CRESCENT CITY: A REWIRED TRAVELING CHICK

So, 2021 came in hurriedly. Three months are officially over, and April swiftly swooped in; is everyone's traveling schedule in order?

Other than me, who else is ready to start traveling throughout this gigantic and beautiful world?

Finally, the world is returning to some sense of normalcy. I understand that 2020 started and ended with significant restraints because of COVID-19, which changed how the world operates. I have not slowed down as much business-wise, but I am personally constrained. Still, I am beyond ready to start traveling and expressing the overly hyperactive chick I am known for being. I love to travel because it is my creative outlet to capture unlimited inspiration, relaxation, and networking. I look back on many things, but one area that I cannot wait to see and experience again is charming courtyards. Whether relaxing in a quiet, tucked-a-way spot, a chance to read, or sipping on a cup of hot cocoa and enjoying the view, I miss these exteriors. Walking through and capturing the essence of these serene beauties makes my day. However, I am glad to have some photos to reminisce about while I wait for my upcoming trips. 

While there are many courtyards and outdoor boutiques in New Orleans, I also like the delicate eateries in Italy. They are simple and subtle, with great character and appeal, leaving a lasting impression on memories. Moreover, the bottom line is that I need to return to exploring different countries. As stated earlier, I have several trips around the corner, and I am about to go crazy to prepare for the first one. I am anxious to hop on a plane and see the massive architectural structures, intricate decorative objects, extremely colorful details, various cultures, unlimited stylish interiors, and exteriors. In addition, I can't wait to experience some good exotic food.

Until I am on a plane relaxing and officially arrive at my destination, I still get excited from reminiscing on my past travels. Looking back, I become anxious to see what is in store for my next adventures. Furthermore, there is nothing like touring courtyards, outdoor boutiques, and cozy Italian eateries. I rarely see them locally, but when I do, it is internationally. Regardless, they are simply beyond amazing! If you have never experienced either, it should be a high priority on your to-do list.
