PHOTOGRAPHY: Viejo San Juan (Part 4)

I bring you my final photography post (at least from this trip) from Viejo San Juan.  In the last Viejo San Juan photography post, I explored different compositions of the same subject.  In this post, I use the same topic with a new subject at El Morro. El Morro     A photographer challenge For […]

PHOTOGRAPHY: Viejo San Juan (Part 3)

Part two of my photography series from Viejo San Juan focused on El Morro, the historical fort and World Heritage Site in Puerto Rico.  I loved the grounds of El Morro so much and took so many photos that it deserves another post. This time I focus on creating different compositions of the same subject: […]

PHOTOGRAPHY: Viejo San Juan (Part 2)

Part one of my photography from Viejo San Juan focused on the colorful buildings and narrow brick roads of the town.  This second part focuses on El Morro, the historic fort and World Heritage Site that is Puerto Rico’s most visited attraction. Historical forts have never interested me in my travels, but El Morro intrigued […]

PHOTOGRAPHY:  Viejo San Juan (Part 1)

I almost didn’t go to Viejo San Juan. I heard it is very touristy.  And my Puerto Rico trip was about visiting Rease for a couple of days and then spending time alone (well, with a furry companion) to focus on a work project and experience a new environment. I am so happy I listened […]

Boston is beautiful. There is also a lot to see, do, and experience in this dynamic city.  If you only have a short time to explore, perhaps my Top 7 list will help you narrow it down. My Top 7 Boston #1 – Explore the Charles River Esplanade   Whether you join the Bostonians on […]

Pants! #7DayStretch

Pants! #7DayStretch

Yep, this post is all about pants.  Specifically, one pair of amazing pants. I was excited when prAna asked me to participate in their #7DayStretch challenge because I tried out their clothes for travel and loved them. PrAna’s clothes are comfortable, practical, and fashionable, especially for fitness and adventure enthusiasts.  That is not an easy […]

PHOTOS:  Beautiful Boston

Boston has just made the very small list of places I plan to keep visiting. There are so many cities I want to explore that I usually do not return to a place even if I enjoy it. I take it all in.  And then I move on, travel stories and photos as my souvenirs. […]

PHOTOS:  Perfect light in the Bangalore Palace

I only visited the Bangalore Palace because it was close, and so many people kept telling me I had to see it.  I usually get bored after a short time exploring historical fancy homes of rich people.  The Bangalore Palace is different.  It immediately captured my photographer eye, and I spent hours exploring and capturing […]

Dipping a toe into India

Dipping a toe into India

I had never desired to travel to India. From what I have heard from others, India can be a tough place to travel, even for those who have spent time in developing countries. But you never know what opportunity may come your way. And when the opportunity to attend a training class in Bengaluru (formerly […]

Hola! I'm Stephanie. At the age of 29, I started my solo travel sabbatical through Latin America, and this site is where I share my experiences with friends, family, and you.

I write about independent travel and my attempt to live simpler, consume less, and experience more. I hope to introduce you to new places and experiences, inspire you to go out and explore the world, and perhaps provide a little entertainment.
