Make no mistake about it. Kevin and I will never be confused as your typical surfer dudes. But we sure do love a trip to San Diego. Over the years, we’ve discovered there is so much more to this city than just sandy beaches, its famed zoo and the touristy…
If there is one cuisine I can’t say no to, it’s Mexican. Let’s just say, I’ve been known to drive several hours for a tamale festival. And we once wandered through dark alleyways in LA — armed only with iPhones as flashlights — in search of a street stall serving…
One thing is certain — the New Year in Dubai is a big deal. We recently did a round-up of the biggest New Years Eve parties in Dubai — from beach parties to swanky black-tie affairs. Each year, millions of people cram into downtown Dubai to get a glimpse of…
One thing I was looking forward to doing in Dubai was trying plenty of Middle Eastern food. When I celebrated my landmark birthday earlier this year, Kevin and I were inspired to visit Singapore after watching Crazy Rich Asians and seeing its famed hawker stalls with Michelin star creds. And…
Kevin and I lived in San Francisco for several years before making the big move to Los Angeles. Truth be told, we had a tough time adjusting to LA after enjoying San Francisco’s incomparable food scene and its walkable bliss. No trip to San Francisco is complete without a stop…

One of our favorite ways to explore a new place is by doing a biking or walking tour. It combines our favorite things — burning off all the food we eat on vacation, and exploring places often not listed in our well-worn Lonely Planet guidebook. But more importantly — it…
One of our favorite things about Singapore was trying the street food. And we certainly ate a lot during our 3 days in Singapore. Unlike our typical vacations where we look for the best trendy restaurants in town, this trip was ALL about the hawker stalls. In this post, we’ll…
This year marked a landmark birthday for me. So the pressure was on for Kevin to go big. And not just because I surprised him last year for his 40th birthday with a 5-day road trip adventure through Alaska. Okay, maybe that did create some pressure to measure up! Kevin…
This year marked a landmark birthday (and no, I didn’t turn 21). When my husband Kevin asked me where I wanted to go this year, I didn’t hesitate and literally shouted Singapore. I gotta admit, we just watched Crazy Rich Asians. I loved the opulence. Plus, the street food looked…
