Niagara Falls (Part Two)
After a full day on tour, my cousin and I returned to Niagara Falls on our own to see the lights and fireworks that make the falls come alive at night. From food finds to unforgettable views, this visit was the perfect way to end our Niagara adventure.

Niagara Falls (Part One)
Join me and my cousin for a full day at Niagara Falls as I visit this world-famous wonder by tour group. From the roar of Maid of the Mist to the spray of Cave of the Winds and panoramic views from Skylon Tower, this tour captures the ultimate Niagara experience.

Blackwater Falls State Park
My uncle and I drove the back roads of West Virginia to see this gem as my final stop of my 2023 travels. Named after the waterfalls that are the park’s centerpiece, Blackwater Falls State Park is a great example of West Virginia’s immense beauty.

Phipps Conservatory
Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh, PA was the beginning of my love of botanical gardens. Summer visits are always memorable, but the holiday lights really make Phipps sparkle.

Montreal Botanical Garden
This grand botanical garden popped with color, even on a day made dreary by widespread smoke from wildfires. Wander the Montreal Botanical Garden’s themed gardens—Chinese, Japanese, First Nations, and more—where seasonal color and global design shine.
