Brisbane is, so far, the city that feels the most "me." Brisbane is: Sunny Warm Close to the ocean Silly and off-beat Filled with juices + markets Relaxed and chill Growing up I associated Australia with myself because of my name, and thus had always wanted to visit. I do wish that we could've fit … Continue reading Australia: Brisbane

Cabin Weekend: Champagne & Hot Tubs
One thing I kind of stopped doing is blogging tons of photos and details about every little adventure that I have. I didn't stop because I don't like sharing, but because I felt like it didn't really happen unless I shared it. Am I oversharing with this blog post? I don't know, but I want … Continue reading Cabin Weekend: Champagne & Hot Tubs
Tomb Raiding: Ta Prohm
Whewww it's been a long time, huh?! I'll excuse myself for taking it reeeal easy on winter break, and then just generally not feeling like blogging. Hey, just being real. I hope your year is off to a good start excepting politics. I've been reading a bunch and keeping up with exercising for the most … Continue reading Tomb Raiding: Ta Prohm
How to Find an Airbnb
Since I found out about airbnb, it has been my to-go lodging resource when scoping out a new travel destination. Some of its perks are: getting a feel for the local vibe, meeting residents of the town, visiting a new home, getting personalized recommendations of the area, and having more space and often being cheaper … Continue reading How to Find an Airbnb
Home! & Illness Recap
Currently It is SO wonderful to be home. Two months away is a long time. My time in Cambodia was awesome - so full of experiences, culture, new people and things - but it was exhausting. I was on the move every one to four nights, always re-packing and unpacking and re-packing again to stay … Continue reading Home! & Illness Recap
My Birthday in the Maldives
I was ill a few days of our vacation, but I am so grateful that my birthday wasn't one of them. I turned 28 on Thursday, August 5. The night before, I saw the date on my watch and figured it must have fast-forwarded when I re-set the time earlier in the week. We hadn't … Continue reading My Birthday in the Maldives
Peaceful Paradise
Blending and contrast of a range of shades of perfect blues The Indian ocean teeming with wild sea-life The only sounds are the breeze, the waves, the crows, and the occasional conversation Staying in a room a stone's throw and zero stairs from the ocean Our shoes haven't moved from the spot we took … Continue reading Peaceful Paradise
Sunset at Phnom Bakheng
Sometimes it makes sense to do the most popular tourist destination when it's the most crowded. Normally I like to try to see the site my own way - avoiding crowds, taking a different path, etc. But there's a reason that popular places get crowded! The major spot to see the sunset in Siem Reap … Continue reading Sunset at Phnom Bakheng
Face to Face with Wild Elephants
I can't remember where I heard about it, but as soon as I found out I knew I needed to go. In a province east of Phnom Penh, there are elephant reserves; you can sign up for a trip to go into the jungle and visit the elephants. When my parents visited for two weeks, … Continue reading Face to Face with Wild Elephants
Wat Phnom
Wat Phnom is a must-see if you're in Phnom Penh. It doesn't take a lot of time, as it's fairly small, but it's very important: it was the first temple built in the city. A woman named Penh arrived to the area a long time ago (14th century), found this hill, built a shrine on it … Continue reading Wat Phnom
