Sharing adventures both near (Colorado), and far. From exploring Denver city life, to foreign travel, I love finding interesting places to visit.
A few years ago I was flipping through 5280 and I noticed a small picture of people climbing down ladders into a mysterious sand-colored ancient dwelling. From that moment onward, it was a dream of mine to go to Mesa Verde National Park in the southwest corner of Colorado in the Four Corners area. Because […]
A comprehensive guide for shoppers who want to understand how MUJI clothing sizing and price differ in Japan versus in the US. When I first started visiting Japan in 2013, I was really excited to shop at UNIQLO and MUJI – two very popular Japanese brands that I was familiar with because they had opened […]
Austin is a great cheap weekend getaway from Denver. It’s only a 2 hour and 15-minute flight from DIA and an ideal spot for travelers looking to make a warm(er) weather escape during the fall and winter (temperatures in Austin can be in the 80s, even in December). You’ll find beautiful outdoor public spaces, great […]
UPDATED: 12/1/2019 A lot of people visit New York City and are completely overwhelmed with finding a great place to eat.

Last year I ticked off another item from my bucket list: A visit to the Canadian Rockies. We visited Banff National Park in mid July, an extremely popular time of the year for the park because it’s typically the warmest month all year long (with highs in the 70Fs). Our home base during our visit […]
London! It’s one of the great world capitals for food, art, fashion, and culture. It’s also the only other place besides New York and Denver that I’ve ever lived (for a couple of months while studying abroad in college)! As you can imagine, I was excited when I found out I’d be returning to my […]

UPDATED 12/22/2019: New photos from Google Maps showing the structure no longer standing have been added. UPDATED 1/30/19: Some HUGE news! While the snarkiest corners of the art world have been obsessing over the temporary closure of Turrell’s work Meeting or about Kanye West’s $10 million donation to Roden Crater, almost no one has seemed […]
On my recent Pacific Northwest (PNW) road trip, my husband and I drove from Seattle, out to Cape Flattery in Neah Bay – the most northwesternmost section of the continental US – and through a slew of beautiful Washington state national parks and monuments (Olympic, Mt. Rainer, Mt. St. Helens). We eventually ended up heading into Oregon […]
Although many people end up spending a lot of their time in Miami sipping high-priced cocktails on South Beach, those who are willing to stray from the crowds of Miami Beach and go deeper into the more residential neighborhoods of El Portal and its emerging southern neighbor, Little River, you will find some of the most charming and […]
