San Francisco For how often I used to visit SF for work, I’ve never spent time being a true tourist. So, when a trip to Yosemite got planned (separate blogpost on that to come), I spent the rest of my downtime visiting some of SF’s most touristy sites (no shame!). It’s always wonderful visiting such…

The Eastern Cape & Panorama Route
On our way back from Kruger National Park, we were able to spend some time on the Panorama Route and various towns in the eastern cape. It was fascinating observing the differences between the Eastern and Western Cape – the Eastern Cape is a bit quieter, and a bit less cosmopolitan. We spent a full…
The Garden Route, South Africa
Dear reader, It’s Saturday morning in Boston, on March 2nd, and it’s blizzarding outside. Currently I’m regretting my choice of signing up for a FlyWheel class this morning, forcing me to trek out into the snow. So instead, I’m reliving sunnier times in SOUTH AFRICA. The Garden Route was the last leg of our South…
Cape Peninsula, South Africa
The Cape of Good Hope was a beautiful day trip from Cape Town, as the farthest point was only 1.5 hours away. This was a great sightseeing drive and apparently ranks with the most scenic drives in the world. We rented a car and planned on doing the Cape Peninsula our last day in the…
Lake Placid/Upstate New York
And with that, 2018 is over. This was quite a momentous year, although it didn’t compare with the craziness of 2017. Select highlights: M and I officially got married in August, and then had our wedding celebration in October, and the second half of the year was focused on applying to business school. In December…
We’re Married!
All photos by Hyde Photography The second half of this year was slow on travel because…we were getting ready for our wedding! On August 18, 2018 we had our legal ceremony in Central Park, officiated by our friend KP & witnessed by a maid of honor and best man. It was a simple ceremony, done…
Door County, Wisconsin
Door County, Wisconsin I’d almost forgotten to write this blogpost, because our trip to Wisconsin felt like a normal weekend away with family. We took an extended Labor Day Weekend to visit M’s summer vacation spot when he was growing up. Most of M’s extended family still lives within a tiny radius of the Milwaukee…
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…
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…
