Someone chided me for the lack of blogposts this year, and I had to sheepishly say “well we haven’t travelled anywhere fun this year to be able to write about it!” But I suppose this blog has evolved into more of a lifestyle update than a fun adventurous guide, anyway, so here’s some updates for…

Disney & Sanibel Island with a Baby
Apparently “real travelers” make fun of Disney-goers. I suppose it’s not as exotic or “authentic” as a backpacking trip across Southeast Asia…but I say why not enjoy BOTH? We love our backpacking adventures in middle-of-nowhere countries, but we also love a good Disney trip. We would be sad if this were our idea of a…
Maui, Hawaii
As we promised, we didn’t stop traveling once we had a baby…on the contrary, as soon as S finished her 2 month vaccines, we were on a 12 hour plane ride past the other side of the country. We booked this trip when S was around 1 month. We wanted to see how she was…
Cape Cod, MA
Well, this travel blog is mostly dead for 2020 given the COVID pandemic, but we are making do with the best we can given the circumstances. We’d planned trip to Spain last year to celebrate the end of my first year of MBA, as well as a trip to Banff to celebrate my best friend’s…
Key West, Miami, & Universal Studios
Right after we found out that our international trips were cancelled, a few friends and I scrambled to find something warm and domestic for a few days. The closest thing we could find was Florida, so we tacked on a few days in the Keys since I’d never been there before. I had plans to…
San Andres Island & Cartagena, Colombia
It’s 10 PM on a Monday, the last week of the term, which means I really should be studying for my upcoming finals this week. This also means I’m (supposedly) going on my next international trip in only 4 days, and I still haven’t caught up on my blogposts from my last trip! I say…
Catalina Island & LA Area (2019)
Finally, I’m all caught up on travel blogging, and I don’t even have a huge trip coming up soon – just a long weekend in the White Mountains for fall break, and no huge trips until January after that! We are almost at the end of our first term, and while people are starting to…
Pacific Coast Highway
My last trip before heading off to bschool, back in early August, was a roadtrip down the Pacific Coast Highway for a slightly early 1-year anniversary trip. It’s a bit crazy to think that I only started school a little over a month ago, and our 1 year anniversary was only a month ago –…
Qingdao, China
Our time in Qingdao was a whirlwind; we ended up only having 2 days here. I didn’t think we would need that much time here, since it’s not as touristy as Shanghai or Beijing, but in reality I wish that we had stayed longer because it was probably the best city we visited in China….
Cebu, Philippines
Once again, I am delinquent on my blog posts, and I am hustling to finish all the ones from last month’s Asia trip before my next trip this Friday (ah!). I officially started funemployment this past Monday evening, and have not gotten my last paycheck yet so I’m sure I will feel my changed financial…
