Winter in London

For those who know me, I have a not-so subtle obsession with all thing English. If only England’s immigration process is not so complex, I would move there in a heartbeat. It’s no coincidence that my favorite city in the whole world (well, second to San Francisco) is London. It’s a great excuse to visit…

Borough Market

 Cheesy goodness at the Borough Market Food is my life. I plan my trip around where to eat. I also spend an inordinate amount of time thinking of restaurants to try at home. I especially love going to farmer’s markets and food halls. I find them to have the most interesting vendors and offerings. Not…

Dreaming of San Gimignano

Do you ever have those moments when you relive a trip and think, “God, I want to go there again?” This happens to me all the time. Case in point, I started thinking (obsessing, more like) about Italy recently and I feel that I am due for another Italian getaway.  The last time I was…

Summer in London

I’m finally writing another post about my favorite city in the whole wide world, London. My parents and I took my two cousins to Europe last summer. They have never been to London. My mother and little cousin, Romy were the most excited for this part of our trip. Romy is such a huge Anglophile…

Strolling around Stockholm

My family and I had an opportunity to visit Stockholm last summer (I know, such a late post, but still a worthy mention in this blog). None of us had ever been anywhere in Scandinavia so it was exciting for all of us to see Stockholm. When we arrived at Arlanda, we were shocked at…

Paris is always a good idea.

Whenever I plan an overseas trip, I always ask myself “Do I have time for Paris?”. The answer is simple. It’s always a resounding “yes”! I can never get tired of Paris. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve been there. I always find new things to do and see. The city is so vast…

Sketch-y Afternoon Tea

I have always thought of an afternoon tea as this lavish, indulgent meal. As a lover of all things exquisite, I do my best to go for an afternoon tea at home or whenever I am in London. This past winter, my friend, sister, and I took our afternoon tea to a whole new level….

Where have I Berlin all this time?

Finally! My family and I went on a much needed vacation this summer. A super short (but fulfilling) two and a half weeks in Europe definitely restored my sanity. My usual travel partner (aka my sister) opted out because of this thing called “work” so my parents and two adorable cousins battered up in her…

London on my mind

It’s been almost nine months since my last holiday in London. There are no words to describe how much I miss that magical place. To those who know me, they think of my as an enormous Anglophile. So naturally, I make it a point to spend at least three days in London every year. I…

Jane Austen Land

Jane Austen as sketched by her sister Cassandra “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” This famous line opens the book “Pride and Prejudice”. After reading this line, I already knew that I was destined to become a lifelong…
