Here’s how you should spend it while running through the #6ix. Pro tip: Dress the part! Toronto is a totally walkable city so be sure to wear … Continue reading
No matter the season, San Diego is one of the most beautiful cities in America. Literally it could be like -4 degrees in the Midwest, and San Diego people are surfing in the 85-degree sunshine. So, it’s kind of like Houston, but more predictable. I first went to San Diego about 8 years ago, and … Continue reading
As Americans, we must do our American duty and make the pilgrimage to our Capitol, right? I had avoided it, until a couple weeks ago. I know no one in D.C. right now, and squandered the opportunity to visit when I did have friends there. So, when I got the opportunity to go for a … Continue reading

Our wildly successful trip to Austin a few weekends ago hit all the major high points that a twenty-something-year-old would care about (and may or may not have inspired It’s … Continue reading
Nope. Literally that’s what I thought when I decided to do the “NYC in 24 hours” thing. IMPOSSIBLE. I lived there for two months for a summer program at NYU, and there are STILL things I wish I did. I think I’ll give you options, for an either-or experience. Alas, here I go. I’ll ATTEMPT … Continue reading
You have 24 hours to travel outside the great state of Texas and you decide to spend it in….Seattle! Ambitious maybe?
