Why I Liked (But Didn’t Love) Los Cabos

Have you ever been to a place that everyone rants and raves about, but you just didn’t feel the magic? That was Los Cabos for me. I enjoyed my time there, but I didn’t fall in love with it the way I did with many of my other recent destinations...

Whale Watching and Wine Tasting on California’s Central Coast

For my latest excursion, I returned to the Bay Area to visit a friend from college, Stephanie, who was a totally amazing tour guide of San Jose and the nearby California coast!

Two Action-Packed Days In The City By The Bay

This is an exciting post for the blog since it’s my very first one covering a West Coast city! The last time I was in the Bay Area was in 2012 (before I was 21, I might add), so when I found $300 last-minute tickets from Mexico City to San Francisco, I couldn’t resist...
