WHERE I'VE BEEN

 
 

COME FLY WITH ME

just say the words and we'll beat the birds down to acapulco bay

»»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Living in a fifth (!!) floor walkup has its pros and cons. Con? “Popping out” for a quick errand is physically exhausting. Pro? I get unobstructed views (besides a few trees) of sunset and everything West of me. ☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ »»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Another con? There are way more lazy moments- like when I’ve run up and down the stairs after walking the dogs and taking out the trash and then just plopping down on the couch, totally wiped… 😴⠀ »»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ …so comfy shoes are a *huge* plus! And comfy CUTE shoes are rare and should basically be a national treasure. Like these @johnstonmurphy kicks. 👟 Link in bio so you can check them out if you’re in the market. I honestly forget I’m wearing shoes once I have them on ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #startwithshoes #sponsored
»»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can you ever have too many banana daiquiris?🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #avecnoirxbahamas
»»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #avecnoirxbahamas
»»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” — Anthony Bourdain ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Flying into the Bahamas when the weather report calls for hurricane winds and torrential downpours isn’t exactly the best “vacation” scenario I was looking for. The skies couldn’t be more grey when I landed and any water related activities were out of the question. But guess what? You’re still in the Bahamas. And you were fortunate enough to be able to get on a plane and fly somewhere new. So get out there and make the most of it. 🙌🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #avecnoirxbahamas
»»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch. Move.” — Anthony Bourdain ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If there is one singular influence I could attribute the igniting of my passion for travel and food it would be Anthony Bourdain. I am so thankful to be able to call someone like him an inspiration and can only hope that his love for parts unknown can continue to inspire everyone— those who already have more passport stamps than they can count and those who are still taking their first steps out of their hometown. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »»»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #avecnoirxbahamas
»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #avecnoirxparis
»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Am I Fleur Delacour yet? 🌸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #avecnoirxparis
»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can I just live in Paris and eat at outdoor cafés and wear pretty things and also have an infinite bank account? Is that like too much to ask for? 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Kidding, I’m honestly most happy on a beach, or somewhere else super remote. Mo people, mo problems. »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #avecnoirxparis
»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [ Insert inspirational quote about bridges and/or water here ]⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #avecnoirxparis
»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you went to Paris and didn’t take a photo on this street, DID YOU REALLY EVEN GO?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #avecnoirxparis
»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep tonight 💀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #avecnoirxparis
»⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ three cats are competing in a race »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ there’s an american cat named “one two three”, a german cat named “ein zwei drei”, and a french cat named “un deux trois”. »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ the cats all swim across a lake »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ the american cat finishes first, the german cat finishes second, but the french cat is nowhere to be found... »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ why? »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ because the un deux trois quatre cinq »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ if you didn’t rofl we can’t be friends sry bai 👋🏼 »⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #avecnoirxParis
