Lately, I’ve been craving more than just a relaxing get away searching for an adventure that really gives my vacation that extra kick. It’s no secret that New Zealand is one of my favorite destinations so I was thrilled to pieces when I heard about Minaret Station on the South Island. Although luxury and camping [...]

Inspired by the Banksy film Exit Through The Gift Shop, I decided to take photos of the graffiti around Brooklyn. I’m not quite sure who created each piece but they are beautiful just the same.

With the weather getting blistering cold in Brooklyn, I’ve been retreating to my local haunt in Williamsburg, Moto.
