Visit Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Lyndhurst Mansion is around a 45 minutes train ride on Metro-North from Grand Central Station.  Off-peak roundtrip train tickets will cost around $21.  A quick taxi ride from the Tarrytown train station to the mansion entrance is $7.  A one hour small group guided tour of the mansion is $18.  While this day trip upstate will cost you around $50, I would recommend it for the architectural and New York history as well as just walking around the grounds and taking pictures.  

Local Irish Food and Outdoor Activities: Photo Tour That Will Make You Want to Visit Ireland Right Now

7 days in Ireland provides plenty of opportunities for photography sessions.  While reading about a trip is great, sometimes scrolling through a bunch of pics can be more effective to get people wanting to visit a new place.  Below are 3 categories from my trip (food, outdoors and city walks) that will hopefully make you book that ticket.

In and Out of Iceland: 48 Hours in Reykjavik

By on • ( 4 Comments )

Winter in Iceland, experiencing the darkness and chasing the Northern Lights felt like an adventure worth having.  So, why not pack that adventure into a 48 hour excursion to the middle of the Atlantic in November?  No reason not to, really.  So a 4 hour and 45 minute red-eye flight later (basically the time it takes to fly across the US) I touched down in Keflavik International Airport.

And as I stepped out of the airport into 50 mph gusts of wind and driving rain, in that moment, I was happy.

Croton Gorge Park: Half Day Adventure Outside New York City

By on • ( 1 Comment )

Wanting to escape city living, at least for a couple hours on the weekend can be pretty straightforward in New York.

Case in point, Croton Gorge Park is 40 miles north of Manhattan (if you have a car) or you can take the Metro North Train to the Croton on Hudson stop.  Note: if you take the train you will then need to take a car service for the remaining 2.5 miles to the park (and remember this because I will revisit it later.)
