New York can make anyone a perpetual tourist.

I may have grown up in New Jersey, but it took living here to really start to know this city. I love the feeling you get when neighborhoods start to connect like puzzle pieces. After 4 years of living here, this still happens.

Many of these shots are the result of wandering alone and still being bus-illiterate.

A lifelong friend and I took a cross country road trip from Los Angeles to New York in May of 2018. We spent three weeks in a white two door jeep wrangler— (Almost) every second was amazing.

Here are some of my favorite memories.

Would you have guessed this was jersey if I didn’t tell you? Maybe our bad reputation only helps keep these spots secret.

All photos taken in either Sussex or Sommerset County.

Thank you to Chloe Carver for being a wonderful subject and a terrific partner in crime.

More than a commute away.

Examples of amateur hoarding i.e. curated clutter.

My little home in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn

So much color, so much history. I’ve been here twice but have yet to have my fill.

Los Angeles, Malibu, Santa Barbara, Joshua Tree, Salvation Mountain & Palm Springs

Take a rooster to Eleuthra, bring a blogger to St. Bart’s

I know, I know it’s beautiful here—I’m just bitter there’s a line for conch salad now

Many years, many sunsets.

Of all the places, this island is the boyfriend i’ll never get over.

Proof that I can handle a little minimalism
