Amsterdam was the first place I have ever travelled alone. I was super anxious about it, but turns out, it is a great place to be a solo traveler. There is tons to see and do, and passing the time is easy when you can sit at a cafe along the canal, and take in […]
For our Christmas present this year, my brother and sister-in law, generously offered to take both sides of the family to Disney World. They had gone last year and had a blast so they decided they wanted to go again, this time with the entire fam. So my parents and I, and Mindy’s parents accompanied […]
I have always heard great things from friends who have traveled to Vietnam. It’s been someplace I’ve wanted to visit for a while now, and was finally able to get there on the heels of a work trip to Hong Kong. I would have loved more time to visit central and southern Vietnam, but with […]
Vietnam is someplace I’ve wanted to visit for a while, but because it’s so far away, it has been on the back burner. However, when I decided to go to Hong Kong for a work conference, I figured it would be a perfect addition to the trip since geographically, it’s relatively close. Due to time […]
Hong Kong was never on the top of my list of places to go. However, I knew I had to jump at the chance to visit when a presentation I submitted at the Hong Kong Speech and Hearing Symposium was accepted. When my friend and former roommate, Marisa, decided to go with me, I was […]

New York City is the best, but sometimes a city break is an absolute necessity. During the summer, a beach day is a nice escape. But fall is a perfect time to explore the hiking trials and cute towns upstate, along the Hudson River. Beacon, New York and Storm King Art Center Storm King Art […]
It’s been a busy summer and now that things are finally setting down, I’m back to the blog. In addition to my annual vacation to my family’s lake house, I was also lucky enough to go to Charleston, South Carolina in June. I’ve always wanted to go to Charleston, so I was excited it when […]
Prague has been number one on my bucket list since college. It sounds ridiculous, but ever since I watched the movie, Chasing Liberty with Mandy Moore (a part of which took place in Prague), I had to go. Years went by, and for one reason or another, Prague just hadn’t happened yet. But last year, […]
Prague has been number one on my bucket list for years. I can’t even describe how excited I was to plan the trip, let alone set foot in the city. It was a surprisingly emotional moment for me when we arrived, because it was something I had looked forward to for so long, and it […]
