It’s the last leg of our four-day journey. And what a journey it’s been – starting off in Los Angeles and driving nearly to the very top of California to see the volcanic Lassen National Park and the snowy peak of Mt. Shasta. Then, turning around to drive through wine country, San Francisco…
A trip to Marfa, Texas can be daunting. First, there is the logistics of getting there (with El Paso as the closest airport, then a 3 hour drive!). And let’s not forget how difficult it is to find a hotel (luckily the tiny town of Alpine, just 30 minutes East…
We just wrapped our trip to Marfa, Texas – a celebrity hot spot and considered Texas’ homegrown version of Brooklyn (or pretty much what Austin strives to be). Kevin and I have traveled a lot, but nothing really prepared us for our visit. There are so many “norms” in Marfa we’ve never experienced anywhere…
In my previous post, I wrote about how celebrities and artists flock to Marfa, Texas. For our second day in West Texas, we decided to mix it up, and break away from all the Marfa madness with a side trip to Big Bend National Park. Even if you’re planning just a weekend in…
We made it to Marfa, Texas! Never heard of it? Well, you’re definitely not alone. I can’t tell you how many people asked, “Who is Marta?” And probably wondered why we were visiting her in Texas. Marfa (not MARTA!) has long been on list of places to check out ever…
Typically, Kevin and I love to take a 2 week vacation. For most Americans, taking 2 full weeks of vacation is often seen as extravagant (as our European friends know, this barely scratches the surface to truly get away). This year, however, we were both short on time due to…
During our trip to Colombia, Kevin and I ate at some of the best restaurants in the country including Bogota’s famous restaurant Carne De Res (a freak show/restaurant all wrapped in one). You won’t go hungry in Cartagena – that’s for sure. Some of the best meals can be found here,…
I can’t believe the trip to Cartagena is coming to an end. Today we decided to get outside the city and try something different. A lot of people come for the beaches but we decided for the weird – to climb inside a volcano filled with mineral-rich mud with therapeutic…
Whenever I mentioned that I was going to Medellin, it was easy to figure out who’s a fan of Netflix’s Narcos. For the rest of you living under a rock, the series is about Pablo Escobar’s rise as Colombia’s most notorious drug lord (and short-lived time as congressman). The series…
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…
