Nessa's Bliss: travel

04 September 2015

I have a passion for travelling and exploring. Whether it is a road trip to a nearby city, or a plane trip to the other side of the world, travelling excites me. Travelling makes me want to learn more about a culture and the religion they practice. Travelling makes me interested in the languages they speak, and the words they use to describe situations/ objects.

I love to travel to visit a new scenery. It is always a great escape for a needed break from life, and it is most definitely a time to venture out of my comfort zone to try new foods.

My favourite part about travelling is visiting family I haven't seen since I was a baby, or meeting for the first time. It is always great to see the extension of my family, and create relationships with cousins I hope to one day introduce to my future children when I take them travelling.

The car ride, the boat ride, the plane ride... every aspect is always a new experience with different people in a foreign place. Traveling is beautiful. Visiting a new place is my favourite part of the experience.

#tbt That Time I Went To L.A.

Back in the summer of 2011, my family and I decided to join the rest of my mother's family for a little reunion in beautiful Los Angeles! It has been a while since I've been reunited with my cousins since the my Lola's funeral. In fact, prior to this summer I am thinking about to, I've been with my mother's side only a few times - a few times when I was a baby baby (so, I obviously don't remember), then for my Lolo's funeral, and then my Lola's funeral. So... I guess it is safe to say that prior to 2011, the only time I remember being with that side of the family was for sad reasons.
But for this summer, our family decided to just see each other for the summer! This trip was 3 summers ago, and truthfully, I don't remember every little thing that happened. Although, I do remember the happiness and all other emotions I felt during that trip with my family. Good thing I have a lot of pictures to share with you all. You know the saying - A picture is worth a thousand words!
P.S. if you were confused about some of the pictures, we actually went to L.A., Hollywood and Las Vagas!

The Fourth of July

The Fourth of July

Happy 4th of July, (Independence Day) to all my American followers! At first, I didn't know what was appropriate and American to blog about today. On Canada, just a few days ago, people posted up a lot of Canadian stereotypes, and although some of them were typically jokes about Canada, others were just plain mean that I've never heard of before. So, instead of writing stereotypes and perhaps insulting a few Americans out there, I decided to talk about the time I spent the Fourth of July in L.A with my lovely cousins and family!
So last year, I think it was my second post or something, I blogged about how my cousins who reside in America came to Canada for the summer. If you guys following since that time, then you'd already know that most of my moms' brothers and sisters live in the states, mostly in the San Francisco area. Because the only real time we'd ever go down there was for a funeral, (R.I.P Lola and Lolo), my sister and I never really go to bond with that side of the family. Like they are family, so obviously it was easy to talk to all of my cousins, but when it came to big family events, it wasn't easy to engage with them all.
So, then Summer or 2011, the family (well most of them), decided that it was time to just hang out, and we all met up at my aunt and uncles place in L.A! Apparently I've been there before when I was younger, but only pictures could bring that memory up. Although some of my cousins couldn't stay with us for the entire trip, I still had fun with all of them! We even traveled to Las Vagas, which was just an amazing experience (but also creepy since I was 16 at the time!)
A blog post wouldn't be complete without sharing a bunch of pictures to a blog post that can hardly be remembered since this vacay occurred back in 2011! But, please enjoy the pictures I recently found to share with you all! And Happy Fourth of July!
