Weekend Getaway: Zion National Park

Weekend Getaway: Zion National Park

This was such a bittersweet holiday for us: one of my best friends, Christina, was leaving California to head back home to New York, and this was our way of celebrating. We loaded into, our friend, Kevin’s car around 23.30 and hit the road! We 

Weekend Getaway: London

Weekend Getaway: London

I have finally gone to London. And I loved it. No wonder so many people, from all around the world move here: it’s cozy yet international, brisk yet it leaves you with a warm feeling (maybe it’s the mulled wine). A number of people recommend

Weekend Getaway: Den Haag

Weekend Getaway: Den Haag

Den Haag (The Hague but in Dutch) is where my dream job is located: the International Criminal Court. So, it was about time that I finally visited this city. A friend of mine from Italy and I met in the central train station in town and
