It’s been a crazy busy July for us — hence the lack of recent blog posts. But it doesn’t mean we’ve slowed down on our travels. Kevin has been crunching on a big work project — so as a reward, his company sent everyone on an all-expenses paid vacation to…
Kevin and I have been on a cooking craze lately — trying out about half a dozen cooking schools in Los Angeles just this past year alone. We love it since it combines Kevin’s love to take classes, and well, my love of eating! What we learned is that each school…
The traditional foods of Iceland might not be to everyone’s liking — you know those Vikings and their palates for all things fermented! In fact, celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain said the only food he’d never try again would be the Icelandic delicacy of fermented shark. Now that’s pretty bad. I’ve…
One activity we’d highly recommend is taking a whale watching tour in Husavik, often billed as the whale watching capital of Europe, or even the world. I have to admit — the last time I went whale watching was a little scarring. It was a family vacation in Maine where we all got completely…
Planning a trip to Iceland and overwhelmed by all the options? I certainly was! I spent months planning our 10-day Icelandic itinerary — making sure we wouldn’t miss any Instagram-worthy hot spots (obviously!) but also planning stops to escape the tourism onslaught. After all, the secret on Iceland is out — with an…
Kevin and I recently returned from spending 10 days in Iceland – and what an incredible vacation. For most visitors, your first stop will be in Reykjavik, the country’s largest city (population just 120,000). While tiny compared to most major European cities, Reykjavik certainly packs a punch. Whether you’re doing a layover or starting your…
Kevin and I visited San Diego for the weekend and decided to do a quick day trip across the border into Tijuana (check out our top-rated 1-day itinerary here). Kevin humored me with my Tijuana idea… As he responded something along the lines of “Oh, Tijuana? If you want to go, I guess…” Not…
When I suggested a day trip South of the border to Tijuana, I could see the confusion on Kevin’s face. Tijuana?? Ignore all the bad publicity. Tijuana is becoming an increasingly popular tourist destination for foodies – along with nearby Mexican wine region Valle De Guadalupe. Go with an open mind,…
LA Weekly is one of my go-to places to find out about events around town. Whether it’s the latest food craze or some weird, only-in-LA kind of wellness trend like floating in a sensory deprivation tank. Because why not? Stacks of the latest issue of LA Weekly and the 2017 Essentials But one…
This past fall, Kevin and I spent 2 weeks in Japan and loved our time in Tokyo. But it’s not like we can hop on a flight there every weekend. Little Tokyo in downtown Los Angeles is pretty much the next best thing. Though, you won’t find any owl cafe’s…
