Let's enjoy the beauty of the world, one step at a time.
I am finally sharing one of my most memorable trips from 2015. Here goes… After years of planning and thinking about going to Edinburgh, it finally happened. My sister, friend, and I decided to go to Edinburgh and rent an Airbnb apartment off Leith Street. It was so close to everything that we didn’t need to…
When I say “dream house”, it’s more of a compound. We stumbled upon Holly Village after our cemetery visit. I immediately fell in love with this private hamlet. It’s gothic architecture and uniqueness make this place not only beautiful but also intriguing. It has an air of mystery about it. It’s so dreamy that you’d think it’s…
I always enjoy the energy of traveling to a big city like London but sometimes it can be overwhelming. Last winter, we took a little respite from our “big city” adventures and headed to Hertfordshire. We stayed at the Hanbury Manor Marriott and Country Club for a few days. Aside from Bath in Somerset, we…
One of the highlights of our trip was the Kenwood House in Hampstead Heath. This former 17th century stately home is now a museum managed by the English Heritage. It is open to the public with free admission. I have always wanted to visit the Kenwood House so I made sure that we get to…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
