Postcards from the Dominican Republic



NEW YEAR IN THE DOMINICAN


 Finally, I have got around to writing a blog post, although this one is going to be very short and sweet. I have been back in New York for over a month now, and have been so busy - hopefully I'll have a blogpost up soon with everything I've been up to and why I haven't blogged yet this semester. Before coming back to New York, I flew to the Dominican Republic for a family holiday. This was the first time my parents had more than 2 days off in a row in the whole year, and our first family holiday in a long time - and it was just perfect. So here's some of my favourite photos!

For Christmas, my parents gave me the most perfect present - a monogrammed leather travel wallet. It's my favourite colour and I just loved using it! 

Beautiful views on the flight into Punta Cana. 



Proud to say I didn't fall out of this hammock! 



On one day of the holiday we went on an 'Outback' trip and got to see how sweet tea, chocolate and coffee is made. This was the hottest day of the entire week and so we were very thankful the last stop of the tour was at a beach with the best waves! 

The resort we stayed in had several restaurants, and we booked in to go to the Japanese Cooking show - and loved it so much we went back again! Out of all the restaurants this one had the best food and the service was hilarious! 


Frozen lemon juice all day long. I miss this!! 





I was pretty sad to say goodbye to my family - especially when they had an extra day in the sun than me - but also quite excited to see the snow in New York. 


Beautiful sunset when flying into New York City. 

Hope you enjoyed the pics! Fingers crossed I'll be back with another post soon.

Niagara Falls

MY WONDER OF THE WORLD Our trip to Canada involved one day visiting Niagara Falls! When I found out I was coming to New York for my study abroad year, I realised it was only a 4-5 hour drive from Niagara Falls, and so I told myself I really had to go. We tried and planned a trip to go last semester, but for one reason or another it never happened- and I'm actually quite glad it didn't because we were planning to go to the American side, and I'm so glad we went to the Canadian!! We planned this trip when we got back in January and it gave me something to look forward to, and it was an amazing day. Now, I was 100% convinced Niagara Falls was one of the 7 Wonders of the World, and after an intensive google, I've had to accept it isn't - I got very excited when I thought I had finally been to one of the seven. However, I think it definitely should be on that list (have you seen it by the way? It's actually a very random list in my opini

Spring Break in Montréal

BONJOUR MONTRÉAL! Last week was Spring Break, and I went to Montréal!!!! Montréal was another place I had always thought of visiting when I found out I was studying in New York. It was actually one of the places I selected as an option to study abroad, and the whole French region thing really interested me - although it was soooo much more French than I had expected!!! My friend drove us both to Montréal, where we stayed for 2 nights; which was definitely enough time to see the city!!
