THAT NEW NEW: The latest post I wrote is on #NYC and the museums you can visit for free just by showing your bank card. (This one covers BofA, Merrill Lynch, US Trust).
.
I try not to talk about big banks often —unless it involves rewards points and intl fees — but it’s something I still use while I search for a credit union that benefits my travel style.

(SWIPE: before/after) If you haven’t read my post on how to take great vacation photos then baby what is you doinggggg!?
.
I talk about my favorite ways to get dope vaca photos — even when you’re camping, wearing dirty clothes, and look bloated.
.
One tip: always pack bright clothing — even if you are a moody New Yorker with a darkened soul 🙋🏽‍♀️. Why? We blend into our travel backgrounds a lot, so our clothing gives us the opportunity to contrast with the environment. It helps us *pop* and suddenly makes the entire image seem exciting. With these examples you’ll notice that the first photo’s mossy image is reaaaally cool and fairytale-like. But I’m insignificant in the photo and make it seem boring. The second image is in the same park yet with a mediocre background but that electric blue top paired with a smile on my face makes it seem like a better image (certainly stands out more)!
.
Have you ever noticed how much colored clothing improves your travel photos?

Dance like no ones watching. Except everyone was probably watching because the dress is red — but alas, here we are. #DoItForTheGram #SeaWall

AD | #AmazingLooksLike thrill rides, chill vibes, free refills, and -- YES, ITALIAN ICE 🙌🏾. Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is a summertime highlight in the northeastern U.S. and has attracted fun-seekers of all ages since 1884. My favorites: riding the roller coasters and water rides, eating crab fries and funnel cake, and of course... ices! Who’s with me? @DorneyParkPR #DPBestDay

“We played, we laughed
we were loved.
We were ripped from the arms of our
parents and thrown into the fire.
We were nothing more than children.
We had a future. We were going to be
lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, mothers.
We had dreams, then we had no hope.
We were taken away in the dead of night
like cattle in cars, no air to breathe
smothering, crying, starving, dying.
Separated from the world to be no more.
From the ashes, hear our plea. This
atrocity to mankind can not happen
again. Remember us, for we were the
children whose dreams and lives were
stolen away.”
- Barbara Sonek, “Holocaust”

If this sounds way too familiar, it’s because it IS way too familiar. Your voice and donations matter. I’ve been contributing to #RAICES, Texas’ largest #refugee and #immigration center for education and legal services. Maybe you can too (or somewhere similar). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In love and light, we are the revolution.

Since the ‘60s the #ClearwaterFestival has grown to be the USA’s largest yearly environmental celebration, with music, dance, and activism attracting thousands of people to the #HudsonValley.

When I attended this weekend, I found it was unexpectedly more than a folk music festival. As someone who gets overwhelmed in even a department store I was able to navigate the gorgeous Croton Point park and explore unique vendors, artisans, and exhibitors without too much trouble.

The food choices represented cuisine from around the world (especially Latin and Caribbean foods) and there were so many activist, environmentalist, and cultural booths and exhibits promoting conversation and awareness.

Swipe to see a few photos from the event away from the stages. The crowd was pretty middle-age hippie/family-oriented, but I didn’t feel uncomfortable by our small differences at all. Everyone was friendly so it was just another part of the experience. The festival was easily accessible by Metro-North from NYC.

What festivals have you been to lately?
