"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
Yup, another New York blog post. I clearly have no shame for my love of New York City, considering I’ve visited three times in the past year, but this third time I was able to take my boyfriend along and check a new city off of his bucket list! Of course we hit all the […]
I’m German. Well, at least ancestry.com says so. Like a century back my family immigrated to the US through Ellis Island and here I am today, a California girl who loves both beer and pretzels, so I’d say that calls for an appropriate Oktoberfest celebration, right?? *watch the comments for my Aunt Janie to come […]
It’s not Braude, it’s BrOde said Hermione Granger, I think. The Broad is the newest addition to Downtown LA’s museum offerings – just look for the building that resembles swiss cheese! It opened only three years ago and has a stunning collection of all forms of art. It’s even with a work of art – the curvy […]
As the Disney peeps know, Paradise Pier in California Adventure has officially made it’s debut as the newly transformed Pixar Pier! Amongst the theme changes, the beloved Cove Bar was also remodeled and rebranded after the Luxo Lamp and all things Pixar! I was fortunate enough to squeeze in a one-day Disney trip this summer […]
GUYS I don’t even have time to come up with a proper intro to this post because the event is for such a limited time! If you’re from the greater Los Angeles area (and a Disney fan, but who isn’t) you have to check out the That’s From Disneyland exhibit in Sherman Oaks. Until end of August, […]
One of those classic “totally American” things my home country features is bizarre roadside attractions. The world’s largest ball of yarn, Confusion Hill, a meteor crater in Arizona and Mount Rushmore. Some are more tailored to children, others for adults, but the Cabazon Dinosaurs are the perfect attraction for all! Any good Coachella or Stagecoach trip […]
I may not be sure how to pronounce Yucca Valley (Yuck-uh or Yoo-kah??), but I do know that making a visit next time you’re on Highway 62 is a given. Other questionable things about this place…everything. Teeeeechnically everything to see is spread out between the towns of Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms, but they’re […]
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 […]
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 […]
In the midst of transferring my life from my old (yet wise) laptop to a newer one, I’ve spent some time rummaging through sentimental photos of my past travels. In the past, a select handful of these of photos have made their debut here and on Instagram, and while it is easy to fall for the distorted […]
