I don’t know why, but I still like to think I understand cities before I visit them…and that’s dumb 🙂 . I’ve been proven wrong again and again and yet…here I am thinking the same thing. Hubris. I had never visited the California capital of Sacramento before, and I expected it to be like the suburbs of San Fran, where I’d visited during my childhood, but I couldn’t have been more wrong.

A lot of things have surprised me since I landed in Sacramento at the beginning of April. One of which was that not many people talk about this amazing city. Another one was that it has 50 breweries. For a city that only has 500,000 people and that I can walk across in an hour, I find that very impressive 🙂 . Continue reading “The Best Breweries I Visited In Sacramento, CA”
Why would we pay $200 for a 2 hour flight when we could pay $602 for a 20 hour train ride? You know 😉 ? That is the discussion my partner and I had when deciding how we wanted to travel from California to Washington.

Somehow it’s been 2 years since my partner and I sold everything I owned and started living in Airbnbs. In that time we’ve lived in Airbnbs in these locations: Continue reading “Lessons Learned After 2 Years Of Airbnb Nomad Life”
A few people have asked me about my partner’s remote work setup, which led me down a rabbit hole to realize that a post about that wouldn’t be very interesting 🙂 .

So let’s take a sneak a peek into our travel bags!

Shockingly, that title is not a click bait-and-switch, but it is inflated by fancy international flights 🙂 . These palaces in the sky are one of the parts of travel that my Mom loves most and I’m so happy that after shelling out $7,000 for a 1/3 off Emirates First Class ticket in 2012, I discovered the wonder of travel hacking, which has allowed us to fly in these wild cabins for almost free.

The adventure continues! After a lovely 5 weeks in Buenos Aires, Argentina it was time to head back to the States and see family for the holidays. My flight to Argentina went way better than expected, and I was curious if I would experience the same amazing service on the return flight. I was also curious which seat configuration I would receive and how that would factor into the experience. So let’s see what happened!

When I prepare to land in a new country (or even state), I always look up my transit options and have a plan before my plane takes off. In Buenos Aires, my plan had some complications 🙂 . The best way to get a good exchange rate on your money in Argentina is to bring USD and exchange it downtown. Continue reading “Review: Cabify – The Latin American Ride Share App”
