Let's enjoy the beauty of the world, one step at a time.
Our yearly European jaunt commenced again this past winter. My sister and I spent 6 glorious days in our 2nd favorite city, London. We ate, shopped, walked, and repeated this cycle every single day that we were there. We spent the first 4 nights in Notting Hill and ended it at the Renaissance St. Pancras before jetting…
Cheesy goodness at the Borough Market Food is my life. I plan my trip around where to eat. I also spend an inordinate amount of time thinking of restaurants to try at home. I especially love going to farmer’s markets and food halls. I find them to have the most interesting vendors and offerings. Not…
Do you ever have those moments when you relive a trip and think, “God, I want to go there again?” This happens to me all the time. Case in point, I started thinking (obsessing, more like) about Italy recently and I feel that I am due for another Italian getaway. The last time I was…
I’m finally writing another post about my favorite city in the whole wide world, London. My parents and I took my two cousins to Europe last summer. They have never been to London. My mother and little cousin, Romy were the most excited for this part of our trip. Romy is such a huge Anglophile…
Whenever I plan an overseas trip, I always ask myself “Do I have time for Paris?”. The answer is simple. It’s always a resounding “yes”! I can never get tired of Paris. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve been there. I always find new things to do and see. The city is so vast…
I have always thought of an afternoon tea as this lavish, indulgent meal. As a lover of all things exquisite, I do my best to go for an afternoon tea at home or whenever I am in London. This past winter, my friend, sister, and I took our afternoon tea to a whole new level….
Finally! My family and I went on a much needed vacation this summer. A super short (but fulfilling) two and a half weeks in Europe definitely restored my sanity. My usual travel partner (aka my sister) opted out because of this thing called “work” so my parents and two adorable cousins battered up in her…
It’s been almost nine months since my last holiday in London. There are no words to describe how much I miss that magical place. To those who know me, they think of my as an enormous Anglophile. So naturally, I make it a point to spend at least three days in London every year. I…
I love walking. It gives me a chance to think, clear my head, and breathe in some air. I especially do this when I start feeling shitty about the mundanity my life sometimes find itself in. I am sure people do this often. However, I feel that I actually walk more when on vacation. I…
