I’ve been wanting to go back to Switzerland since I first went in 2019 and we finally made it happen this year with the relaxed COVID restrictions! We got caught up in the recent travel delays and had several airport sprints but everything turned out in the end. As of September 2022, there were no …

3 Days in Victoria, BC
I hopped back to Seattle for the next two weeks and decided to loop in a trip to Victoria, since Canada and the US have lifted most of their travel restrictions! I’ll include some details in here about what the current travel policies are and the process of getting from Seattle to Victoria. As a …
Day Trip to Lexington, KY
I’ve been meaning to go to Lexington since it’s just an hour and a half drive from Cincinnati so today I did a little solo adventure! Lexington was the perfect day trip location and had a lot of beautiful old houses, iconic Kentucky rolling hills, horses, and fun places to grab treats. Here were some …
Cincinnati Spotlight: Hilton Netherland Plaza Hotel
This Sunday, my friends and I did a “DIY” architectural tour of Cincinnati! We each picked a building in the city to research and present on.

5 Days in Sedona, AZ
This June, I visited Sedona, Arizona for a girls’ weekend! Sedona was super fun and we had a great long weekend full of hiking, visiting vortexes, and wow-ing over the red rock mountains. I didn’t find that there was tons to do in Sedona beyond hiking, but if you’re looking for a spot for a …

A Long Music-Fest Weekend in Atlanta
Well, we’re back at it! After over 2 years of dormancy (not entirely due to the pandemic), I’m going to try to officially re-launch this blog, starting with a post on my most recent trip to Atlanta. I may go back and try to resurrect some memories for retrospective blog posts on other trips I’ve …
36 Hours in Budapest
Since I was already in Europe for work (and have unrealistic expectations for my physical durability), I popped over to Budapest this last weekend for a very quick trip! Though I only had a brief time in Budapest, I felt like I got a good chance to sample the city, though I would have loved …
1 Month, 9 Concerts, 6 Venues
I made some strategic errors in October and somehow over the course of one month ended up with 9 concerts on my calendar, which was a serious overestimation of my stamina. Still, I had an awesome time going to the concerts and felt by the end that I had a great feel of most Seattle …
10 Days in Japan
This November, I went to Japan with high school friend to visit a mutual friend living in Tokyo and, most importantly, to see the Japanese maple trees in fall! I’d been to Japan a few years ago in summer (strongly would NOT recommend – super hot and humid) and there was a lot of overlap …
