Hamburg is the latest German city that I checked off my Wasn’t-Planning-On-Traveling-Here-But-This-City-Is-Actually-Super-Cool list. I was fighting jetlag for most of my trip, but when I did rally and get up I had a fantastic time—even in the blustery spring weather! First thing I did was do a self-walking tour of the city. I went to … Continue reading
In case you didn’t know, Houston is FULL of creatives and inspiration people. Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to bring some of those people together for a photography workshop with the Houston Blogger Union.

Spring has sprung in Houston, which means hot temps and cold drinks… right? Right. I got two new bars and three new-to-me bars — which is exciting! Eloise Nichols Grill and Liquors, 2400 Mid Lane Hi, I have a crush on Eloise Nichols. This new bar and restaurant is so insanely instagramable. From the brick … Continue reading
Singapore is my kind of place to go on holiday. The weather is always the same–hot, humid (just like my beloved hometown of Houston). It’s a cosmopolitan city of many cultures–Indian, Chinese, Arabic, Western–that live harmoniously side by side.

They call Vienna the Imperial City. The desserts are decadent. The buildings are elaborate with carved marble columns, life size statues and decorative gold inlays. Grand palaces, the royal opera, and imposing Gothic churches decorate the city’s skyline and remind passersby of an impressively regal era gone by. Despite the fall of the monarchy in … Continue reading
It’s not winter but you can still skate at Discovery Green. For March, Downtown Houston has a roller rink! It’s, uh, fun, but not for everyone, I have learned. While I didn’t fall once (tiny victory), I won’t be winning any awards. The Rink is super cool and fun for a pre-dinner activity or a … Continue reading
There’s no such thing as too much rodeo. Each time I get to go, I’ve had a completely different experience. (Well, most have included wine and all have included the concert!) You can spend hours shopping or riding rides at the carnival. You could eat Tex-Mex, pizza, BBQ, fair fare — you name it! You … Continue reading
There’s more to St. Patrick’s Day than just drinking green beer. OK, so like, that IS a v fun way to celebrate the day, but the holiday originated as a feast day for the patron saint of Ireland, so the least you can do is also eat green things. St. Patty’s Day is Tuesday, March … Continue reading
