【SOMEWHERE IN CUBA】 One of my favorite words i

【SOMEWHERE IN CUBA】 One of my favorite words is ‘joyride.’ Not like the thrill seeker definition, but the one where you travel around simply out of pure enjoyment. My time in Cuba was one big joyride and it was poetic to end an eight-day Cuba road trip with a classic car photoshoot in Havana at golden hour. If you’re a classic car fan, Cuba is one big roadshow. Due to Castro’s ban on imported American cars and parts after the Cuban Revolution, Cuba is now a time capsule for antique American automobiles that continue to operate on Cuban ingenuity. I don’t know much about cars but I admire what they symbolize in Cuba: mechanical wizardry, the enterprising Cuban, and self-preservation at its finest.

It was in the backseat of @rooflesscubantour’s 1951 hot pink Chevy where I was reminded how fortunate I’ve been in these journeys around the world. Driving along the Malecón with one of my favorite people @thereshegoesagain who has been such a good friend to me online and IRL and never fails to be inclusive and generous. Watching our new friends Sarah and @solofemaletravelersclub drive past. Striking thought-provoking conversations with locals like @osmany_photography and hearing about “their” Cuba. Chasing the fading sunlight around every corner of La Habana Viejo. This is what makes every trip worth it — these snapshots of pure happiness. 🌅🇨🇺

《 Indie Bookshop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 》 It’s hard for me to pass up on a good bookstore and I can’t believe that I live only a short bike ride away from @harrietts_bookshop, a black + women-owned indie bookstore celebrating women authors, artists, and activities, and elevating #BIPOC voices. 📚
The minute you walk into the shop, it feels like you’ve stepped up into a comic book and there are so many thoughtful corners in this space: empowering quotes adorn the walls, uplifting neon signs light your way in the bargain-finds basement, and a painting of Harriett Tubman, the historic heroine that inspired the name of the bookstore, stands watch of all the visitors. It’s a special shop, opened in the middle of the pandemic, overcoming uncertain times and is now thriving! Frequented by locals and celebs alike, pick out a book from this thoughtfully curated collection as a memory of your time in Philly.

📍258 E. Girard Ave. Philadelphia, Pa. 19125 Thursday-Sunday from 12 am - 6 pm.

【SOMEWHERE IN CUBA】 So where was I on the Cuba

【SOMEWHERE IN PHILADELPHIA】 Before I go into a

【SOMEWHERE IN PHILADELPHIA】 Before I go into a Cuba deep dive, I wanted to share a life update that I didn’t really broadcast here: I MOVED TO PHILADELPHIA!! It was a a vv random move but the right one —being closer to home (i.e. Boston) while still having adventures in my life. With this being Valentine’s week, here is my little love letter to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, and the new home of my little family.❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Philadelphia is a mix of Boston, New York, and Baltimore with row homes standing side-by-side down gridded streets; a banging food scene; and nature escapes all an easy bike ride away. This is a historic place and fiercely community-driven. And did you know that this is the mural capital of the world?! Also the original LOVE statue is here right at LOVE Park! Here are some of my fave spots for first-time visitors ↠↠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ◉ Like a local 🎭 Get ready to add the word “jawn” to your vocab. It’s a slang local term for basically anything. Like one of the ice cream spots here is called “Milk Jawn!” Get it?! I’m still learning.. but yeah, it’s a Philly thing.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ◉ On my plate 🍽 Federal Donuts for their outlandish donuts, Middle Child Clubhouse for breakfast sandwiches, the red sourdough pizza from Hook and Master, and if you’re really curious, I’m still in search of my favorite cheesesteak spot. And can’t forget about Bok Bar in the summer for rooftop drinks.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ◉ Somewhere nice 🌞 The @phillymagicgardens is a mosaic garden featuring the work of Isaiah Zagar. But you can see his work all around South Philly for free!

◉ Secret Gem 📚 Named after Harriet Tubman, @harrietts_bookshop is an indie bookshop featuring WOC and activist authors. The interiors are painted in a 3D black and white effect.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ◉ In my suitcase 🧳 Tons of Philly-themed goods at @openhousephilly (my fave store in the city).
