    How to Spend 36 Hours in Seattle

    I’ve recently realized that I’ve taken for granted that I live in such close proximity to so many amazing cities and towns. My latest trip to Seattle is a true testament to that. Despite the city only being a short train ride and a 3.5-hour drive away, it’s still taken me over 4 years of living in the Pacific Northwest to visit. With a friend’s wedding to attend this month, I was finally forced (or, let’s say, strongly encouraged) to make my way up there and explore this beautiful city. 

    Although our stay was short, my friend Kelsey and I still managed to pack in quite a bit during our 36-hour stay. We stayed at a hotel in downtown Seattle which made it very convenient to explore the city. Just the way I like it, our trip consisted of a good amount of sightseeing, coffee and good food. 

    I don’t want to bore you with too much of a prologue, so I’ll go right into the details. Here are some highlights from our short, but extremely fun trip!  Continue reading

    My Tulum Travel Diary

    Bike Riding in Tulum, Quintana Roo

    There’s no denying that turning 30 is a huge milestone. That is why I knew that I couldn’t go without doing something big to celebrate. With that in mind, a few months ago, my sister Ale and I started planning a trip to Tulum to celebrate me entering into a new decade.  Although my birthday is in January, we decided that December would be the best time to head down. It’s right before the high season and I could combine my work holidays to get more time off.

    Tulum is small compared to other tourist destinations like nearby Cancun, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a plentitude of things to do. Ale and I had more than enough ways to spend our time during the 5 days we were there, and that’s without leaving the city. So, if you’re planning a trip there yourself, I’ve summed up our daily adventures to offer you some inspiration.

    Apple Picking in Hood River

    Last weekend, a couple of friends and I went apple picking in Hood River, Oregon. It’s one of those activities I strongly associate with the fall season, so I was pretty excited to try it for the first time. We visited Kiyokawa Family Orchard, where you also have the option to shop for apples at their fruit stand if you don’t want to pick your own. You can even sample the different varieties of apples before heading out to the orchard.
