Sea Life Aquarium in Kansas City, Missouri 2022—where the tanks were glowing, the jellyfish were vibing, and I…was basically this duck. Bright on the outside, blue on the inside, plopped on a metaphorical plank because Dave decided to blow me off that day. Nothing like ocean ambience and a rubber duck to really highlight the…

Clifford’s Tower, York, England — one of those places that looks like it’s been waiting centuries for you to show up and take in the view. There’s something so striking about it perched on that perfect green hill, like a fortress, a landmark, and a piece of lived history all at once. York really knows…

Puerto Rico (2020)— the unexpected stop on our cruise that came with a view nobody plans for but everyone remembers. We pulled in and saw this waterfront scene: boats tossed around like toys, buildings worn from storms and time, a kind of beautiful chaos that tells its own story. It wasn’t the postcard moment, but…

Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, France (2019)— a place that doesn’t need many words because the air already carries its own. This statue caught me immediately. Not just the shape or the scale, but the way it rises into the light like a breath held between grief and honor. Standing here felt heavy…

The wind was wild, the drop was terrifying, and the view felt endless. There’s something grounding about standing somewhere so iconic and realizing, “Oh…this is why poets lose their…

Polynesian Cultural Center, Hawaii (2016)—the night the drums shook the air, the crowd went quiet, and this performer absolutely owned the stage. There’s something about a luau that hits you right in the chest: the color, the rhythm, the storytelling woven into every movement. She was radiant, genuinely—like she wasn’t just performing, she was inviting…

Fire pit on Anchor Inn on the Bay’s private beach in Traverse City (2016)—the kind of spot that feels like it’s seen a thousand summer nights and still has room for a thousand more. There’s something about a weathered fire pit on the sand that instantly drops you into nostalgia mode. Late nights, lake breeze,…

Tower of London (2019)—proof that even the darkest corners know how to put on a light show. I’m obsessed with how this photo turned out: the cool blues pouring through the window, the warm golds clinging to the stone, that little pocket of green glowing like it’s keeping a centuries-old secret. It’s like the whole…
