Chasing dreams, breaking barriers—this is the essence of the American dream.🇺🇸🗽
The Statue of Liberty stands as a beacon of hope and freedom, welcoming millions to the shores of America. Located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, this iconic symbol was a gift from France in 1886, representing the enduring friendship between the two nations and the universal ideals of liberty and democracy.
Designed by sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, Lady Liberty holds a torch high, symbolizing enlightenment and the pursuit of knowledge. Her crown features seven rays, representing the seven continents and the idea that freedom is a right for all humanity.
For generations, she has greeted immigrants and travelers, embodying the promise of the American Dream. The path to her pedestal reflects the journey of many who sought a better life, serving as a reminder that hope and opportunity await those who dare to dream.
Today, the Statue of Liberty continues to inspire, reminding us of the values we hold dear—liberty, equality, and the belief that together, we can build a brighter future.

Gratitude is the daily practice of finding joy in the small things and acknowledging the beauty in every moment.🙏
🛶 Floating markets are vibrant, culturally rich markets where goods are bought and sold from boats or barges on waterways. These markets are particularly popular in Southeast Asia, where they provide a unique shopping experience and a glimpse into local traditions.
Floating markets are not only a means of trade but also a cultural experience, reflecting the traditions and lifestyle of the regions where they are found.
Taking the opportunity to have a chat with this local woman who was so kind to cut up my mango 🥭 so I could enjoy it while I continued my day. I could have sat there for hours just chatting with her and enjoying her company.🫶🏻
❓What’s the most memorable experience you’ve had during your travels, and what made it so special?

Moving on from the tragedies of September 11, 2001, has been a journey of transformation and growth. While the pain and loss from that day are indelible, finding ways to move forward has been crucial in honoring those we lost and in rebuilding our lives.
One of the most profound ways I’ve found to move on is by focusing on the positive changes that emerged in the aftermath. The resilience, unity, and courage displayed by individuals and communities in response to the tragedy are testaments to the strength of the human spirit. These qualities have become a guiding light, inspiring acts of kindness, solidarity, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Building on this foundation, I’ve sought to channel my own energy into positive actions. Whether through volunteering, supporting initiatives that foster community and resilience, or simply being present for those around me, I’ve found that creating a positive impact helps in processing grief and moving forward.
It’s also important to remember that moving on doesn’t mean forgetting. By honoring the memories of those we lost through meaningful actions and a commitment to positivity, we ensure that their legacies endure in ways that contribute to a better future.
Ultimately, moving on from the tragedies of September 11 is about finding strength in our shared humanity and using that strength to build a world marked by compassion and hope.

Not for as long as I live…I will never forget!💔🇺🇸🍎🗽
📍World Trade Center
Visiting Ground Zero is a profound experience that I make sure to include every time I am in New York or New Jersey. Each visit brings me to a place of deep reflection, as I stand on the site where so many lives were tragically lost on September 11, 2001.
Walking through the memorial, surrounded by the names inscribed on the walls and the serene pools, I am reminded of the immense loss and the stories of bravery and sacrifice that defined that day. It’s a place where the gravity of the tragedy is palpable, and where the resilience of our city and nation is deeply felt.
This visit is more than a moment of remembrance; it is an opportunity to honor those who perished and to reflect on the strength and unity that emerged in the wake of such profound loss. Each time I am in the area, I find solace in this act of reflection, reinforcing my commitment to keeping the memory of September 11, 2001, alive.
Ground Zero is a place I return to, not only to remember but to reaffirm the enduring spirit of our community and country.

Following my delightful breakfast, at one of my favorite local coffee shops, and meeting with some amazing local businesses…
As I walked back to my villa, I noticed a sign right in front of my accommodation that felt like a special little nudge from the universe. Is it a coincidence or something more? Either way, I’m filled with gratitude and love for this beautiful place.
Thank you, Bali, for welcoming me with open arms and a warm heart.💛
