when i created HUDSON HOTSPOTS back in 2018, it served as an homage to the region that raised me and a photo diary of my latest eats and travels in the valley.  i quickly came to realize that my experiences helped me to connect with people of all walks of life with a shared longing for community.

​

it's now been six years, and I've realized that there is much more than just local happenings I want to share with the world. I have been traveling to places I had never dreamed of and pursuing passions that I wanted to scream from the rooftops. 

 

and so this blog has grown into something I'm so proud to call my own. it serves as a destination for all things food, travel, and music-related in the valley and beyond, but it's also a collective where I hold some of my favorite memories of all time.  

​

I'm so happy you're here and thanks for being on this journey with me.
