When I think about traveling– places I’ve been and places I’d love to visit, I still think about my incredible trip to Japan. From the extraordinary food and welcoming hospitality, to the impressive blend of traditional and modern culture and the natural beauty of the country, Japan is unlike any other place. I’ve traveled to… Continue reading ANA Campaign
I ate a lot of sweets and desserts during my trip to Japan back in May 2018. Here’s a list of what I ate in each city and if it’s worth trying. Tokyo … Continue reading Japan Sweets
I went to Japan in May and stayed at the Andaz Tokyo for almost “free.” Nope they didn’t invite me, I paid with points. This is how I did it: I previously signed up for a free World of Hyatt membership and used my account to book Hyatt hotel stays via that account. I accumulated… Continue reading Andaz Tokyo
Sushi Dai in Tsukiji Fish Market serves up some of the best and freshest fish on top of amazing sushi rice. The Michelin Star rated joint seats about 12 people, and a meal takes up to 45 minutes. With hundreds of people waiting in line each day, a queue can take up to 5 hours.… Continue reading Sushi Dai
Paris– the city of love, lights, and damn good eats. A great thing about food in Paris is you can eat all your stomach can handle and not feel too guilty because of all the walking you’ll be doing (I averaged between 8-11 miles each day).

So instead of listing the things I did on this previous trip, this post… Continue reading How to Paris like a Champ

I slept about zero on the plane, so I needed a nap. Woke up after 1pm and walked to The Avocado Show,… Continue reading Amsterdam in Four Days
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I love NYC. I’m originally from Houston, but I lived in NYC for a few years, and I try to go back as often as possible. Each time I’m there, I hit my usual favorites and also try a few new spots. Saturday 10am. My husband and… Continue reading NYC, October 2017
I spent a few days in the gorgeous towns of Canmore and Banff last week with my family. The first day was inundated with low hanging clouds, light rain and snow. We took it easy with a hike on the Grassi Lakes Trail, and as soon as we reached the lake the snow started falling.… Continue reading Alberta, Canada
For the past couple of years, I’ve been telling myself “This is the last time I’ll go to SDCC.” But every year that I’m able to get my hands on a coveted badge, I consider myself lucky. Who needs sleep and sanity? Not me, I need Comic-Con. This was my 8th straight year going to… Continue reading San Diego Comic-Con International 2017
