Plan your Finger Lakes trip with Emma

Jul 24

Emma moved back to her hometown of Ithaca in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes Region a few years ago. She’s a photographer who manages a glamping site every summer and fall before setting off on her own travels during the winter.

“In my free time, I’m usually taking photos or looking at other artists’ work, exploring/spending time outside, or planning my next meal at a local restaurant. I am aesthetically driven and love finding beauty in the day to day. My friends often turn to me for design advice—I have a natural eye so they often ask me for help on which piece of furniture to buy, where to hang art, which color rug to get, etc. On my first solo trip, I spent a week alone bouncing from city to city in Switzerland. I still remember the freedom and joy I felt during that time. I felt independent and capable and had such a good mix of time alone spent exploring/reflecting and time spent with new friends over a glass of wine. That experience really set the tone for how I travel—now I always make sure to factor in some alone time on any trip I take.”
