New York City exudes an energy like no other city in the world. Each time I visit, I discover new things to experience as I relish the many things that I have delighted in before. But there is always something new. THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE The world’s first steel suspension bridge—is a beloved landmark and a [...]

TAKING A BITE OUT OF THE BIG APPLE
I have been back from NYC for a couple of days now and I’ve got to say, as much as the city was a ton of fun, I’m happy to be home. My tummy is happy to be home too – I think I stuffed it past the point of reason! SHAKE SHACK A Shake [...]
A NEW YORK LOVE AFFAIR
Coming from the Northwest, I know that I have arrived in New York City when the first sights I see are the electrifying glow of Times Square and the hustle and bustle of endless yellow taxi cabs. Usually when I travel to New York, I know I'm going to splurge in a big way. But [...]
VOODOO QUEEN of N’AWLINS
Opened in 1789, this is the oldest of the Saint Louis Cemeteries and among the notables buried here is Voodoo priestess Marie Laveau; Bernard de Marigny, the French-Creole aristocrat and politician who founded both the Faubourg Marigny and Mandeville, Louisiana; Barthelemy Lafon, the architect and surveyor who allegedly became one of Jean Lafitte's pirates; Paul [...]
LIVE LIKE IT’S YOUR LAST
Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is the day before Lent, on which you live like it’s your last and indulge in the temptations of life. Attending New Orleans’s Mardi Gras had been a dream of mine since college when I met one of my dear friend Chelsea who is from Nawlins. Seeing pictures in magazines and [...]
UP IN THE CLOUDS
As I entered Cloud Forest, everything looked so alien that I felt as if I was thrown into the Jurassic period. The entire conservatory was cold and misty. There was a waterfall cascading down a 35-meter tall mountain covered with plants such as orchids, ferns, begonias and pitcher plants. I absolutely loved it! And once [...]
TO INFINITY & BEYOND
When I found out I was coming to Singapore, I remembered coming across a magazine article of the most incredible pool in the world. Suspended from 3 towers. An infinity pool unlike any other. A pool of my wildest dreams. This pool is the SkyPark at the top of Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore, [...]
PHUKETASTIC!
From Laos, we headed back to Thailand – but instead of going back to Bangkok, we went to Phuket! Anyone you ask has a different opinion about this mystical place based on their mentality. One person will say it's dirty, loud and full of tourists. Another will say it's like Candyland for adults, filled with [...]
THE SIGHTS OF VIENTIANE
After spending 3 day in Bangkok, we made a last min. decision to fly over to Laos! We originally planned to be there for 2 days, but since we were loving Vientiane so much we extended our stay for another couple days! Here’s what we did: ^^ We rented mopeds and nearly got ourselves killed [...]
EXPLORING WAT PHO
This past November, I had the privilege of making my first trip to Thailand – Bangkok, to be more specific. Having heard so much about both the city and the country as a whole, I wasn’t quite sure where to begin exploring. Top of my To-Do List of course, were Wat Pho (Temple of the [...]
BANGKOK’S FLOATING MARKET
A long desired tick off my travel wish list was experiencing one of Thailand’s floating markets. Located about 1.5 hours from Bangkok – Damnoen Saduak is one of the most popular floating markets around. The area is made up of some 200 canals and taking a boat along them gives you an opportunity to see [...]
