Growing up with one of the world’s top art museums basically in our backyard, I guess I got pretty spoiled. I assumed all art museums were of a similar quality to the one here in Chicago, but later in life found out just how wrong that assumption was. I was excited to pay the Indianapolis […]
Leaving Indianapolis, one of the things we were most impressed with was the food. Supposedly Indy wasn’t always this cool, but as the city underwent its hip revival, along with it came a whole new food scene to match. And let me assure you, there is no shortage of things to eat in Indy. Just take a drive down […]
You might find this hard to believe, but I’m a pretty indecisive person. I’m one of those people that’ll sit there arguing back and forth for thirty minutes over what I eat for dinner…I dunno, what do you want? It gets even worse when it comes to actually making a decision about booking travel. As much as […]
Today’s post comes from the lovely Jenny Marshall, who you may remember as one of this month’s featured bloggers. Jenny is a language and culture fanatic. She’s originally from California but has lived for three years in Spain, now based in Barcelona. She teaches English to fill the bank, writes to fill her soul, and attempts that […]
Ihate to admit it, but by the time we reached Vienna, I was pretty burnt out. As the half-way point in our trip, I feel like I didn’t give Vienna a proper chance. It wasn’t that I didn’t like the city, but it just seemed to be missing that special something. Looking back I really can’t find […]
Costa Rica is continually called the greenest country in the world. While we didn’t know what could kill us there, we at least knew this little fact prior to our arrival. Although despite knowing this, we just didn’t know the extent of how green it would really be. You want to know how green? People don’t […]
I have to admit, one of my favorite things about Chinese New Year is the food. Like many Chinese holidays, CNY is a time filled with traditions— and one of those traditions is to stuff yourself with auspicious foods in hopes of having good luck and fortune in the coming year. With that being said, I’m excited to share a […]
>> Check 200+ Hotels in San Jose – Costa Rica Our decision to go to Costa Rica was on a whim, and apart from buying durable hiking shoes, we were not prepared. As we arrived we heard many of the locals allude to the dangers of Costa Rica, I mean, it is mainly rainforest after […]
Tomorrow begins the Year of the Sheep (or today for all of my friends and family back in Hong Kong)! Of course, we’ll be celebrating Chinese New Year in Chicago, but the truth is, the celebrations have actually already begun. Last weekend we had the privilege of joining the Chinese-American Museum of Chicago in their celebration of the […]
Thursday marks the beginning of Chinese New Year, so like usual, we’re busy preparing to welcome the Year of the Sheep even though we’re back in the US! This will be the first year that I’ll be celebrating Chinese New Year outside of China. After spending my past two CNY’s in Hong Kong, a city known for its extravagant celebrations, […]
