It’s been awhile since I did a photo essay so I decided to do a little round-up of some of my favorite photos of the past year. The theme is: Locals at Play and the ones I picked are of locals who game me a glimpse into their local culture. Rising Star in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic This little girl, [...]
As a bohemian traveler, it’s only natural that I’d obsess over local markets. There’s something so thrilling about going to a new city and learning about their culture through eating and shopping. I also can’t resist any opportunity to put my haggling skills to good use. Here are five of my favorite boho markets. For Vintage Heirlooms: Grünerløkka, Oslo I’ve written [...]
I’m going to be totally honest here. Before heading to Indy for Memorial Day Weekend, I didn’t have high hopes for the food and beverage scene. I hate to admit it but I think my years living in New York have made me a bit harder to please when it comes to food. However and per usual, I was completely [...]
Leave it to me to completely overlook the world’s largest single-day sporting event when planning a trip to Indy. After meeting Visit Indy crew a few months back in New York, I was eager to test out their newly created Cultural Trail. When I picked Memorial Day Weekend to visit, I was also able to experience the Indy 500 – [...]
May has flown by much faster than I expected. This time last year I was just leaving a thrilling month in Colombia and gearing up for a trip to Israel and Palestine. This time around, I’m still managing to find adventures right in my own backyard. Here’s what I’ve been up to lately. Kicking my Summer into Gear Clearly, someone [...]

Insurance is never a fun topic for anyone, as there are always costs involved yet it’s probably the most important thing to have before embarking on a trip. Up until turning 26 this past November, I had the option of piggy-backing on my parents insurance, which I did for two years. Luckily, they had a pretty comprehensive insurance plan so [...]

Every once in awhile I feel especially inspired to write about my home away from travel. That would be New York City, where I’ve been based for just over three years now. I’ve lived in a few different neighborhoods but some of my favorite NYC spots are rather underrated, even among locals. Here are 5 Underrated New York Neighborhoods Worth [...]

During my semester studying in London, I took full advantage of traveling throughout the country. It didn’t take me very long to discover that England was a world of its own in many ways. As a self-described literary nerd, I was completely dazzled by cities and towns like Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford. Not only were these villages visually stunning but [...]

This is a guest post by Andrew Tipp. Scandinavia. It’s expensive, right? So it’s probably best to skip cities like Copenhagen when you’re backpacking around Europe? Wrong. Well, not completely wrong. It is expensive – you won’t get much change from £7 when you buy a pint. But it’s totally worth visiting, either as a short trip in itself or [...]
As New York finally starts to feel like Spring, my mind is already thinking ahead to summer. Autumn is hands down my favorite season in New York but summer does have perks like free concerts and outdoor festivals to keep everyone entertained. Still, I’m always surprised when I hear non New Yorkers rave about how amazing it is here in [...]
I’ve been wanting to write this post for awhile now, especially considering how much fun I had writing Love and Travel Intertwined nearly two years ago. Music has always been a huge part of my life, as I’m sure it is in your own life as well. It’s been a constant part of my journey, whether it was playing the flute [...]
Tourists in New York are pretty easy to spot. They tend to do annoying things like stop in the middle of a sidewalk to take a picture or worse, they make it nearly impossible to skirt around them because they all walk next to each other. I certainly don’t mean to sound judgmental because after all, I’m a tourist whenever [...]
This is a guest post from Agness of eTramping. When strolling down the streets of Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, you can smell the fish sauce, seafood, rice, baguettes and fresh noodles. The smell is so intense you feel like eating all the time. Although the food is quick to make, it always contains fresh aromas, herbs and spices. [...]
