You know how sometimes you put something on your wishlist without thinking much about when and how you're gonna do it but someday you want to? Machu Picchu was that for me. I had seen pictures of this mystical misty mountain with the promise of discovering the ways of a long lost civilization - this's [...]
Many years ago, I asked a well travelled colleague of mine which was the most beautiful beach she's ever been to. And without missing a beat, she said "Grace Bay, TCI". That's how I was introduced to this place. Even though the Caribbean is known for its turquoise waters and white sand beaches, in this [...]
Maui had always been the first choice amongst the Hawaiian islands for resort lovers and honeymooners alike, for generations. When I booked the flight tickets (for a steal) to Maui, little did I know that ONLY the flight tickets would be affordable on this island 😀 Every turn you take on the windy roads lined [...]
Havasupai is a not-so-well kept secret when it comes to the hiking community. The reservation system is notorious, so in the end, getting reservations to do the hike is more commendable than actually doing it! On a February morning in 2019, a group of us sat down at 6 AM to conquer the reservation system. [...]
On a crisp September morning in 2019, when the leaves were just about to turn into their glorious shades of yellow here in California, I was looking for flight tickets to places to spend the Thanksgiving break. As expected, the prices were twice/thrice of what they would normally be. I came across the Philippines and [...]
Up until now, I had no trouble capturing a place on camera, barring certain natural phenomenon like the northern lights, double rainbows and the stunning glacial waters, which lost a little bit of their magic when you try and freeze them in a moment in time. All these assumptions of mine were thrown out of [...]
When I was torn between which Hawaiian island to visit first, the national park geek in me was slightly biased towards the Big Island because of the Volcanoes National Park. A little internet search led me to pictures of all the gorgeous and unique colored sand beaches on the island (think black, green(?) and white!) [...]
When I decided to write about my trip to the South of France (also called Cote d'Azur, a nice tongue twister to practice for those of us who aren't fluent in French), I was thinking it would just be one nice long blogpost with a lot of pictures. When I actually started selecting the pictures, [...]
When I decided to visit Paris last September and asked people how many days I should spend there, I just got one answer - "even a month isn't enough to see it all". I was surprised to hear this invariable answer, but decided to find out for myself by setting out for a week to [...]
The carribean, in my head, meant miles and miles of palm lined coastline, with humans sporadically leaving their footprints on the whitest of sands. When I landed in Punta Cana, I realized that not only was my imagination precise, but it also included beach beds where you can lie down and sip on bottomless pina [...]
The first time I visited Colorado, it was back in 2015 when I just started traveling. In fact, Rocky Mountain National Park was one of the first National Parks that I had ever visited! I fell so hard and fast in love with it that I swore to return again to explore every nook and [...]
For the longest time, the idea of a prefect vacation was the one with no cellular network. I was under the impression that unless a place is THAT remote, it wouldn't be as relaxing and as rejuvenating. And then I visited Calistoga, which busted that myth for me. Situated in the ever-so-gorgeous Napa valley, Calistoga [...]
Hello lovely people! Here I am, back after the longest time, to write another travel post from one of my recent trips. Last December, on my way to India, I planned a 2 day layover at Hong Kong. As you might've guessed from my travel trend, I'm not really a city person. However, Hong Kong [...]
A lot of us have the habit of setting New Year goals, and one of the hot ones right now is "Decluttering" and "Living with Less". Well there's a NetFlix show dedicated to it (Tidying up by Marie Kondo), so it must definitely be trending right? 🙂 Jokes aside, I've been wanting to write about [...]
We are on the last day of another year which seems to have passed too soon (Don't we feel this way about every year? 🙂 ) and I realized it has also been 2 years since I created this small little place of mine on the internet. However inconsistent I may have been in posting [...]
Hello peeps! It's been a looong time since I sat like this on a Sunday afternoon in a cozy corner of my couch to pen down my thoughts. When I think about the last couple of months, all I remember is spending almost every single weekend outdoors - doing hikes or meeting people or traveling [...]
As I made a list of all the travel posts that are due, Olympic National park topped my list for obvious reasons. This national park wasn't like anything I've visited before. It had all kinds of landscapes - from snow capped mountains to rain forests to black sand beaches to pristine lakes - I would [...]
It has been a hot minute since I wrote a blogpost and this one has been on the back of my mind for a long time now. Since last Fall, I've been exploring different ethical and sustainable brands every time I needed to fill some gap/replace worn out clothing in my closet. I have gotten [...]
After a (not-so-short) summer hiatus, it feels so good to be back to blogging! The last two months have been a crazy whrilwind with lots of travel and making memories with family and I can safely say that this was one of the best Summers so far 🙂 I have a bunch of travel posts [...]
Hello again, peeps! My second attempt to write the blogpost while on a flight has finally succeeded. I’ve been traveling like crazy and kinda trying the “live in the moment” thingy where you don't share every nitty gritty details of what you’re doing every other minute on social media. And I must admit, it has [...]
