In less than 3 months, Kevin and I will officially tie the knot in downtown Los Angeles. To celebrate, Kevin’s friends from his Stanford days invited us up to San Francisco for a low key celebration. It’s a great place to celebrate a gay bachelor party given San Francisco’s progressive attitudes…
Valle De Guadalupe remains one of our favorite travel destinations. We’ve come here over the past 5 years, and it truly gets better every time (check out our past blog posts here). But what’s most shocking to us is just how many of our friends in Los Angeles have never…
We’ve reached the end of our 5 day trip in Mexico City. And this year we came prepared for New Year’s Day — a day that nearly everything is shut down. And if you’re going for New Year’s Eve, I recommend you read my top 10 ideas for celebrating New…
Mexico City is a hot destination — especially around the holidays and the New Year. For the past several years, Kevin and I have headed south of the border to celebrate. But it didn’t take very long for us to realize that this place can be a dead zone on…
Puebla, the landlocked Mexican state located just 2 hours by car from Mexico City, is a fun and easy road trip that will mix things up on your Mexican adventure. It makes a great detour especially if you’re doing 5 days in Mexico City. We arrived! I stand in front…

For the past 5 years, Kevin and I have headed to Tampa, Florida for Christmas to visit my family. Rather than haul a bunch of gifts from LA, it’s become a tradition for us to do a big activity with the family. Kevin takes a break from all the snacking…
We’re back from the holidays! And so many blog posts to come from all our recent travels. Before heading out of Los Angeles, Kevin and I had the opportunity to take the very first wine and cheese pairing class at Eataly’s “La Scuola” (Italian for “School”). If you haven’t ever been to an Eataly,…
Each year, it has become a tradition to visit Las Vegas the weekend before Christmas. Check out our top picks from the last trip. There really isn’t a better time to visit — the hotel rates plummet, the weather isn’t unbearably hot and there are a lot less visitors in general….
I’m always on the lookout for the most unique things to do in LA. That’s when I came across the Los Angeles Zoo’s newest interactive program called “Hippo Encounter” ($15 per person; available only on weekends and holidays at 12 PM). The hippos come waddling out to see us! Kevin…
