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 […]
Something really intriguing to me and my hospitality student mind is alternative lodging. Don’t get me wrong, hotels are super great — a clean shower, starched sheets and wiped-down TV remote — but when I plan a trip I prefer to seek out a place to stay that really reflects where I am. So without […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Sunday 6:15am PST: You’re woken by the ding of your phone, you check and see the text: “What are you doing Wednesday? Wanna fly out for the day and go to a concert so I’m not stuck with a ticket?” You stare at the message from your best friend for a solid ten seconds before being […]
The spring sunshine has officially graced the Bay Area and freed us from a long, wet winter so of course we celebrated accordingly– with a trip to the beach! Typically when you think of a city all the hustle and bustle comes to mind, but the beauty of being the City by the Bay is […]
Alright, honesty hour. Everyone has some sort of list of things to do in their lifetime: a bucket list. But it didn’t occur to me until recently that I’ve never actually shared mine with you guys! I’ve always had certain tasks filed away in the back of my mind and yet have never actually written them […]
Ya know how geese fly south for the winter? Well I kinda do the same thing when a semester is coming to a close… I call it “the flight of finals”. It seems I have a theme of running away on a weekend trip the week before finals rather than going into full Rapunzel mode and locking […]
