Wild, Wonderful Tahiti

 When I travel all the way to Tahiti, I can assure you it’s not for sun, sand and sea. No, for me a trip to Tahiti is all about connecting with the verdant and wild interior. Tahiti has hikes and activities for all skill levels, whether you’re a thrill seeker or you prefer a more chill vibe. I recently interviewed Gisele Moana Tromeur, Tahiti’s first female nature guide, on her recommendations. Here’s my article for Forbes Life. 

Springtime in New York City - Astoria

Riding the East River Ferry is the scenic way of escaping my New York City neighborhood that’s mostly devoid of nature. The other day I took the relatively new route to Astoria, Queens where I found an abundance of showy blooms (and coffee shops, such as the adorable and yummy Chateau Le Woof that appeals to pets and their humans). 

The ferry is a delight: It’s scenic, inexpensive and efficient. Myriad routes criss-cross the East River, and every week or so I’ll be exploring green spaces and coffee shops in a different neighborhood.
