It took me until 2017 to finally take a trip to Paris. City of lights, city of love, city of great cocktails. While I took

I’m always looking for any excuse to take a trip to Tokyo. So when my friend said that she was going to Tokyo again and

With all my trips to Japan ever being awesome, and my last trip there being especially awesome, this trip had to live up to three prior

My trip to China didn’t fully satisfy my travel needs, so I was mulling over whether I should take another trip somewhere before the end

Full disclosure, I hadn’t been to the west coast since my family literally landed in America. That might’ve been back in the early 80’s. So

I didn’t actually know what to expect from my trip to Beijing. For one, China’s been on the ascendant for the last decade, and this

My first vacation as a functioning adult! I suppose looking back at the choice of London, it was a bit too safe of a destination.
