So, readers of the blog may know that I’m somewhat addicted to traveling. And about a year and a half ago, I took a trip to Germany to visit a long-lost friend. Since then, we’ve whatsapp’ed and remained in touch. A few months ago, she mentioned that she really wanted to get away on a trip and somehow, we decided… Read more »
Sorry I’ve been so quiet on the blog the last month or so. As you might remember, I mentioned that I was going on a trip with my husband for our anniversary. This trip was more than just a “get out-of-town to celebrate” kind of thing. You see, I have loved the idea of seeing the world ever since I… Read more »
In my previous post, I mused on how I developed the love for travel (OK, obsession). I know I sure as heck didn’t get it from my parents. But I can’t pass by a world map or an atlas without stopping to give it a long look. When you’re a kid, the world can seem very mysterious and foreign. That… Read more »
Astute readers of the blog may know that I’m pretty much addicted to travel. For me, traveling allows me to be more present in the moment, to experience different things, meet different people (whom I have no obligation to be completely personal about things because, well you know me), and see different places. I came from a family that really… Read more »
I’ve spent the past five days running around New York City, a combination of fun and work purposes. Over the weekend, my hubby and I spent time on the Lower East Side – hanging out at various little cozy restaurants, drinking in some classy and not-so-classy bars, walking all over lower Manhattan. Then on Monday, with work duties looming, we… Read more »
I just returned from a trip to the Pacific Northwest. As mentioned in a previous post, it’s hot in Austin in the summer and I was looking to take a break from the heat this summer. Plus, Washington was one of the last 6 states I had left to visit. So Seattle seemed to fit the bill in more ways… Read more »
In my previous post, I talked about trying to plan a summer getaway that would get me out of the blazing central Texas summer heat (and the intense sun). Well, the next day, I happened to be browsing kayak.com (What? Not everyone else just puts in random flight requests to see what’s possible?) when I saw that flights from Austin… Read more »
It’s mid-March and yes, I’m already thinking about summer. I live in Austin and it gets blazingly hot in summer here. I mean, this weekend we’re supposed to be close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 C)! So we’re already wondering how hot this summer is going to be. And you know, I love to travel. I love getting out somewhere… Read more »
As my late train from Berlin to Leipzig pulled into the station, I felt a surge of nervousness mixed with excitement. Hopefully, I would recognize Natasha on the platform. We had a back up plan, just in case we missed each other. But as soon as I started walking on the platform, I saw her, scanning the faces of the… Read more »
After the magic of Old Town Tallinn, I felt that I was ending the “wandering” part of my journey on a high note. Despite the rain on my last night and the morning of my departure, I was really enchanted with Estonia and definitely want to return to explore more of the country and meet more of its people. But… Read more »
