Touristing

"I've always felt like a tourist, because I have never fit in anywhere."   Augusten Burroughs

Traveling brings out my inner tourist. I am unabashed about touring well-known attractions. I find them both exhilarating and exhausting. But, I also like to deviate from the norm and seek novel adventures. It may be dinner from a local chef, or exploring lesser-known local gems.  In preparation for my trip to Paris, I found the website www.vayable.com.  This website allows you to book unique travel experiences in a variety of cities. I chose to take a walking photography tour in Paris, and it was well worth the money.  I am absolutely smitten with my photographs!  Vayable.com offers everything from graffiti tours in LA, bourbon tours in Kentucky, to wine tours in Rome. Cheers to new experiences!

Paris is Always a Good Idea

Audrey Hepburn said, " Paris is always a good idea."  Now that I have spent time in the city, I must agree! I was lucky enough to book a last minute trip to Paris. During my trip I took a photography class, explored the city alone, went to the Louvre, Notre Dame, Centre Pompidou Beaubourg, and all the other touristy things.  Paris has so much beauty and history! It was both overwhelming and magical. I love that Paris is so sophisticated, noble, enchanting, and graceful.  Here are my best photographs:
