Patagonia Highlights
I’m a city girl at heart. I trek around the concrete jungle of New York in heels and boots for hours without thinking twice about it. Heck, I could even run with 4-inch heels on…
10 Colorful Shots of Lima
It surprises me that it took traveling to Lima three times before I finally saw the raw, colorful beauty of this city. The first time I traveled to Peru last year was quite a culture…
Street Art Spotted – The Lower East Side
It’s been awhile since I last posted some street art on my blog. Lo and behold, I’ve collected more than enough snapshots as I stayed put in New York, for the most part, this past…
Lake Coatepeque – Hello There, Paradise!
As an avid traveler, I often like to pride myself in knowing a lot about various countries, its major cities, cultural highlights, and its cuisine. Some, from casual reading. Other times, from people whom I…
Highlights of the Great Ocean Road
One of my most memorable experiences in Australia, aside from hanging out with family, ogling over an abundance of street art in Melbourne, and obtaining a deep tan at their beaches, was a long day…

Being in the Moment
I’m alive! As some of you may notice, there’s been quite an extended radio silence on my blog. No I didn’t fall off the cliff somewhere. No I didn’t get sick. Okay, one day I did. I can’t even pull an excuse out of nowhere…
Street Art Spotted: Bogotá, Colombia – Part 2
As I mentioned in Part I of my Street Art Spotted series in Bogotá, I did not expect the city to have such a tremendous street art scene I was almost floored. The walls screamed at you with such vibrant colors, bold political statements through…
Street Art Spotted: Bogotá, Colombia
If someone told me a year or even six months ago that Bogotá had a remarkable street art scene, I wouldn’t have believed it. Colombia’s capital city is known for many things, both positive and negative, but a burgeoning street art scene is definitely…
This Week’s Links & Things
“Links & Things” is a relatively new series on my blog. It’s pretty self-explanatory: I have severe Bright Shiny Object Syndrome so when I’m not being productive online, I can sometimes spend hours reading and clicking through from one site or blog to another to another to another……
Panamá City in a Heartbeat – A Photo Essay
A lot can be seen and done in 48 hours especially when you’re abroad. While I waited out to “clear myself” of this so-called, imaginary yellow fever from Colombia, I decide to explore Panama City for a bit. Regardless of the stifling heat and heavy…
Delayed Entry to Costa Rica
As I mentioned in this post, I wasn’t planning on stepping foot in Panamá until June, except maybe for a quick layover. Unfortunately, certain circumstances beyond my control forced me to visit this place a lot sooner than later. I was on my merry way…
Hola! from Bogotá, Colombia
I’ve always been a firm believer that “you get what expect“, and while this holds true with life values and such, it doesn’t always pan out so well travel-wise. I absolutely had no expectations of Bogotá except I knew it was going to be a…
Life, Work, and Happy Travels for 2013
[Heads up, this is probably one of my longest posts, ever!] When I rang in the new year four months ago with amazingly strong cocktails and great friends at The Campbell Apartment, there was one thing I promised myself as Eugene and I shared that…
The Crack is Wack Playground in Harlem
In a city like New York where public transportation is readily available 24/7, there are some things one stumbles upon only while driving or as a passenger in a yellow cab. It’s never fun sitting behind the wheel stuck in traffic when I can easily…
This Week’s Links & Things
I decided to start a new series called “Links & Things” on my blog. It’s pretty self-explanatory: I have severe Bright Shiny Object Syndrome so when I’m not being productive online, I can sometimes spend hours reading and clicking through from one site or blog…
