Old Quebec City
Just as I was promised by friends and online travel guides, being in Old Quebec City is like stepping back in time in Europe. I know that I am in Canada, but nothing except the prevalence of poutine on restaurant signs indicates so. I spent a wonderful couple of days in the heart of Old Quebec City by myself. About 30,000 steps and 50 floors up and down later, I captured how I saw the city through these shots.

I kept alluding to big life changes in my very scarce blog posts in the last two months, and I'm finally just gonna say it now - a breakup, yep that's what it was, nothing groundbreaking. (If you're a friend who's a secret reader of my blog and feel left out of the loop, let's catch up I miss you!) Soon after it happened I booked a trip to NorCal to spend some quality time with friends, and that's exactly what I got - 48 hours of roaming, eating, laughing, tea-drinking, talking. Friendship is wonderful. It has been a few…

Last week, I visited Windy City for the first time for five days to attend the Laver Cup, an exciting new tennis tournament (yes I love tennis but no I do not play). It was a unique, thrilling, and time consuming experience, but I managed to find time to hit up some other spots around the city. Millennium Park Staying right in the heart of downtown allowed me to reach the park in less than ten minutes by foot. As my red-eye flight was scheduled to arrive at 5 am, I had the brilliant idea of visiting Millennium Park…

After Taiwan, I experienced the urban marvel that is Singapore for the very first time. Fun fact: I have a beat up check-in red luggage that I've been using for 11 years now. I got it as a gift before traveling to Australia in the summer of 2007, during which I actually had a layover in Singapore Changi Airport! So 11 years and countless trips later, my beloved luggage made yet another trip to the great country of Singapore, except this time, it left the airport with me. Singapore is more of a city than a country (California is 579…

I have been curious about Taiwan for years and despite advice against going during the deadly summer heat, I made a trip to Taiwan for the first time! Jerry has family in Taiwan and has visited many times, but I didn't quite know what to expect other than the heat - seriously, that's the only thing everyone kept telling (or warning, rather) us about. And everyone was not joking - high temperatures combined with humidity caused fast exhaustion and made it hard to see as much as we wanted to. While I was happy with the number of activities we…
View PostFall Look in Cambridge, MA
A main reason I wanted to visit Boston was because I wanted to experience fall in New England, so naturally I wanted to have the perfect fall outfit for it. Leading up to the trip, I purchased a plaid wrap skirt, a basic white tee (from the men's section), and a charcoal trench coat from Theory to assemble the perfect fall look. I originally wanted to go for a plaid blazer or coat as they are everywhere at the moment. I love the trend but it does seem a little overdone at this point, so I thought wearing the pattern…
