On Travels and Photos

About this blog . . .

I set a goal in October 2014 to finish exploring all 50 States before my birthday in September 2015. I've traveled some of the states before I came to the US as an immigrant, and I want to continue doing it. I am very grateful to have my dream job as a Flight Attendant, and more than grateful to enjoy the travel benefits in pursuing my passion to travel.

Taking photos is a crucial part of my travels. Images are memories that last. They bring us back to places and experiences we want to remember. I will be sharing few favorite photos, and few good stuff to reconnect with them.

Thank you, to all of you who were with me on my travels.


Join me on my wonderful journey . . . . .

Arts in Des Moines, Iowa


     I often go to Des Moines on a work trip, and our hotel shuttle always passes by John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park. I've always been interested in seeing the park. Finally, on a long layover, I had a chance to go.

     I love to photograph art. Thanks to my FA colleague, Kyle, who took my photos. Our long walk from the hotel to downtown was our exercise for the day. This is a small town, so the streets were quiet with few people. The weather was nice, the grasses were green, and the flowers were blooming. I love spring! It snows a lot in Iowa during winter, but there are good days to enjoy here.

     I learned from our driver that Iowa is a major center of the US insurance industry. According to the records, it is the third-largest insurance capital in the world. So no wonder I've seen a lot of insurance buildings downtown. We had a selfie with the tallest building in Des Moines, the Charles Schwab. 

     Des Moines has been the best business place and was once ranked as the wealthiest city in America. I've never thought that a small town like Des Moines has all these interesting facts. It is definitely impressive!
