Serendipity and other overrated things

New York City

1. Serendipity
2. Independent travel
3. Walking off the beaten path

For almost 2 hours, I walked 2 miles from East Village to Wall Street in New York City.

These are the times when you’re supposed to have epiphanies, discover the city’s secrets, and find yourself, right?

Well, I saw a lot of construction, homeless people, and Halal food trucks (not the Halal Guys!)…

But no epiphanies. No discoveries, self and otherwise. I’ve done it enough times this trip to conclude that it doesn’t happen.

Here are some photos though:

San Francisco

Berkeley

Chicago
