Most people that I’ve met and have gone to Colombia, take a b-line straight to Cartagena. It’s easy to see why – just 2 ½ hours from Miami by plane (seriously, that’s it!). And the flight leaves daily taking you straight into the tropics. And it is HOT – I…
Whenever I mentioned that I was going to Medellin, it was easy to figure out who’s a fan of Netflix’s Narcos. For the rest of you living under a rock, the series is about Pablo Escobar’s rise as Colombia’s most notorious drug lord (and short-lived time as congressman). The series…
We woke up at the crack of dawn today, and headed to the airport in Bogota (a place Kevin has become all too familiar with after we accidentally grabbed the wrong luggage upon arriving, oops!). Today’s plan was to head off to Colombia’s coffee region, flying to Peirera and then…
Today, we made the brave decision to drive from Bogota to Villa De Leyva with a stop in between at a salt cathedral in the town of Zipaquira. It’s a great combo trip and relatively easy to do — especially if you have patience and nerves of steel. Driving in Colombia…
So I’ve taken a little hiatus from blogging. And this is because I’ve been BUSY prepping for our little vacay in Colombia. When Kevin and I began researching possible places to visit, we realized Colombia is not only compact but incredibly cheap! From Los Angeles, we paid around $360 for…
We’ve been finding ourselves in Downtown LA a lot lately. Six years ago when Kevin and I first moved to West Hollywood, we would occasionally brave a trip downtown… more out of curiosity than anything. There were a few coffee shops we enjoyed, but nothing that made us really want to spend…
I’ve been wanting to visit the Antelope Valley Poppy Fields in Lancaster, California for at least 6 years now. And came up with a little road trip that combines a few fun things along the way (including a remote desert set where they shot scenes from Star Trek, Big Bang Theory…
It’s a road trip! This weekend, we headed about 1 hour North of Los Angeles to Lancaster, California. The remote desert city is home to mostly military families. But that’s not all – it has a road that plays the tune of the “William Tell Overture” as you drive over Avenue G….
Every Monday, there is that typical question at the office… So what did you do last weekend? A movie? Or that boring response of “nothing much”? But my office mates were intrigued when I told them about a California State Park with hundreds of acres of citrus groves. And in…
We were living in LA for at least 2 years before I heard about Idyllwild, California — a tiny mountaintop artist community that most pass right by while zipping to Palm Springs for the weekend. As one of the residents told me and Kevin, if you make it here 2…
