Italy

For all of our European travel, neither of us had been to Italy before, so we were super excited to visit before our Barcelona vacation with M’s family. After a long layover in Brussels (nothing interesting to report there except for the beer and waffles, as expected), we arrived in Napoli to explore the south…

West Palm Beach, FL

This was so long ago that I don’t quite remember what to write, except that this was super relaxing! I had a few days to simply unplug and not worry about anything at work – I had just finished my last final for my masters and felt like I deserved it 😉 M had a…

Walt Disney World

It’s finally MAY! These past few months, as mentioned before, have been extremely quiet in terms of travel. We’ve been looking forward to this quick weekend getaway for almost half a year now, and it’s finally here!! When we’d planned this trip, we knew that if we made it to the last weekend of April/first weekend of…

Miami, Florida

As previously mentioned, M and I are taking a bit of a travel hiatus this “semester” as our time away from our respective jobs will be spent on non-vacation trips: weddings, interviews, weekend class, etc – and as we save up for some upcoming ~ big things~ (like our month- long travel this upcoming summer!)…

Catskills Mountains

Happy new year, everyone! Thanks for following along as I documented all my 2016 travels, but now a new year starts and real life begins. I will be traveling a lot less this year as we are currently saving up for a few things – plus I’m saving up my vacation time for some great…

London & Copenhagen (2016)

The holidays are always packed with people leaving for vacation at the office, so I decided to use my time before everyone started leaving to balance things out. After a few relaxing days celebrating Thanksgiving, I caught a red-eye flight from Boston to London, arriving the next morning. While not technically a “backpacking” trip, it…

Iceland

Iceland seems to be the new travel destination these days, with help from great flight deals via WOW air and Icelandair’s stopover program. This could be a decently affordable trip, with flight deals from around $300 round trip, almost all nature excursions, and meals mostly from groceries. Our trip wasn’t the most affordable since we…

Los Angeles

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…

Bermuda

*featured image is of a moondoor, said to be good luck to newly wedded couples if you kiss under it! “Bermuda is the right country for a jaded man to “loaf” in. There are no harassments; the deep peace and quiet of the country sink into one’s body and bones and give his conscience a…
