"And we take another step into the truly unknown, don't know why but it's somewhere that we have to go and it's dangerously wonderful" ~Into the Wild, Lewis Watson
Your flight arrives at JFK at 4pm giving you a whole evening in New York City, what do you do? If the obvious answer isn’t go to the Barclays Center and watch the Islanders play the Rangers, you may see yourself out now. For being a cross-river rivalry the general vibe of the game was much […]
At some point in my life I transitioned from being a saver to a spender, and while I do enjoy the rush of swiping my card, I don’t like looking at the account balance after. As someone who goes to school full time, I obviously am not swimming in a pool of cash, able to […]
How far would I go to hear Matthew Luhn, former animator and storyteller for Pixar, speak about the art of storytelling? Well, I’d wake up at 5am, sit through the San Jose to San Francisco morning commute, miss a day of classes and attend a conference that doesn’t relate to what I’m studying. And it […]
Trigger warning to all Californians and nature junkies: you are now entering a non-nature lover zone… more specifically, the zone of my dislike for Yosemite. Please leave your pitchforks at the door and read on before judging. As a Californians do, I have visited Yosemite three times, and had personal issues each trip. So, after a ten […]

One of the best parts about working in the Hospitality industry (actually, it’s the reason I chose this major!) is all the amazing places you get to visit. After a full day at the LA Convention Center with the Medical Tourism Convention, I hopped to the other side of LA Live and had the privilege […]
Subscription boxes are such an addiction. I mean, who doesn’t like surprising themselves with gifts in the mail that they forgot about?! It really is the latest craze, and I’m all for it. My latest favorite subscription box is actually one I wrote a Career Research Paper on and gave a presentation to my class […]
Alright, eager learners, let’s break down the term “Medical Tourism”. It’s actually not nearly as intimidating as it sounds: medical needs + traveling for them= medical tourism! Have you ever considered going to Mexico for less expensive dental work, or India for a heart surgery at a lower cost and shorter wait time? What about […]
I confess, I’ve been a little MIA recently, but with good reason! I haven’t disclosed the details of my “new life,” student life, to the blogosphere but I did a big girl thing and transferred to a University to study Hospitality Management!
