Rock climbing in Joshua Tree is a bucket list experience. Located just 2.5 hours east of Los Angeles, Joshua Tree…
There is nothing like the drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles, along the California coast. When Kevin and I…
There are no shortage of Napa Valley wine tours for couples. But the Napa Valley Wine Train is certainly the…
What are the best things to do in San Diego for kids? Now that Kevin and I are parents with…
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…
Today, we made the brave decision to drive from Bogota to Villa De Leyva with a stop in between at a salt cathedral in the town of Zipaquira. It’s a great combo trip and relatively easy to do — especially if you have patience and nerves of steel. Driving in Colombia…
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…
We’ve been finding ourselves in Downtown LA a lot lately. Six years ago when Kevin and I first moved to West Hollywood, we would occasionally brave a trip downtown… more out of curiosity than anything. There were a few coffee shops we enjoyed, but nothing that made us really want to spend…
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…

Every Monday, there is that typical question at the office… So what did you do last weekend? A movie? Or that boring response of “nothing much”? But my office mates were intrigued when I told them about a California State Park with hundreds of acres of citrus groves. And in…
We were living in LA for at least 2 years before I heard about Idyllwild, California — a tiny mountaintop artist community that most pass right by while zipping to Palm Springs for the weekend. As one of the residents told me and Kevin, if you make it here 2…
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…
I think my mom has found her new favorite place in California. Yesterday, I wrote about our first day experiencing the foodie adventures in Ojai. The fun continues as we hit the Sunday Farmer’s Market and take a cooking class at the Lavender Inn just steps away. Sunday – Day…
