This City Sunday – Brussels, Belgium

Whenever I eat out at Ihop (which isn’t often), I always order a belgian waffle. This isn’t true of any other breakfast place around town. Truth be told, however, I could order a belgian waffle anywhere in the U.S. or even the world, and it wouldn’t taste half as delicious as an authentic waffle from [...]

One Day Monday – Helicopter over the Grand Canyon

The first time I visited Arizona, the closest I came to visiting the Grand Canyon was a day trip to Sedona, which essentially is a small sliver of the expansive canyon. Taking a tour of the landscape via a pink jeep, I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the red rock countryside so much that [...]

This City Sunday – London, England

Six months before graduating, I got the relentless urge to take a trip abroad whether that meant scrounging for a last minute study abroad opportunity or taking a trip on my own. Granted that I really hadn’t put much thought or effort into the possibility of studying abroad through my school prior to my senior [...]

A good friend and I recently explored the idea of a Paris trip with a side of Switzerland, and despite the outrageous price tag, we considered going “glamour camping”, at the White Pod Resort in the Alps. For most of us, we typically think of a resort as someplace sunny where we can sit by [...]

During a particularly wintery weekend back in 2009, I had fairly spontaneously decided to take a road trip to Chicago. It was my last year of college, and I had been having withdrawals for the city. Spent a nice relaxing weekend downtown and included a day trip to Milwaukee. I had never been, but as [...]

One Day Monday – Go Zorbing

They see me rolling, they hating. Rolling down the hills in a giant zorb ball that is. As a wandering souldier, life isn’t meant to be lived in a bubble, but this is one bubble that’s okay to settle into for a couple hours. I have seen pictures of this, but I never knew what [...]

This City Sunday – Fairfax, Virginia

With Washington D.C. just across the border, I took the spontaneous opportunity of spending a weekend tucked away in a quiet town not on top of most people’s list of places to visit. Fairfax, Virginia, though mostly residential, is majestically beautiful in a way I would not have expected. On the way in, I came [...]

One Day Monday – Take a Tour of the White House

Every time I visit Washington D.C., I always stare at the White House as if it’s this untouchable landmark that of which I would so fancy to take a tour. The longer I gawk at the beautiful gardens, the more it makes me ponder what really happens inside one of the many homes of American [...]
