A few snaps from some recent photo walks around BP.
Friends, I did a thing. I bought myself this townhouse in Scottsdale so I have a place to stay when I'm home visiting family. It all happened so quickly as I first started talking about this over Thanksgiving and now it's done. I'll be renting it out on Airbnb/VRBO while I'm out of town and my first guests check in today! I'm living vicariously through my guests right now as I'm "stuck" in Budapest and not able to take any holidays this year. I can't wait until summer when I can go stay there myself! Huge shoutout to my sister @staceymanzella who stayed there for two weeks unboxing packages, setting things up, and coordinating maintenance.
Artsy Sunday with @fabfi2406 and Nickie.
Top nine instagram posts of 2020. Fitting that three (1, 2, 8) came from my one big trip of the year - February in South Africa with @laurenbroeseker. Two photos are connected to major news events of the year (4, 7). Starting school in-person (3) actually was a remarkable event considering all that happened this year. I moved apartments this summer and both the old place (6) and the new place (5) earned a top spot. Finally, a little local travel (9) in Hungary rounded out your favorites of my photos in this strange year.
No Christmas market. But on the bright side, there's a clear view of the tree and the basilica. 🎄⛪
We may not have Christmas markets this year, but at least we have Christmas lights and this pretty tree. (And mulled wine)
