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 […]
>> 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.

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, […]

Arriving in Costa Rica, we were put on a little hopper plane that would take us to the Osa Peninsula from San Jose. Being weighed before boarding, I was certainly nervous as […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of Columbus Tower in San Francisco. The Columbus Tower is one of my favorite buildings in all of San Francisco. Located on the border of the Financial District, its copper-green Flatiron style makes it standout amongst all the other more modern […]
I didn’t know a whole lot about Central America or Costa Rica before visiting, but if there’s one thing I knew, it was pura vida. Literally meaning “pure life”, this little phrase commonly used as a greeting packs a big punch. Pura vida is Costa Rica’s namaste; acknowledging gratitude and living life to the fullest.

Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of San Francisco Bay. One of the reasons I adore San Francisco so much is that it seemingly has everything I want in a city. Rolling hills, an impressive skyline, and the waterfront. Of course I enjoyed the city wandering around by […]
