I had a great time staying in upper east Manhattan for 2 weeks. I got to experience my first speak easy. You walk down a staircase and ring a doorbell, then a well-dressed door man will walk out to get your reservations for this beautiful secret cocktail bar. It was a little lonely spending Christmas alone, but me and a friend managed to watch the ball drop on New Years Eve! An experience that will probably only happen once. It was amazing, but was a lot of work and stress to get a decent view.
I got to visit one of my favorite photographers, Patty Maher, in Toronto Canada. She was so nice and helpful! This was my first time leaving the country, and let me tell you, the immigration offices are a joke! It was harder to get back into my own country! Why!? While touring the city, I spent a lot of time trying to develop a Canadian accent, which is by far, the most “ok” Canadian impression. On my way back to NYC I unexpectedly got to see Niagara Falls! Frozen!
After I got back from NYC, I went to Pittsburg. It is actually a really awesome city! With 446 bridges, there is literally one on every other block. It was my second time couch surfing which was a really great experience. I stayed with a really helpful graphic designer who informed me on one of the coolest abandoned houses I have been to! This house has been vacant for 8 years, and is still furnished with 4 beds(mostly flipped on their side), desks, tables, and children’s toys. I also got to hang out with a Jacksonville friend who helped me with develop my kickstarter! He is about to be married into the family I stayed with in Detroit, how ironic!
Detroit was such a heart warming experience. I stayed with my friends sister who was going through a lot of financial trouble. I was glad to see her reaction when she received a large, God-sent check to fix all of her financial struggles! I got to experience my first 3 casinos, I even walked out with more money!! I can proudly say I participated in the 2014 snow challenge. You can visit my instagram and watch me dive into the snow, wearing only my boxers.
I’m in Chicago now. Unfortunately I came here with my boots falling apart(Don’t purchase Forever 21 boots). After a month, the sole came off of the bottom of one shoe. I decided to just take it to a shoe repair store, so hopefully they can fix it!! When I walked into my hostel I was talking to one of my roommates. He is looking for a school to begin his Ph.D, and I found out he is familiar with my photography! What a small world! Tomorrow I am going to St. Louis to stay with my family for a week.
