went haywire back in March. Right here in the village … Continue reading 2020: Last Day of Summer
