Spending Halloween in New Orleans has been on my bucket list for ages, and I couldn't believe I was finally doing it! This is a city known for its mysterious past, voodoo culture, and wild celebrations, so it's no wonder that this is one of the best city's to celebrate Halloween in. With New Orleans [...]
Cooking has never been a strength of mine – not because I am bad at it, but because I am messy. Every time I cook it looks like a tornado has hit, so when I travel, instead of cooking things myself and creating a disaster in the kitchen of the hostels and AirBnbs I stay [...]
When I told people I was going to Bulgaria, they freaked out. It was 5 months after the war in Ukraine started and even though Bulgaria is petty far from Ukraine, friends, and family did not want me to go. I assured them everything would be fine. Well, one week led to another, and [...]
“How do you find so many cool places when you travel?” This is the question I seem to get asked the most, and I love answering it, but it's come to a point where I am getting asked this question on a daily basis and instead of responding to everyone with the same mundane [...]
It's been awhile since I wrote my last shop local series on Washington State! Since people loved that post, I thought it's time I write another one. This one is coming right after a trip I took to Louisiana. I want to support all the amazing business owners I met and the local products [...]

I had the opportunity to visit Castell De Pontons - A winery in the Penedes region of Spain about an hour drive from Barcelona. This turned out to be one of [...]
I LOVE Christmas. I don't just love it. I am obsessed with the holiday. Everything from the sparkling decorations, too hot chocolate by the fire, there isn't a time of year that beats it in terms of coziness. When I moved to Washington, I couldn't contain the excitement I felt when I realized I [...]
Life as we know it is entirely different, and I think we all know why *ahem* the virus which must not be named. If this last year has taught me anything, it's that I spend way more money during a pandemic than I do in my everyday life. I am not proud to say, but [...]
Bright sparkly lights, world-renowned DJ's, pool parties, and hordes of obnoxious drunk 20-somethings are what come to my mind when I think of Nevada, but after a recent trip, I took there, my perception of the state has completely changed. Nevada is beautiful with tons to see & do, and it has unexpectedly become one [...]
