On our shore excursion at St. Kitts, we opted to explore the island in a way that was a bit more exciting than your usual coach bus: stand up paddleboarding. This was booked through Carnival and went rather smoothly (and…
Despite the unseasonably warm weather in New York City recently (70-degree weather when it’s usually 40-50 degree weather), I find myself missing beach season during the nippy mornings or evenings when I’m commuting to and from work. I could blame…
Around March or April of this year, I had a crazy urge to go somewhere. Anywhere warm, with beaches, and somehow got it in my head that a last-minute cruise would be the cheapest possible way to do it. We…
Yay! Photo dump time! Okay, so I’ve gotten pretty exhausted from blogging about Japan, mostly because I keep thinking of all the other things I still want to do. Also, maybe because for this post, I only have a bunch…
We were already having an amazing time halfway through our day in Kyoto, and still there were plenty more sights to see. Tofuku-ji Temple Kyoto is known for its many, many temples, and we were mostly there to hit a…
Our Kyoto day trip (don’t even get me started on how we should’ve spent at least 2 days there) started out really exciting, or uh, stressful. We were going on one of Japan’s high-speed trains called “shinkansen”, and therefore had…

Boracay is known for being a party island, and every year during peak season a crazy number of tourists come to mingle with celebrities, see the fireworks, and experience the big beach parties that it’s well-known for. BUT, that doesn’t…
I’ve been to Boracay several times as you probably know, and I’ve tried different restaurants with every visit, but this is probably my favorite to date. Thanks to my BFF Mshel, who found this restaurant on a list of the…
Today was a lots-of-cream-and-sugar-in-my-coffee kind of day. This usually follows a dessert-for-dinner kind of night (which I guess is a happy night). Sugar really is my drug. The more I have it, the more I can’t seem to live without…
