Bad Boy, you? I Don’t Think So.
To me, Mr. Rochester is the epitome of a bad boy. Oh, I know there are plenty of them bad boys littered throughout history and literature. James Dean, Warren Beatty, heck, even Marquis de Sade. We all have our fetishes and desire but there’s something about bad boys, and I don’t mean the guys who…

Why Couples Are Out Matchmaking Their Single Friends
Do you ever notice as a single person invited to dinner partys or drinks, you feel like it is all in the guise of being set up or offered a platter of men (female writing here)—most of which turn out to be rotten or just not suitable to your taste palate. You get to these…

Walkway over the Hudson + Minnewaska State Park + New Paltz
At 212 feet tall and 1.28 miles long, [Walkway over the Hudson] is the longest, elevated pedestrian bridge in the world. Is it?

Day 1: Vermont
= I’ve never been to Vermont. I’ve lived in Massachusetts for 16 years (plus, I always go back up for holidays) but I’ve never visited Vermont, besides the two times my parents drove through it to get to Montreal. And my memory brings back the smell of cows. hmm… And I never really flew short…

Day 7: Hasta Luego
It was the end of the trip. Costa Rica is indeed an adventure vacation. It is a place of tranquility, beauty, natural wonders, and geniality. It felt like the longest vacation I ever had. We did so much, ate well, slept well, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I admit, I did not miss anyone or anything…
