"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
Mexico City has so much to offer to the on-slot of new tourists it’s been receiving as of recent, but one of the most notorious attractions that shouldn’t be overlooked is Museo Frida Kahlo in the neighborhood of Coyoacán. The Blue House served as Frida’s home from childhood till death, as well as her art studio, healing […]
I don’t think I’ve ever published anything about Pow!Wow! before, but I’ve definitely intended to. The annual street art festival grew out of Honolulu back in 2013 and has spread internationally– luckily to my backyard! Pow!Wow! San Jose started in 2017, the same year I moved there for college, and I have plenty of unpublished […]
One of the most common questions I’m asked is “how do you afford to travel all of the time?” First and foremost, you have to be open to all travel possibilities. Most recently for me that meant traveling to Europe in the winter. Aside from Christmas markets and snowy ski slopes, travelers typically don’t see […]
As I mentioned before I was not staying at Aulani when I visited the O’ahu resort. I had made breakfast reservations at one of their restaurant’s as a way to gain access to some Disney magic, but what I didn’t anticipate was just how much access we would have for someone who wasn’t an overnight guest!

Am I really Michelle if I didn’t visit Disney’s Hawaiian Resort?? Located on the southeastern side of O’ahu Aulani Resort & Spa is Disney’s only Hawaiian property and while we weren’t staying there (cause money) we were at the complex next door, so we paid them a nice, neighborly visit in the form of brunch […]
Last weekend I found myself sitting in a revolving rooftop bar, taking in the panoramic view of Washington DC and detailing our next day’s itinerary on a cocktail napkin. With 48 hours of exploration time before flying back to reality, I was on a mission to make the most of our limited time! (^gotta say […]
To wrap up things in the UAE, we took an *abra ride across the Dubai Creek into Deira where we meet up with Frying Pan Adventures for our Middle Eastern food pilgrimage! I’m not very familiar with many Middle Eastern dishes and what is travel worth if you don’t experience the local cuisine?! *Side note: I […]
As you saw in my previous post, Dubai has built itself into a modern, best of the best city, but I think a lot of people forget that despite only being 47 years old, the area is overflowing with history and culture. The short version is, due to this prime location on the Arabian peninsula […]
When booking my flight to South Africa I found it is basically impossible to avoid a layover in Dubai. Not a bad place to stretch my legs, but I had a better idea *enter Zaneta* you’ve all read about my friend Zaneta before. She graduated from Cambridge, we followed the Euro Cup through France together, […]
I’m not a huge believer in New Year’s Resolutions, starting fresh, karma or anything of that sort really. Maybe I’m a tad lazy but I prefer the “go with the flow” method of life, though that might just change after my intro to 2019. January 1st I hauled myself to SFO ready to spend my […]
