Me with a guest photobomb by Caitlin on the new American Airlines 777-300 in business class
So I am the other half of this dynamic duo, and after sitting around for a few weeks while Caitlin did all the hard work setting up the blog, I finally got around to writing up a post of my own.
“I’ve been homesick for countries I’ve never been, and longed to be where I couldn’t be.” John Cheever
Today is one of those days where I read too many blogs, looked at too many pictures, and yearned to be anywhere but here.
Whenever I go back to Canada, I always exercise extra hard the month before in anticipation of all the food I’ll eat once I am home. Growing up in a family that’s passionate about eating, food is a big part of our get-togethers. Weeks before I leave for Canada, my mom will call so we can discuss what I want to eat when I am home. In New York, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of good authentic Vietnamese food available surprisingly, so when I am in Canada the goal is to indulge in as much Vietnamese noodle soup as I can.

This photo was taken in New York City of Tristan Eaton’s colorful Audrey Hepburn. This artwork is part of the L.I.S.A project where street artists paint murals around Little Italy. This caught my eye one day when we were walking to Chinatown on our weekly grocery run. I’ve always been a fan of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, so seeing this tribute to her on the side of a building is a pleasant surprise.
Every week, I’ll share a photo with you from my adventures around the world and at home. Most of my photos have little or no post processing. If you would like to see more, please click the ‘Follow’ button.
