"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
It’s pretty well known that San Diego is an extremely dog friendly city, so to celebrate the end of my college career and the start of summer we decided it was time to take our English Bull Terrier, Kona, on her first vacation! Aside from a quick day trip to Yosemite this was Kona’s longest road trip […]
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’m very much a “go, go, go!” type of traveler — trying to eat, see and experience all the things a new place has to offer, but every once in a while a vacation will appear in the middle of my travel schedule. Aren’t travel and vacation just synonyms for each other, though? They can be, but not according […]
Back in December I said screw it to studying for my finals and took off for the East Coast..it’s not every day your best friend has a house to herself on an island off of Massachusetts! For those who are not familiar with Martha’s Vineyard, the island sits of the coast of Massachusetts/Rhode Island with […]
I recently finished off a disposable camera that I’ve been carrying around since January 2015 (good work, memory) and took it to be developed. I’ve talked about film with you all before but just to summarize; back in high school I learned how to shoot black and white film with a manual camera, and with living […]
The last stop on my “Tour de France” was the historical city of Marseille (Californians- think Santa Cruz) and as a history geek I am going to force-feed you a bit of background history that I feel is worth noting! This southern French city dates back to the late 15th century when Marseille served as France’s […]
In typical Michelle fashion a lengthy amount of time has passed since an event so now I feel inclined to write about it (I put the “pro” in procrastination). For the duration of your reading pleasure please disregard the fact that (spoiler alert!) Portugal won the Euro Cup and that the tournament is over because we’re […]
Just over two years ago a highly anticipated expansion exclusive to the Paris park was opened in Walt Disney Studios, a space dedicated to Paris’ own “Little Chef” from the Pixar film Ratatouille! The pavilion is charming with its popping champagne bottle fountain and French street artists that will sketch your silhouette, along with an amazing […]
What’s a girl to do when she has to choose between spending time in Paris and in Disneyland? Split her time evenly, of course! Or at least that’s what this girl does! Making a one-day trip to Disneyland Paris is very do-able but I suggest you have some sort of plan for what you want to […]
PSA: this is one of three Disneyland Paris posts so if you’re a Disnerd then I invite you to relax and pull up a chair but if Disney is not your thing…how on Earth did you end up here?? There are multiple reasons this park stands out among the others but the main draw for me is […]
