Conwy, Wales

A couple of months ago I traveled around the United Kingdom. One of the places I visited was Conwy, Wales; a little beach town on the northern side of the country. It's small but it is packed with history! Most of it is quaint, except for Conwy Castle. It has presided over the town since the 13th century, when it was instructed to be built by Edward I of England. From the castle the old and decrepit (but gorgeous) protection walls expand to surround most of the town. Some pieces of these walls are now missing due to the wear and tear of time but you are still able to walk along the top of the sturdy remaining ones.

If you plan on visiting Conwy in the future I highly recommend you go visit the castle! The views of the surrounding town, water, and bridges are definitely worth the climbs up the steep stairways.

We walked/hiked up to the top of Conwy Mountain in order to get this view! The sign originally read "Sheer Drop" at the bottom but someone changed it to "Sheep Drop," so funny. 

Another place in Conwy that is worth visiting (that I unfortunately did not get a good picture of) is "The Smallest House in Great Britain." It's adorable!

PS: I apologize for this post being so darn late.

Vacation to Carmel and Big Sur

Last week I got the chance to take a break from my hectic daily life to go on a vacation to Carmel-by-the-Sea and Big Sur, California. With it's warm sunlight, it's sheer drop off cliffs, hidden waterfalls, and many forests begging you to come take a hike, the area is absolutely breathtaking. I would definitely advise anyone who gets the chance to go there, to do it! You will not regret it.

Reminiscing

Lately I've been going through many of the pictures that I have taken over that last year. I find it enjoyable to just reminisce and look back on all the memories that are attached to photos that I have taken. The ones below are just a few of my favorites. I am in no way a professional photographer, just someone who likes to travel with a phone and camera! If you have any tips for me on making my pictures better please let me know. I am always eager to improve my photography. Enjoy!

Vacation

Like many people during this holiday season, I am currently on vacation. I am very fortunate in the way that I get to see many people in my family as well as go on vacation on the west coast. Here are just a few pictures I took over the past few days. Enjoy.

P.S. Have a happy new year!
