A2 I stumbled upon Playas del Este outside of #Havana #Cuba per the request of one of my NYC friends who was curious. On or around my 50th trip to #Cuba, I went to Havana's beaches about 20 km outside of town AND not touristy. #culturetrav #cubatravel #cubicletocuba #travel

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A2: walking to Randall’s Island was a surprise! The views are pretty and only locals were there. Jackson asked me to marry him there. It’ll always be special for that reason. Plus the walk over the Triboro bridge is weird too! @randallsisland #CultureTrav

replying to @ChinaMatt @ChinaMatt A2: Very unlikely; In Venice, July 2017, I chat to a woman painting a picture of San Marco and discover she's from Bermuda and knows a friend of mine. Desperate to flee the city's massive crowds, she sends me to Giudecca, a nabe 99% residential. Loved its silence #CultureTrav
