Postcards from Ithaca, New York

One thing I’ve realized, when it comes to my blog, is that I get hung up on capturing the ‘perfect photo.’ While I started this platform as a way to get my writing out there, I’ve quickly realized that the visual aspect is just as important to people.

Purity Ice Cream 

Purity Ice Cream is a landmark in Ithaca, New York.

In my mind, there’s always been a strong connection between summertime and ice cream; stopping after a…

Watkins Glen 

There’s a running joke in my family that whenever we go on a trip, it’s required that we go hiking, especially when we’re visiting my grandparents in Ithaca, New York. Ithaca is a small town with some of the most beautiful wooded trails, gorge trails, and outdoor environments imaginable. Watkins Glen is definitely one of my favorites. We’ve been hiking this gorge since I was little, struggling up the hundreds of steps and worrying that we’d…
