Summer Travel Update
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my website! The spring and summer was a busy season of travel — a whirlwind couple of months with visits to Moab, Utah and Austin in April, Puerto Rico and Toronto in May, and Murphys, California; Oahu, Hawaii; and Bellingham, Washington in June! That was followed by a little [...]
Murphys: Hidden California Gem
A road trip to Murphys, California was launched the adventures in June. “Where?” you ask. Exactly. Off-the-beaten path at its finest. Located about 2.5 hours east of San Francisco at the foothills of the Sierras, Murphys is a tiny little town with a whole lotta awesomeness. From the gourmet food to the fantastic small-production wines [...]
Puerto Rico: from the beauty to the beast
My birthday month of May kicked off in Puerto Rico with a rollicking week of adventure with the highlight being zip lining the world’s highest and second longest – The Beast! Part of Puerto Rico’s Toro Verde adventure haven, the Beast is in a category all its own, going head first, stomach to the ground [...]
Adventures in Moab
April began with a few incredible days in Moab, Utah. This gorgeous Southern Utah gem is full of outdoorsy adventure, my favorite of which was canyoneering, rappelling down 120-foot cliffs of gorgeous red rocks. Whether jeeping or mountain biking, the breathtaking landscapes are as good as it gets! This was also my first visit to [...]

I was impressed with the diversity of outdoor activities, great restaurants, and beautiful desert landscapes. But what stood out most to me was the spa culture! From the luxury and [...]
Winter in Yosemite National Park
I was recently in Yosemite National Park. It had been years since I’d visited. In fact, I can pinpoint it exactly to a school trip in the fall of 7th grade. While the simple majesty of the park hadn’t changed from what I remember, seeing Yosemite in her winter glory took the experience up a [...]
The New Religion in Israel: Adventure
My December trip to Israel proved one thing: the Holy Land is no longer just a place to pray, but also a place to play! It was my first visit, and while I thoroughly enjoyed the wealth of history in Jerusalem and the trendy, hip, fun vibe of Tel Aviv, what captivated me most was [...]
Maui: A few days in paradise
We are fortunate in California to be a short four-and-a-half hour flight from one of the most beautiful places in the Pacific. The Hawaiian Islands are a popular destination for honeymoons, romantic vacations, and adventure seekers from around the world, but here in Los Angeles, it’s even more popular for a mini-vacation, to spend a [...]
