Holiday: Thailand
A month being back home and I’m already on the road again. My dad and I ran off to Thailand to explore the Land of Smiles. He went with his dad when he was a couple years older than I am, so, in a way, …

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: Antwerp, Belgium
It was Nick’s last weekend visiting me in Europe so we decided to head down to Antwerp in Belgium. After a long, traffic- filled drive from Friesland to just east of the city, we were all settled into our AirBnB and ready to find some …
Weekend Getaway: Oktoberfest in Munich!
My dad came to visit! He had been planning this trip since February and it was finally here! I met up with him in Amsterdam on Friday evening, we jumped on a flight to Munich and were settled into our hotel by 23.00! Which meant …

Weekend Getaway: Algarve, Portugal
No offense to the Netherlands but the pretty common clouds and rain are getting to me. I left San Diego knowing that I would miss the weather and the beach but I didn’t understand how much of an impact it would have on my well- …
Weekend Getaway: Gdansk, Poland
It really amazes me how you can be in one place and then after an hour flight you’re in a completely different culture. In only an hour! So I went to Gdansk, Poland for the weekend. It was my first real solo trip, where I …
