Spectacular New York Bites
Must try NYC Dining Experiences
New York has to be my most visited place in all my travels. But I feel I have yet to genuinely explore the city. Most of my visits were centered around seeing friends or just as a means of transit to another destination. On my last two visits however, that changed. Finally, I was able to take a bite out of the New York pie. Both visits were a stark contrast, only because of the seasons, winter versus summer. Of course I got to experience more during the summer, but winter in NYC is always an experience I think we should all have.

Best Four day Phuket Itinerary
The year of 2023 has been the year I have regained my love for travel. It’s never left me entirely but if I am being honest living through the epidemic while in China really affected me in different ways mentally. I became a lot more anxious when traveling because of the many unknowns that came with living in China with the ever changing restrictions. Nonetheless, with each day my confidence to travel is being restored. I am innately an anxious babe but with each flight I feel brand new.

Where to eat in Hawaii
Everything I ate in Hawaii
Arriving in Hawaii felt surreal. Happiness was just exuding from me. I was so happy to not just be there but to see my friends after what felt like forever. Friends that share the same passions as you do are gems that should be cherished and I personally love all my friends dearly, just as much as I love food. For this trip I wasn’t seeking out locally made food as a priority. I wanted food you could eat any where that had local influences or locally sourced ingredients.

Chongqing China, City In The Clouds
Conquering fears in one of China’s mega cities
It never ceases to amaze me how different each city in China is. Landing in Chongqing felt like some place I have never been. Lush green mountains greet you as you begin your journey up the sprawling hills. It is a mega city different from all the rest. Located away from the coast line but lined by the meandering Yangtze River. I explored the city center for two days. Let’s do a day by day run down of what I got up to.

48 hours in Hangzhou China
Exploring the magnificent West Lake
Two cities in five days can seem like a seamless process during regular travel periods in China. However, during a holiday it means chaos, crowds and congestion. Nonetheless, we are always up for a challenge, and my travel partner and I were determined to finally tick Hangzhou off our list of cities to visit in China.

Shanghai Three Day Itinerary
Traditional and non-traditional sights and experiences
Shanghai is a global financial hub, located on the central coast of China and is the country’s biggest city. The city has so much to offer and is gradually getting back to what it was before the major Covid lockdown that took place there. I recently visited the city during the five day Labor Day holiday in China and it was packed.

Best franchises in Shanghai
What I ate in Shanghai, American franchise edition
Traveling to Shanghai was on my list of things to do when I first arrived in China. It’s one of the most popular cities in the world and the commercial hub of China. This was my second time here, but my first time exploring the city.
