Traveling Denmark

After seeing multiple photos of Copenhagen’s famous Nyhavn waterfront, I decided to put it on my list of places I had to see for myself.  As luck would have it, I found a DIRT cheap ($294 round trip is impossible to pass up at any time) flight into London and out of Copenhagen, that worked […]

Top 5 – Copenhagen

Copenhagen has been on my bucket list solely based on how picturesque it looked.  I honestly had no idea what I would do there, but was excited to go nonetheless.  Although it is smaller and more low key than some other cities I have been, I found it to be a beautiful city to wander […]

Top 5 – Amsterdam

There is a ton to do in Amsterdam.  Which was lucky for me because it was the first stop on my first ever solo vacation.  Because there are so many things to see and do, trying to narrow down how to spend a limited amount of time in Amsterdam turned out to be the bigger […]

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 […]

Top 5 – Hong Kong

Yet again, I managed to turn a work trip into a pretty amazing vacation, after I was accepted to present at a conference in Hong Kong.  I knew I had to jump at the opportunity to present internationally for my career, but also to take advantage of visiting another country or two in Asia (more […]

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 […]
