Just wanted to commemorate my beautiful female friends and our wonderful weekend together in Rhode Island for my bachelorette on this blog! For some, this was the first time they’d visited the state. For others, it’s a common weekend destination, especially for those in Boston who only needed to take a 45 minute commuter rail…

Sedona & Scottsdale, Arizona
Sedona & Scottsdale, Arizona A beautiful, albeit quick, weekend trip to the scorching desert with girlfriends IT and JF. There’s no one else I would’ve wanted to hike in 120 degree weather with! It’s super important for me to maintain my own life outside of “married life” – and not out of necessity (long distance…
Amsterdam
Amsterdam, Netherlands, June 2018 I’d made it a point to finish up my relevant blog posts before going on my next blog-worthy trip…but my girlfriends and I just spent a long weekend in Sedona (more on that later) and I am still putting together the pictures from the Europe trip from last month (almost two…
Prague, Czech Republic
Prague, Czech Republic Squeezing this blog post out in the midst of a few crazy months! I admit I’m a little frantic these days as I have a few deadlines approaching – and not just for our wedding (which is finally hitting me how much planning there is to do for it…). I’ll be away…
Dubrovnik, Croatia
I’m skipping over writing my Prague blogpost for now because…I accidentally overwrote half of my photos on my DSLR! Does anyone have suggestions for recovering them?? I’m not freaking out too much because I’m pretty sure nothing ever permanently disappears with today’s technology…but still. This reminds me that I need some permanent ways to store all…
Paris, France (2018)
At the beginning of the year, we once again planned on not traveling so much this year, since we have a ~wedding~ to save for later this fall! But, as always, the best laid plans often go awry, and when the opportunity came to spend some time in Europe this summer, of course we jumped…
Kauai, Hawaii
It’s only been less than a week since we’ve been back from Hawaii, and it feels like forever ago – but not in a bad way. I’m not the type to “wish I was back!” wherever I just left, and it helps a lot that I have a pretty fulfilling non-vacation life to come back…
Oahu, Hawaii
We hadn’t been planning on taking any other trips besides our summer Eurotrip this year before our wedding, but the opportunity came up to visit Hawaii for essentially free so we jumped on it. We’d always said we wouldn’t visit Hawaii except for friends’ weddings since it’s a really long trip for a destination that…
30 Days without Instagram + A Money Diary
And no, it’s not for Lent. I go into periods without social media once in a while. Usually it’s because I find it affecting my mental health (Insta-envy is real!), or I find it taking over my free time too much. This time, it started off as an accident. As most of you know, I…
turning a quarter century
I turned 25 recently. Depending on where you’re reading this from, that’s either really young, or that’s the age when you should already have multiple kids and a house. These days I’m surrounded by urban, highly-educated, non-religious colleagues & friends, so I think it’s still generally considered quite young. Most 25-year-olds in my circles are…
