Munich, Germany
To live will be an awfully big adventure. :)
The travel bug bit me and I found myself in Munich, Germany.
Locations: The Feldherrnhalle monument at the Odeonsplatz, Asamkirche, and Marienplatz.
Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, & look beyond what’s right in front of you.
Those are the keys to understand this amazing world we live in.

ALASKA. Truly the last frontier.

Paris, France
I ended my trip in France with spending the day in Paris. I learned the public transportation and got myself to the Eiffel Tower and later to the Notre Dame Cathedral…which is now closed and under construction. But while I was near the Eiffel Tower, I made a game at taking photos of the couples who were getting married that day. :) I didn’t expect to see this at all, but couples were all over the place that I couldn’t help myself since I had my equipment on me. I was being discreet taking these pictures and giggled the whole time. I find being a photographer for these couples in such a public place super stressful so maybe that’s why I was so happy because it wasn’t me! Lol So now I can brag and say that I photographed six wedding couples in one day!!! :) After all, Paris is the city of love!
Thank you, France…you are so magical and I’ll be back!
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.

Moustiers, France
A quaint little village South of France. Situated between two cliffs and there’s a beautiful waterfall in the center of the village. Probably the most important historical monument is the Church of Notre-Dame-de-Beauvoir; it takes 262 steps to get to the top to see the chapel but it is totally worth it and the view of the rooftops of Moustiers is quite breathtaking. I enjoyed an amazing croissant and hot chocolate in one of the coffee shops and we bought snacks from a beautiful pastry shop. It was a quick little visit after running in the lavender fields in Valensole, but I’m super glad I saw this quaint little village with my own eyes. P.S. Thanks to my friend, Claire, for the middle picture… 7th photo from the top. :)
