We’re back from a little blog hiatus. So much travel — so little time (or maybe more importantly, Internet access!). For the past 2 weeks, we’ve been in South Africa and Zambia having some crazy adventures. However, just as we were about to book that trip a few months back, we got…
My birthday celebration continues. And this year, I wanted to celebrate in a place that most people I know never even heard of — San Miguel de Allende in Central Mexico. Combined with a walking tour in nearby Guanajuato, it makes the perfect 3-day weekend from the West Coast. Great…
The inspiration behind this blog was not only to find a creative writing outlet, but to share some of the fun and sometimes downright crazy things we uncover. And in the Los Angeles area there are so many great road trips. Just a 20 minute drive, the San Gabriel Valley…
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 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…
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…
Kevin and I stayed in LA this weekend (for once!). I figured we were long overdue for a local food road trip. Now, I’m not ashamed to say it — we have a weakness for dumplings. Okay, it’s not the healthy Los Angeles diet regime. But sometimes we just want a little comfort food. Since moving here 7 years…
This past weekend, our friend Kate officially tied the knot and had a destination wedding in Santa Barbara. We had such a blast! Though, such a scenic location can come with a high price tag. But here we’ll share some well-researched ideas and tips to keep your costs low –…
