Hiking Griffith Park was, for me, the highlight of visiting LA (not including Santa Monica). Hiking there was so different from my hiking experiences in the East Coast. It really made me ponder the idea that you could use up your vacations just in the United States for a few years and still have more to explore after that.
Fried clams at PJ’s Family Restaurant, hiking the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail, hanging out at Marconi Beach, and sweets from Chequesett Chocolate and Sweet Escape.
Hey all! It feels like a long time since my last post. But work’s been crazy lately with my role kind of shifting, and of course some last minute stuff that usually happens before going on vacation… Plus lots of…
By the time we got to St. Maarten on our Eastern Caribbean cruise, we were already quite content with all the adventures we’d been on, so luckily I had planned to just go around the island on our own, without…
If I were to pick a place to come back to in the Caribbean at some point for a long, relaxing stay, it would probably be Antigua (pronounced an-tee-ga by most of the natives we ran into). At this point…
On our shore excursion at St. Kitts, we opted to explore the island in a way that was a bit more exciting than your usual coach bus: stand up paddleboarding. This was booked through Carnival and went rather smoothly (and…

Around March or April of this year, I had a crazy urge to go somewhere. Anywhere warm, with beaches, and somehow got it in my head that a last-minute cruise would be the cheapest possible way to do it. We…
Yay! Photo dump time! Okay, so I’ve gotten pretty exhausted from blogging about Japan, mostly because I keep thinking of all the other things I still want to do. Also, maybe because for this post, I only have a bunch…
We were already having an amazing time halfway through our day in Kyoto, and still there were plenty more sights to see. Tofuku-ji Temple Kyoto is known for its many, many temples, and we were mostly there to hit a…
Our Kyoto day trip (don’t even get me started on how we should’ve spent at least 2 days there) started out really exciting, or uh, stressful. We were going on one of Japan’s high-speed trains called “shinkansen”, and therefore had…
Our third day in Tokyo was spent going around Shinjuku and Shibuya yet again, with a bit more emphasis on sightseeing and shopping, though certainly not lacking in good (but relatively cheap) food. We started with a quick breakfast of…
