Ending the week on a good note !

Sold some pictures ! 🥳🙏✨

I honestly never thought I would be able to sell some of my photos again. I used to do it when I was living in L.A., and that was one way for me to make some extra bucks and spend on my lifestyle, and it was truly a joy because basically I was financed for some travel & hangouts with this; taking beautiful pictures as always been my prerogative anyway, so I was living the life for me !

When suddenly 500px changed their rules on monetizing, I found myself deprived of being paid for my favorite hobby, and it definitely put a strain on my photography adventures and the way I share them… come to realize now that they’ve put back in place fair monetization, I’m back at it trying it again, and it’s slowly starting out.

Now I’m just realizing that I’m such a small hobbyist photographer, that I definitely don’t have enough visibility, which is what I need to get in order to evolve even better. I’m gonna try my best on that ! xoxox

The sky is the limit

I’ve been really at peace these past few months 🤍

Spending more time with family and dear friends, enjoying more hangouts with my boyfriend, and trying to find holistic ways to heal my body and soul. I’ve been appreciating the nature that surrounds me so much, I feel so lucky to live in a beautiful place like this…

All of the pictures in this post were taken from my balcony. Every single day when it’s not completely gray, the sky delivers a magnificent show to the eyes. I’m always here for it. It inspires me, and calms me. I can’t wait for spring because it’s even more beautiful then.

Back from my winter break

March 11, 2024March 12, 2024 ~ Madison Kennedy

Took an unannounced break !…

Several reasons to that, main one being I’m not doing my best during winter time as I have rheumatoid arthritis, so my joints don’t appreciate the added cold on top of everything else. Since I’m not going out much, I don’t really have any content to share.

I’ve finished sharing with you all my past Greece vacay pictures, so I basically need new travels or hangouts to update The Blog. With spring coming, it definitely will be easier for me to get out and do that !

In the meantime, here’s a short recap of my past few months (mostly January & February) xoxox

Although it could not be more Greek, Crete is really a country within a country, with its own history, folklore, and traditions.

Ah, lovely Heraklion ! We love you so 🤍

It’s the capital of the island, and it’s a must do ! You gotta stay at least a night, because the nightlife is definitely the best here since there’s so much going on with tourism & such. Also, they have the most amazing restaurants… I’d suggest Apiri : take the plate of seafood pasta, trust me. And Peskesi, which are some of my absolute fave places to eat. Don’t go for dinner before 9:30pm or so, people eat late there, it’ll feel empty if you go too early, and who likes an empty restaurant ? Not us !

It’s also the best city for visiting museums, and marvelling at the Cretan architecture. So much archeological sites to see. For hotel, I’d suggest to sleep right in the city center, so you can go by foot everywhere you need. I love the Metropole Urban hotel because it’s close to my favorite eateries, and it’s built on lively square.

On summer nights, I’d be sitting on the balcony drinking ouzo and watching the sea roar

Pit stop in the mountains of Crete ! 🐴

We found this beautiful ranch with horses, in the middle of nowhere, and decided to try it out for a night for the experience. It was really awesome, the Odysseia Stables are tucked away from the sea, but they have a nice infinity pool to make up for it.

The ranch was super quiet, and peaceful. We kinda had a special connection with the island there, as we went for a hike, did some yoga and checked on the different animals. It was very different from everything else we’d done before, it’s a definite to-do !
