The actual last post of our honeymoon trip…2 months ago! It’s been a while so I’m going to write a bit less and just have you enjoy these photos – because I was so jetlagged while visiting that I really only experienced the city in a blur of sparkling lights and delicious treats. We stopped…

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…
Mauritius
I run into the awful habit of not being caught up on my blogposts before flying away to my next fun trip, so in these next few days I’m going to finish uploading all our honeymoon pictures & posts before attending a wedding in Florida (+ going to Disney!) next weekend. I’m not quite sure…
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…
Franschhoek, South Africa
We’d planned on taking a day trip to wine country – mostly Stellenbosch – during our stay in Cape Town, but the friends we made in Kruger convinced us that we needed to stay at least a few days. So, we switched our itinerary and booked a stay at the Franschhoek Country House & Villas ,…
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…
Cape Town, South Africa
According to a “Here’s where you should live based on your Myers-Briggs type” articles (quality journalism, aka guilty pleasure), I should live in Cape Town. And they’re probably completely right – Cape Town has it ALL: Great food, adventure sports, beaches, mountains/hiking, fascinating cityscape, etc. Not only is the city itself wonderful, it’s a great…
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…
Rhode Island (2018)
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…
