When I learned my friends were getting married in Mexico, I just knew this was the perfect opportunity to extend the trip into a longer vacation. And we did just that, turned a weekend trip into a week-long stay in Mexico City. Looking back on the week we spent Mexico City- I am in need of a serious need of a workout. While in the city, we ate amazing food around the clock! We also did some serious sightseeing and explorations. After doing ...

If you are remotely interested in crafts, antiques, independent shops, or food trucks, the Treasure Island Treasurefest is the event for you. The monthly flea market turned festival on the famous Treasure Island brings together vendors with a crowd of pleasant shoppers, and all around good vibes.

But 11 miles later, I completed one of the most beautiful, rewarding, and trying hikes I’ve done.

And I have to say, ...
Austin, TX for Memorial Day
Something about Texas for Memorial Day sounds just too American to pass up. So I packed up my cowboy boots and denim shirt and headed to Austin for a long Memorial Day weekend. Okay, I didn’t bring cowboy boots - but I was excited to head to Austin, a city I had been wanting to visit for some time. Saturday I arrived in Austin at around 12 pm on Saturday. Taking an early morning flight on Saturday saved me close to $200, an early wake-up call ...
