Last month, during the Thanksgiving week, I traveled to Washington DC to visit my parents for the holiday. Luckily, my current project is remote so I was able to work from Washington DC without a problem (other than that 3 hour time difference!). The last time I visited, I wasn’t able to sight see too much with only a couple days to see my parents and help them get moved in. So this time around, I knew I wanted to go to visit a few museums and other buildings around the National Mall, especially since my boyfriend joined us during the week too. After a couple of days indoors and working, we […]
Vegetarian Eats at Smorgasburg LA plus Tips
A few weeks ago, I finally got around to going to Smorgasburg LA and I returned last weekend! Since I’ve been working from home, I’ve been trying to make weekends more exciting and Smorgasburg is perfect for that. Smorgasburg is a market with food vendors and shops. It started in Brooklyn, New York, but it’s grown to include a flea market and a beer hall in New York City, special events, and a new location in Upstate New York, LA, and – get this – Osaka, Japan! I visited both with friends and my boyfriend so it’s perfect for a […]
Summer Road Trip From Seattle to LA
Hello from Los Angeles! After a very hectic August, I finally made my way down to my new city. I wanted to check in since I’ve been gone a couple weeks before diving back into the Southeast Asia travel series posts. Those will be resuming along career related posts (like what to wear and do)!

[…]
Seattle: Top 6 Spots for Tourists
Last week, my family came to Seattle for graduation. This was my cousin’s first time in Seattle and we had a free day, so I took them on a little tour of Seattle. We made sure to hit all the big spots while making sure we were able to get a lot of pictures. Late in the morning, we started off slow by driving downtown and walking to the market and around the pier. After lunch, we found out we could get city passes for everything we wanted to do so we hopped on those tickets. Here’s everything we did and saw! […]
A Trip To NOLA + Recommendations
Get ready for a photo overload! Just a few weeks ago, a couple of friends and I went to New Orleans for the Collision Conference. Way back in October, I received an email for $7 tickets (as opposed to the $700 face value of the ticket) for me and 2 other friends as a part of Women in Tech so we jumped at the chance. At the time we bought them with the hopes of making it happen but weren’t too set on it because of school and other logistics. Early this year we bit the bullet and bought our […]
