A trip to Marfa, Texas can be daunting. First, there is the logistics of getting there (with El Paso as the closest airport, then a 3 hour drive!). And let’s not forget how difficult it is to find a hotel (luckily the tiny town of Alpine, just 30 minutes East…
We just wrapped our trip to Marfa, Texas – a celebrity hot spot and considered Texas’ homegrown version of Brooklyn (or pretty much what Austin strives to be). Kevin and I have traveled a lot, but nothing really prepared us for our visit. There are so many “norms” in Marfa we’ve never experienced anywhere…
In my previous post, I wrote about how celebrities and artists flock to Marfa, Texas. For our second day in West Texas, we decided to mix it up, and break away from all the Marfa madness with a side trip to Big Bend National Park. Even if you’re planning just a weekend in…
We made it to Marfa, Texas! Never heard of it? Well, you’re definitely not alone. I can’t tell you how many people asked, “Who is Marta?” And probably wondered why we were visiting her in Texas. Marfa (not MARTA!) has long been on list of places to check out ever…
Typically, Kevin and I love to take a 2 week vacation. For most Americans, taking 2 full weeks of vacation is often seen as extravagant (as our European friends know, this barely scratches the surface to truly get away). This year, however, we were both short on time due to…
I can’t believe the trip to Cartagena is coming to an end. Today we decided to get outside the city and try something different. A lot of people come for the beaches but we decided for the weird – to climb inside a volcano filled with mineral-rich mud with therapeutic…
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…
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…
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…
Short on time but want to see the best of Vietnam? Below is my itinerary after months of research. Okay, so this is a packed itinerary (requiring several morning wake-up calls before 6 AM!). To say it’s ambitious is an understatement. But hey, by the end of this trip, you…
