Traveling to … the historical brick row houses & cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill
Something about Beacon Hill’s historical brownstones, black shutters and old iron streetlamp lined cobblestone streets, still dressed in varying shades of lingering summer greens and colors now metamorphosing into warmer tones — that simply evokes Autumn.

Traveling to … Loriga // Serra da Estrela
Can you, feel it in the air…a more distinct Hope…the kind of hope and positivity my very soul clings to. Yes our nation can let out a sigh of relief, a big sigh of satisfaction that although there is plenty of work still left to be done to get our country in the right step,…
