seven

i was tagged to share 7 things about myself but

to keep up with the theme of travel,

here are my 7* photos of places i love.

{*thank you to the lovely madi rose for tagging me :)}

7.

amherst, massachusetts

i only visited for a few days back in 2006,

but that fall foliage was to die for.

6.

florence, italy

i know that i just got here, and maybe it's too soon to say, but i think i love being here. maybe it's just the newness and the wonder of being somewhere so rich with history, but every morning when i cross this bridge going to school, i smile.

5.

englischer garten

munich, germany

it was so beautiful and green and calm when i went to visit. i wish i had had more time to get lost in it but i guess that's just another reason to go back again :)

4.

santa cruz, california

so i know it isn't exotic or anything,

but being surrounded by redwoods yet being so close to the ocean

is a wonderful feeling.

3.

nauplion, greece

my first city out of dirty, busy athens.

this little town warmed my heart with my first glimpse of greece's real beauty.

2.

inside churches, anywhere

{this one taken in delphi, greece <3}

maybe it was my upbringing,

but sitting in an empty, quiet church fills me with awe.

1.

pacifica/the bay area, california

as much as i love to travel and explore,

nothing feels better than knowing that i have a place

to call and return to as home.

i would like to tag

1. elizabeth at simply bee

2. julia at color me green

3. ashley at have heart

4. grace of ethan & grace

5. allison of a bite of allison

6. johanna of whirly bird
