💫AFTERNOON STROLL ON THE WATERFRONT✨
Spending the next few days in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) - It was a beautiful day today with the sun shining but it was cold 🥶 (about 45 degrees Fahrenheit). The stroll on the waterfront definitely helped warm me up with a sweatshirt from @nordstrom and a similar jacket from @forever21. A California gal, I’m usually in shorts. But rain ☔️ or shine 😎...it doesn’t stop me from exploring! Today was especially special to have been able to spend quality time with my son who now resides in Vancouver, WA

💫HAPPY THANKSGIVING ✨
.
Truly enjoyed my Brooklyn Bridge stroll. The weather was perfect. Thanks to my @threadandsupply jacket from @nordstrom I was warm over a @uniqlousa vest! Link on my bio 🔝on how I managed to get to this famous icon with just a few hours to spare in NYC. .

💫A WALK TO REMEMBER ✨
.
My last day in NYC was a stroll on the Brooklyn Bridge. I had a choice to go up to the Empire State Building or the Brooklyn Bridge, but I chose to walk on the bridge instead. The Empire State would have been an easier choice since it was literally around the corner from my hotel. But as always I seek adventure.
.
Yes, the subway was an adventure in itself. I literally did a hop on hop off — relying on my @googlemaps to get me to the Dumbo area. I could have asked a local the first time, but everyone on the subway platform seemed so serious or just anxious to get to work. Lol 😂 I didn’t want to bother anyone.
.
As I was reviewing the stops on the first subway, I realized I was going the wrong way. I just had to laugh at myself and stay calm because I knew I would make it to the bridge in no time. .
But hey, I made it! Asked a few strangers to take my photo in case you’re wondering who took this picture. When traveling solo, you don’t have a choice but ask! Lol 😂
.
For now I have to say goodbye to this city that never sleeps!

💫INSEPARABLE ✨

They say you get to know a person when you’ve traveled with them 24/7. Last year was Hawaii... and this year NYC! It was our very first trip together. And here we are again. Where to next @lizzylu65

💫REUNITED ✨

“True friendship isn’t being inseparable. It’s being separated and nothing changes”.

What a blessing to see one of my good friends in NYC. Spent the whole day with her on the second day - We may not have been able to do the things as planned, but we still had a fabulous time! Thanks to the rain 😮 .

💫SQUEEZING IN TIME✨
.
A few months ago, I met @suneetmaan at her hometown in Vancouver, Canada. Today we met briefly in her new home (NYC). It’s always nice to make time to see friends when traveling even for just a cup of cappuccino and pastries! Isn’t she adorable! You can follow her lifestyle/travel blog and IG @the.sunset.diaries.
.
It was such a pleasure catching up with you Suneet! Good luck to all your new adventures in NYC! .

💫REMINISCING MY AUTUMN IN SWEDEN✨
.
I’ve never traveled in autumn 🍂 This was the first! I think I’ll make it a yearly ritual. What do you think? Next trip could possibly be a slight chance of snow. Although it would be nice, I’d love to be able to bike in the city. Needless to say, I’m ready and have the essentials for the cold climate. Can’t wait for another adventure!
.
This @michaelkors jacket from @nordstromrack sure kept me warm . The boots from @nordstrom kept my feet dry from the rain and my beenie from @salvatoreshermosa kept my head warm throughout 😉You can instantly shop my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKtravel http://liketk.it/2H0By

💫MY SENSE OF ADVENTURE ALWAYS BRINGS ME JOY✨
.
Grabbed my camera and my tripod and I was set to go. Hopped on the 9:20 train going southbound to San Clemente. It’s always such a relaxing ride knowing I don’t have to drive in traffic. I could not pass up a gorgeous day! Took some pictures and later met up with my #PIC and her hubby who just happened to be in the area after hiking the coastal trail. Ended my day at a local pub while I waited for the train. Needless to say, I had no idea how my day was going to be... but I sure met some interesting people (one from Germany and the Midwest) just from smiling and saying “hello”. .
I’ll be sharing some tips of how to get around via @metrolink and what to do in San Clemente in my blogpost. So keep your eyes 👀 peeled! I’ve been so behind with my writing... need to get back on track! I’ll have a city guide as well for reference. Do subscribe to my link in bio 🔝- hope to see you there! .
