I’m going to just leave you with this photo.

This is the Tidal Basin. It’s a partially man-made reservoir between the Washington Channel and the Potomac River. Aside from the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the basin also happens to be home to the best viewing spot for cherry blossoms each spring. Cherry blossoms in DC is still yet to be crossed off on my bucket list. Maybe 2017 will be the year!
hi! my name is melanie! i started this blog back in 2014. how to be a traveler is a collection of my travel experiences. my motto is, ‘travel, eat, drink, explore, write, repeat.‘ this blog is a tool to help me remember all the places i’ve seen, but it’s also a tool to help you plan out the places you will discover. and so that you won’t make the same mistakes i made. think of me as your very own travel guinea pig. so hopefully, you can find at least one useful tip while reading my blog. i hope you enjoy reading this as much as i enjoy writing it for you.
