After a few days in Tokyo, we took the Shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto. One of the first things on the to-see list in Kyoto was the nearby town of Arashiyama. It’s home to a beautiful bamboo forest, incredible gardens and a monkey park. We got up early the next morning to visit all three […]
I just came back from a casual (ha!) 2-week jaunt across Japan and Singapore, and don’t know where to start. It’s impossible to capture the culture and complexity of these countries with just a few blog posts, so instead I am going to focus on the highlights of my trip. First up: a neighborhood in […]
Earlier this month, I was craving a long weekend away from work to disconnect. After researching cheap flights, I ended up in Milwaukee. A little random, but I’d heard it’s a fun city. After a long weekend there I can confirm that, yes, Milwaukee is awesome (when it’s not freezing). Add it to your travel […]

I’m no food blogger, and certainly not a food photographer (as you’ll see), but these were some of my favorite Sedona restaurants. Elote Cafe Elote Cafe is […]

Last month, my husband and I kicked off a week-long, three-city Arizona road trip by hiking the Bright Angel Trail at the Grand Canyon. Sedona and Phoenix were the other road trip stops — blog posts to come! Admittedly, I didn’t love the Grand Canyon, but I’m glad I was able to visit. If it’s […]

Hot chicken, barbecue and good ol’ southern cooking are staples in the city. But I’m going to let you in on a secret: Music City is home to some of the most diverse, innovative cuisine around! […]
Thanks to the holidays, I was lucky to squeeze in one more trip this year — to Nashville! Known as Music City and for honky tonk, I figured I’d be listening to twang at every turn. But, as you’ll see, there’s so much more to Nashville than its country roots. In this post, I share […]
As I reflect back on 2018, I feel grateful for all of the amazing places I was able to visit and the memories I made. While it’s difficult to pinpoint my favorite vacation of the year, I can narrow down my top three travel moments of 2018. I hope you enjoy reading about them. Maybe […]
