Philadelphia’s art scene is pretty incredible, and it’s one of my favorite things about living here. From the famous Philadelphia Museum of Art to the street murals to the music festivals, there’s something for everyone here. One of the most interesting places to see art is Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, which is covered in mosaics (even on […]

If you’re just tuning into my posts on my trip to Mexico (you can view all previous posts here), I recently took a trip to San Luis Potosí, Mexico for ten days with my parents and sister for her junior world racquetball tournament. I loved visiting there and wish I  could be back there right now, […]

You can view the first installments of my trip to Mexico on my San Luis Potosí, Mexico Part 1 and Part 2 posts If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know how much I LOVE history.

I FINALLY have photos from my trip to Mexico to share with you all!

Happy New Year! 🙂 I can’t believe I started my blog a year ago! 2016 really flew by, and I’m looking forward to what 2017 will bring (I’ll have some exciting news to announce soon!). So since I’ve been blogging for a whole year now, I thought I would put a post together with everything […]

I love all the Christmas decorations in Philadelphia every year! It always looks so festive, and December is a great time to visit Philly and see it covered in Christmas lights. One of my favorite Christmas themed places each year is the Christmas Village in Philadelphia! It’s located at City Hall and modeled after a […]

Glædelig Jul! 🙂 You may know by now that I’m pretty obsessed with Scandinavia after studying abroad in Denmark twice. I gave my dog a Scandinavian name, and this blog was first named after my Swedish backpack, just to give you some idea. So I was pretty excited when I heard the American Swedish Historical Museum in […]

If you’ve kept up with my blog from the very beginning, you’ll know that this started out primarily as a black-and-white photography blog. I explain the reason why I chose black-and-white photography in detail on my Behind the Blog page, but basically, I love the look of older film photography, especially with older cities like Philadelphia (I love […]

Christmas has come to Philadelphia, and it’s magical! I actually don’t mind walking Annika in the cold because we pass by so many beautifully decorated houses. In case you missed last week’s post, I did a holiday fashion photoshoot with some bloggers with the Christmas tree in Rittenhouse Square, and I’ve also been photographing tons other […]

Philadelphia looks absolutely magical this time of year, and I’ve been taking pictures […]
