I still remember my first stepping foot in Austria. I had just finished up my semester working and studying abroad in London and my mom was meeting me in Europe for a few days of European travel. After two days in Munich, we decided to take a day trip to Salzburg. My mom is a major Sound of Music fan and [...]

My Five London Obsessions
I write about London a lot, partly because I briefly lived in the Rainy City but also because it is one of the most inspiring cities for finding global art and culture. On my recent trip to Europe, I managed to squeeze in a few days in London somewhere in between Berlin and Paris. It was a short trip but [...]
Bohemian Biking Through Wachau Valley
My bohemian trail through Austria’s Wachau Valley was a seemingly endless blur of colorful vineyards, warm summer sun and medieval towns built on romantic cobblestoned streets. Although I’m a city girl at heart, there is something truly serene about swapping bustling city streets for a few days in the countryside. After three culture-packed days in Vienna it was time to [...]
Mozart and I are Having a Moment
I still remember the first time I discovered Mozart. I was eight years old and performing at my very first piano recital. Our teacher, in an attempt to congratulate us on our hard work, gave every student a small statue of a world-renowned composer. Mine depicted a rather strange looking man with long hair and read “Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart”. My curiosity [...]
A Bohemian Weekend in Paris
Deciding to spend the first week of July in Paris, I officially revelled in my “vacation”. As a travel blogger, I am on-the-go much of the time and while I can hardly complain about this, there is always something on my mind. In fact, sometimes I find it hard to travel the way I did a few years back. Now, [...]
5 Islands Where I’d Gladly Get Lost
The last few months have flown by me and it’s now hard to believe that September is already here. After jaunting through Finland, Germany, England, France and most recently, Norway, I certainly have no cause for complaint. In honor of the passing season, I’ve decided to put a list together of 5 islands where I’d gladly get lost. 1) Feeling [...]
Bumming Around Bergen
I’m a city girl at heart so when I arrived in bohemian Bergen for my last two days in Norway I set off to explore this avant-garde city rich in both historical significance and cultural flair. In a nutshell, Bergen is most well-known for Bryggen, the old wharf consisting of a series of Hanseatic wooden buildings. Today, Bryggen is a [...]
There’s No Place Like Norway
There’s no place like home. Dorothy’s famous words in the Wizard of Oz have a bit to do with the title of this post. While Norway is not technically my home, it sure feels like it. It’s hard to believe that just a few months ago I was braving the beautiful snowy weather of Lillehammer, Norefjell and Oslo. As scenic [...]
Gardens, Goats and Great Views
California is almost synonymous with scenic viewpoints, perfect weather and lots of recreational activities. Here are a few photo highlights of my trip through San Mateo County/Silicon Valley. A walk through Filoli Mansion & Gardens An outdoor garden view of Thomas Fogarty Winery & Vineyard Making new friends at Harley Farms Time for a close-up of one of Harley Farms’s [...]
Highlights from Scenic Silicon Valley
It’s been awhile since I last traveled through the West Coast but after my recent California trip courtesy of the San Mateo County/Silicon Valley CVB, my memory is refreshed. Combining both adventure and cuisine, my days in San Mateo County were short but very sweet. From kayaking along Half Moon Bay to petting goats at a local goat cheese farm, here [...]
Day Tripping to Grenoble
One of the many perks about traveling in Europe is the accessibility of trains. After a few blissful days in Paris, my boyfriend and I decided to take a short and sweet detour to Grenoble. The southeastern French city is as picturesque as a postcard. Reminding me of South American landscape, seeing the mountains peeking over the city buildings was [...]
Bohemian Trails Goes Curly
It’s probably no surprise that I have curly hair. That’s old news but what is new news is my partnering with Ouidad as their official August Blogger. Their hair care product line specifically caters to other curly haired girls just like me and I’m also proud to mention that I’m their very first travel blogger to feature. So in honor [...]
