Polaroid of the Week: Breathtaking Seattle Night Skyline from Kerry Park

Polaroid of the Week: Breathtaking Seattle Night Skyline from Kerry ParkWhat an incredible week in Seattle! The sun made more appearances than anticipated—far more than the prior week—and I seized every chance to explore the city. I checked off key spots from my Seattle bucket list: a leisurely walk through Olympic Sculpture Park and along Alki Beach, a visit to the Ballard Locks, and a short hike in Discovery Park. The favorable weather led me to several parks, including Lake Union Park, Seward Park, Freeway Park, and Volunteer Park.

I ventured into various neighborhoods and, with my friend Katie in town, savored delicious meals and craft beers. The dry spell even allowed a visit to Fremont's Sunday market, followed by Golden Gardens—a surprising beach gem that became one of my top discoveries. Seattle summers sound unbeatable after reading about them; I must return to experience crowded beaches, paddleboarding, sailing, and outdoor movies. The week's highlight? Capturing this Polaroid at Kerry Park, famed for its panoramic downtown views, on Katie's final night.

With one full week left in Seattle, plenty of must-see spots remain—fingers crossed for continued great weather!

I selected this striking icy scene—perfect for the Land of Ice—and cant wait to share more Icelandic wonders with you. Completing the full Ring Road circuit in one week was ambitious, but my travel companion Rease and I reveled in Icelands

  • Polaroid of the Week: Serene Canal Stroll in Amsterdam

    I’ve launched my European train adventure, and the first rides were exceptional. My inaugural journey whisked me from Berlin to Amsterdam in under seven hours—a city I’ve explored multiple times, though my last visit was over a decade ago. With rave reviews of its beauty and my hazy memories, I spontaneously included it in my Euro train itinerary. Amsterdam’s distinctive charm captivated me instantly upon arrival: its iconic canals, legions of bicycles, stunning 17th-century merchant houses wi

  • Polaroid of the Week: Sunny Beach Day in Brighton, England

    Rather than sharing another Polaroid from Berlin, Ive chosen to highlight my current spot: Brighton, England, where Im spending much of this week. After visiting for Brighton Pride last summer, I never imagined returning so soon—travels often surprise me! (Recall my unexpected Amazon adventure in March? No plans for that either.)Just last week, a beach day in Brighton was the furthest thing from my mind, but Im thrilled with this turn. Summer sunshine finally graced Britain over the weekend, del
