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.

​

several years later, and I've come to realize 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 thought I would and pursuing dreams that I want to scream from the rooftops.  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 entertainment related beyond the valley that raised me.

​

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