TRAVEL
New York | New York | USA
What to say about the "Big Apple"? To summarize, New York was an adventure . There was so much to do at any hour of the day. It lives up to its title, "The city that never sleeps." My voyage to New York involved me having a cross state trip, stopping in Charlotte then Miami and residing in New Jersey. New York is a mosaic of so many different diasporas that have unified in the state but still remain true to their origins and customs. I enjoyed engaging with a multiplicity of multifaceted people from so many different backgrounds and walks of life.

Sint maarten/Saint martin
St. Maarten/St. Martin is truly the land of the friendly people. Although the country is divided in half (Sint Maarten for The Netherlands and Saint Martin for the French), this is a very united and multicultural Caribbean island. I was extremely humbled by how warm and welcoming everyone was.
Miami | Florida | USA
I had an incredible time in the coastal metropolis that is Miami, Florida. Miami brought the heat, the beach and the skyline.
Panama
Panama is like the Latin America version of New York with skyscrapers, casinos and a bustling night life in the heart of Panama which is the capital, Panama City. However, we cannot talk about Panama without mentioning the infamous landmark, The Panama Canal and its exceptional construction. Panama was extremely warm and welcoming, I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to have dinner with the Barbadian Ambassador for Panama, Ian Walcott and many other political figures in the Caribbean. The nationals were extremely patient, kind and helpful in spite of the language barrier. Panama is not a country that one can only experience once.
