My Gypsy Life |
I travel (a lot), live in New York, and love photography. All photos are mine unless noted otherwise. Check more of them out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mygypsylife. |

Yey New York! Taxi of Tomorrow

I’m home and I still have so many more stories and photos to post about my time in China. Until then, this is what I was thinking about in the cab from the airport to my apartment, driving down the BQE, seeing the Manhattan skyline for the first time in 6.5 weeks.
There are 3 stages of a traveler:
#1: Visiting place for a few days is like a first date, everyone is on their best behavior. Both are perfect in this moment.
#2: Staying in a place for 6 weeks is like the first time you have sex with that person. You are addicted and you want more. You are giddy with passion.
#3: Living in a place is like being in a relationship. You are comfortable but there are flaws. Sometimes you need to reignite the romance.
I’m not ready to reignite the romance with New York because I’m giddy over Shanghai.

Another photo from last weekend. Looking out my window it looks to be another beautiful weekend in New York.
Happy Weekend…here are some photos I took around the city last weekend.

The sunset in the city last night was amazing. This photo does no justice. Grateful for the rooftop. Grant’s Tomb (on the left) and the Jerz across the river.

Happy NewYork-versary to me!

I have a confession to make: I do not share my fries. Ever. Don’t even try. Nasty side-eyes are given if you ask. Really.
When left to my own devices for a weekend, I will end up eating peanut M&Ms and watching old slasher movies in an Econo Lodge in Harpers Ferry,...
neon, neutrals and a pop of turq on this fine spring day.
