• Mini Southwest US Road Trip

    The day after Thanksgiving, I hopped a flight to Phoenix to see family and to meet up with my friend and fellow travel blogger, Danial Shah, to go on a mini road trip to see a bit of the Southwest US. In a week’s time, it felt like we’d spent perhaps a bit too much

  • A Look Back at 2014

    I began 2014 completely exhausted after coming off several months of much-too-fast travel and without any sort of direction. Do I keep traveling even though the thought of being on the go makes my stomach hurt? Or do I lie low and go back to work even though the thought of sitting in a cubicle

  • Tips on What to do in Albuquerque

  • South Philly Food Tour

    Over 1.5 million people call Philadelphia home, and of that number, around 600,000 are immigrants. That means one amazing thing in my eyes: diversity. Of culture, of language, and especially food. I visited Philadelphia last weekend with one mission: go on a food tour of South Philly with my friends Dana and Chad, who run

  • Photo Friday: Philadelphia

    I’m not typically a fan of overly processed photos, but I loved playing with this photo of Philadelphia’s skyline. I made probably 15 different edits of this in a variety of ways, but I loved this super saturated and colorful version of this city that I love. I usually stay with friends when I go
