Just a quick one today. As we are more settled in our space after leaving NYC, I am sleeping full nights, and feeling much less stress in general, I am turning my attention back to my side projects! Like my blog, my book, (yes you read that right!) my poshmark etc. I always promised myself when this blog got a certain amount of engagement I … Continue reading Big Announcement!
Quarantine day??? Just kidding, it’s day 26 for us here in NYC. Things are progressively weirder everyday. The good news from NYC (even though I am trying to avoid the news lately) is it seems that even though the rate of death is increasing, the rate of hospitalization is decreasing. Which hopefully means social distancing is working. Obviously, even if it is working, I know … Continue reading Hey There All You Cool Cats and Kittens
The worst part by far is the hysteria and lack of preparedness by the United States. As mentioned in the hundreds of articles you’ve probably read by now, the testing in the US is just not where it should be. This, and people’s energy, is what is scaring me the most right now. I can’t walk outside without being barraged with people in masks, or … Continue reading NYC Coronavirus Update
Here’s something I never thought I would be writing about! I have a lovely post I’ve been working on for you guys about Nice, France, but it just feels inappropriate to suggest places to travel to right now. When I sat down to post it today, it just felt wrong and I decided instead to talk about travel at the moment. I find it really … Continue reading Thoughts on Coronavirus & Travel
So as I mentioned last week, I have no travel plans for the future. That has somehow become profoundly untrue in the course of two days. I think I mentioned we will be hitting the West Coast for a trip in June. This has turned into a weekend in Seattle at the moment, which is exciting because Dave has never been. We will be there … Continue reading Throwback Wednesday(?)- Highlighting Why Your Next Trip Should Be To Brighton, UK
The fun thing about dating someone from another country is that you end up seeing much more of the country than you would otherwise. For example, before I met Dave, I studied abroad in London and visited a few other cities in the UK. I had been to Edinburgh, Bath, Windsor, Oxford, and Birmingham. Now, I end up flying to the UK, and I don’t … Continue reading East Grinstead, a Place Much Nicer Than it Sounds
Although my intention was to have my blog be focused on the UK and all of the travel we do there, we do travel other places too. Last weekend, we took an impromptu trip to Beacon, NY. Only an hour and a half with no traffic from NYC, Beacon provided the perfect afternoon escape. It is located in Dutchess County, and has a very rich … Continue reading A Change of Scenery & Break from NYC
For our second day in Oxford, we tried to squish in as much as possible. The McDonald Randolph has a very highly rated spa, so we started our day with facials. Dave had never had one before, and I am very picky so it was a mixed experience. He enjoyed his, and said it was very relaxing, and I think he is keen to do … Continue reading Oxford Pt. 2
Our last trip to the UK was over Christmas, and any time we’re in the UK, I try to combine a visit with a little vacay, (or holiday as the brits say). As I recently decided I want to pursue my PhD in the UK in a few years, I decided we would be hitting up Oxford for a brief overnight stint. One of the … Continue reading Recent Trip to Oxford Part 1
London may be the happiest place on the planet for me but seeing Greece was unreal. I actually didn’t even plan on going to Greece the entire time I was studying abroad it hadn’t crossed my mind once. I actually was kind of saving it for my honeymoon (lol if that ever happens) but whatever I’m so glad I went. I went with my friend … Continue reading YASSOU
