Kingman Island Bluegrass and Folk Festival
The Kingman Island Bluegrass and Folk Festival was one of the things in my bucket list before leaving DC. This festival is the city´s largest all-local music benefit in support of Living Classrooms of the National Capital Region.
DC discoveries: United States National Arboretum
Today I finally went to the National Arboretum with a couple of friends.
This place had been on my DC wish list for a long time but I had not managed to visit it up until now that I am about to move to Geneva in Switzerland.
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.
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.
Exploring Hains Point
Hains Point is at the southern tip of East Potomac Park, and offers beautiful views of the Potomac River, Anacostia River and the Washington Channel. Surrounded by beautiful greenery and trees, the area is a popular destination for a delightful picnic and relaxation in Washington DC.
One new house, two weeks, three moves
I don't know about you, but I find moving in and out is a constant feature when living abroad. As an expat, you're brand new when you arrive to a destination and have no clue about the best places to live, have fun and so on. After you've settled in for a while, you start looking for the perfect house. I've been there, so this is the story about my third and last move in Washington DC (I hope).
