The perfect tropical getaway in Miami & Key West
I just came back from a memorable long weekend in Miami and Key West to celebrate one of my best DC friends' 30th birthday. Nothing beats tropical vibes by the Atlantic Ocean, that's for sure!
Sackler Gallery & National Museum of African Art
Here I am again with another episode in my 'Friday Discoveries' series, including some cool museums located in Washington DC.
My Friday discoveries
An ‘unpresidented’ weekend
What an 'unpresidented' weekend it was! I have to admit I did not attend any of the big events these days in Washington DC, nor Trump's Inauguration nor the Women's March.
Instead I decided to stay at home and declutter my apartment - see related post here.
(inspiring) minimalism
Less is more.
We have all heard that.
But what if I told you that I have experienced it myself and it is making me happier?
Moving on and welcome!
Maybe it's because I just turned 29 or it might be because it was about time. In any case welcome to my brand new blog ‘Mariela around the world’!
Colombia (part III): Cartagena de Indias
We landed in Cartagena de Indias on Wednesday evening, and this was the last leg of our Colombian trip. This colonial city was my personal favorite in our trip to Colombia. Let me show you why!
Colombia (part II): Medellín
Colombia (part I): Bogotá
My friends and I decided to spend a different Thanksgiving this year, so we headed to Colombia! Follow us on this trip that took us to Bogotá, Medellín and Cartagena de Indias.
Hippy Halloween
I had so much fun this past Halloween. On Saturday night I went to a Halloween party with my friends and I decided to recycle my own clothes in order to become a hippy in full style. I also went for a walk around Mt Pleasant and Georgetown to check out the Halloween decorations.
Visiting Mt Vernon by bike
After our unsuccessful attempt back in January 2015, this time I made it and I managed to visit Mt Vernon,
Mount Vernon was the plantation house of George Washington, the first President of the United States, and his wife, Martha Dandridge Custis Washington.
