One of the many protesting groups I witnessed while snacking on media lunas and cafe con leche in the main plaza in Salta, Argentina.
This pink church is one of the oldest buildings in Salta, Argentina. The pink and white church looked beautiful glowing against the blue night sky. The tree in front is actually an orange tree. However, as you can see, the unripe oranges are actually green here -- but I guess that still makes them oranges...
I came across these piled up crates during a walk in San Telmo, a neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I came across this sea turtle on the way to a brackish pond in Kona, Hawaii. I thought it captured exactly how I felt at the time: relaxed, slow-moving, and content. This is how life should be.

Taxco (pronounced tahs-coe), known as the "Silver City," is located about 2.5 hrs outside of Mexico City. Its colonial charm and steep hills make it one picturesque town that is definitely worth a weekend trip.

I am a half-Argentinean New York City girl with an insatiable lust for travel. Inspired by foreign countries but in love with my hometown, I go through life daydreaming about future travel adventures, and how I will someday write a book/column called "Travels with Tavel." Catchy, isn't it? Just you wait!
