My Mom and I love to travel. Growing up, travel for us consisted of the 90s stereotype: road trips with 5 people stuffed into a sedan AKA my nightmare 🙂 .

For obvious reasons, 2020 is not shaping up to be the year I suspect any of us predicted. Instead of flying around the world in first class, I’m galavanting around the US and trying forms of transportation I never would have dreamed of, such as going down the east coast in an Amtrak Viewliner Roomette.

SINGAPOREWelcome to Disneyland! Jk – it’s Singapore. And it’s basically a grown up Disneyland. I had no expectations when visiting Singapore, but was quickly blown away. I also realized that this is the first vacation I’ve taken in a few years that was not based on luxury and beach relaxation. Instead I was being a real explorer again!
