Sticking with the evident theme of “out-of-the-ordinary” attractions along Highway 101, have y’all met my friend Paul? Not sure how common of a story this is for children nowadays, but for me Paul Bunyan and Babe were up there with The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood. The gist of the tall tale […]

California’s Gold | Eureka! No Gold Here!
Huell Howser and I were on the same page when we both pinned the town of Eureka as a place to stop along Highway 101. Marked as stop number 15 on the California’s Gold road map, this throwback of a town is not only home to Lost Coast Brewery and the Samoa Cookhouse but is has its own mansion! […]

A Grand Ball and a Soccer Ball | My Summer 2016 Plans
I recently passed the three year anniversary since I made my initial pond-hop to England (and started this blog!) and it feels like a lifetime ago. Returning to the UK has been on my mind pretty much since the day I left it so I am thrilled to announce that I will be crossing the Atlantic […]
California’s Gold
As a child, sitting in the car for eight hours on a road trip up Highway 101 was a pretty normal thing. My family made this pilgrimage annually to visit my grandparents that live in the last town before the Oregon state line, so I got pretty familiar with all the different cities and rest […]
Whitealbum Challenge | NOLA
Imagine this: You’re standing on a second story balcony on Bourbon Street watching the crazy, likely drunken crowd roam around beneath you, and throwing beads at them if they “earn them”. There is a man walking down the street with a goofy smile playing the washboard that is strapped to his chest, and randomly joins […]
WhiteAlbum Challenge | Dapper Day, Spring 2015
I may be in need of an intervention. This addiction is getting serious, like taking over my life serious. I just can’t get enough… JUST KIDDING don’t freak people, I’m talking about cameras. If you were to look up “tourist” in the dictionary, yours truly would be the picture next to it, solely because of […]
World Watching Hits Its Second Anniversary!
I recently hit my two year anniversary of World Watching, so first off, cheers! *clinks champagne flutes* And second, where has the time gone?! It feels like ages ago that I took off for London, the trip that triggered this snowballing feeling of wanderlust and has taken over my life. That shy girl who was […]
2014 Giants World Series Champions Parade
October means more than Halloween in the Bay Area; it is Orange October. With World Series Championships in 2010 and 2012, the San Francisco Giants made it an “Even 3” when they won against the Kansas City Royals on October 28th. As tradition goes, a parade was held in celebration, and it just so happened […]
Get Your Kicks On Route 66! | Disposable Camera Challenge Pt. 3
Road trip #2, check! The first one was to get to school and this trip was to get away from it (for Fall Break, relax mothers, no new dropouts) I flew to Los Angeles to join some great friends on a road trip to the Grand Canyon back in October, and what would a lengthy […]
