This was the first trip in a while that I took just for fun. It started with MF visiting NYC a few months ago and us joking about going to Disneyland (since we both loved DisneyWorld), and actually making it happen with a bundled trip to LA! I haven’t really visited the west coast since…

Rhode Island: Block Island
Originally I was planning on visiting Atlanta for my sister’s birthday but plans fell through, so I had a Labor Day weekend free! So, IT, PB, and I decided to take the time to go up to Rhode Island for part of the weekend. As I had to come back early to the city for…
Maine, Acadia National Park
Portland & Acadia National Park “The tops of mountains are among the unfinished parts of the globe, whither it is a slight insult to the gods to climb and pry into their secrets, and try their effect on our humanity. Only daring and insolent men, perchance, go there.” – Henry David Thoreau, The Maine Woods…

June 13-19 Five girls with very minimal Spanish abilities survived a week in the jungle. Amazing. ML (one of the girls on the trip) and I were talking about taking another trip together, since we tend to travel together at least once a year! As we’re both budget-savvy travelers, we searched our options for the…
Portland, Maine
August 2015 As a final hurrah before we officially started moved into our NYC apartment, we visited Boston and then took the car to travel up to Maine for a weekend. We were only able to get away for 3 days, so we didn’t quite make it up to Acadia National Park, but we stayed at state…
Cold Spring & Kykuit
Hudson River Valley, NY – September 2015 As we’re still settling into our apartment and exploring the city, we haven’t had a chance to really take as many trips as we’d like. Must make do with what we have, I suppose! I escaped my hot, no airconditioning apartment for a weekend to explore the hudson river valley (and…
Providence & Newport, RI
December 2015 We originally planned on taking a ski trip with our two other friends, but there was very minimal snow in mid-December. Instead, we all took a roadtrip to one of the only places within driving distance that I had not yet visited – the great state of Rhode Island. Completely feasible to do in…
East Coast Roadtrip
May 2015: Baltimore – Shenandoah National Park – Blue Ridge Mountains – Chesapeake Bay – Outer Banks – Raleigh, NC We had originally wanted to take a cross-country road trip, but that would have taken almost a month. Our second option was to fly to the west coast and loop around major landmarks and state…
White Mountains, NH
White Mountains, NH & Green Mountains, VT “Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, For I would ride with you upon the wind, Run on the top of the dishevelled tide, And dance upon the mountains like a flame.” – W.B.Yeats For fall break, we decided to take a roadtrip up to New Hampshire/Vermont…
