A Houstonian’s Guide to: Boston in 48 Hours
I know we usually do one-day posts, but…. GUYS, I couldn’t do it. I could NOT do Boston in 24 hours. I couldn’t narrow it down to JUST one day of activities. I had an absolute ball in Boston and I’m just going to go ahead and break the 24 hour trend. BECAUSE I’M AN … Continue reading
A Houstonian’s Guide to: Baton Rouge in 24 Hours
When it’s not football season, Baton Rouge is a sleepy college town, which is the complete opposite of my actual college town (aka Houston, so, yeah).

A Houstonian’s Guide To: Santa Barbara in 24 Hours
Santa Barbara, as all the Californians know, is home to Santa Claus during his off season, and Santa always deserves the best. SB IZ BOOTIFUL.

A Houstonian’s Guide: San Francisco in 24 Hours
I have a new favorite city, y’all. Well, aside from Houston. San Francisco is amazing (and the polar opposite of Houston). There’s tons of public transportation, elevation (what is that) and it’s COOOOOLLL. Like, midsummer… midday… in the sun… and sweater weather.

A Houstonian’s Guide: Charlotte in 24 Hours
I’m an Htown transplant from Charlotte, North Carolina, and I have now been living in Texas for just over a year after spending the better part of the last decade in NC.
