Hello! This is part of my Asia Trip Spring 2018. This is a bit of a detailed hotel review so if you’d rather not read and just look at pictures, in short: Only 20 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes from downtown. Stunning design and landscape, wonderful management and friendly staff, delicious food curated…

Weekend in Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean
[Weekend Trip Series] This past weekend I jetted off to Bonaire. A Caribbean island off the north coast of Venezuela that was formerly a part of the Netherland Antilles, and is now a special municipality under the nation of the Netherlands. Bonaire is relatively unknown to most I feel, as most people did not even…
Baltic Weekend in Riga, Latvia and Vilnius, Lithuania
[Weekend Trip Series] Over the 3-day President’s Day Weekend I ventured off to 2/3 Baltic States. I spent just shy of 24 hours in Riga, Latvia, and shy of 18 hours in Vilnius Lithuania. I knew next to nothing about the Baltic states or any of its cities and cultures and was quite excited I…
24 Hours in Montevideo, Uruguay
[Weekend Trip Series] This past weekend I ventured off on a solo trip to Montevideo, Uruguay. Uruguay is the second smallest country in South America and is quite often overlooked or forgotten about since it is dwarfed by its neighbors Brazil and Argentina. I knew very little of this country before visiting. Uruguay and Montevideo…
Weekend in Mexico City, Mexico
[Weekend Trip Series] This past weekend a friend and I ventured to Mexico City, Mexico. It was my first time in the country of Mexico and I was quite excited. 10-15 years ago you would hear about how polluted and unsafe Mexico City was. I can say that that is certainly no longer true. Sure…

Christmas Weekend in Vienna, Austria & Bratislava, Slovakia
[Weekend Trip Series] Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! For my three day Christmas holiday I chose to venture to Vienna, Austria as well as a half-day side trip to Bratislava, Slovakia. There are few nonstop flights from Vienna to the United States, which is actually a nice thing in my humble opinion because there definitely…
Weekend in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
[Weekend Trip Series] This past weekend I ventured out to the tiny landlocked European country of Luxembourg. Nestled between Germany, Belgium, and France, Luxembourg is definitely a country that gets forgotten or is barely on the radar of an North American. But it is actually quite a crucial nation, it is a global financial powerhouse,…
