My boyfriend and I finally went through all of our photos from our China trip (we took about 1,000!) and picked out the best ones. We spent a week in Beijing, and stayed in a studio apartment that we found on AirBnB in the southern area of the city. Our trip was awesome. China’s history …
As a lot of you know, I was traveling in Asia for half of May. Here are a few of my favorite snaps from last month’s Instagram adventures (and a couple treats from Vine). Captions read clockwise. Follow me on instagram & see the rest of my pics from Beijing & Hong Kong! Painted ladies. …
After getting back from a business trip in Vegas, I went on a quick trip to Monterey with my boyfriend and his family. I was excited to go hiking and take a ton of pictures at Point Lobos, but because of the Big Sur Marathon we couldn’t get on Highway 1 going south and never …
My boyfriend planned out a special day for my birthday that involved a gourmet picnic and a bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge, to the Marin Headlands and out to the Point Bonita Lighthouse. They were electric bikes, so they came with a bit of an oomph, but up some of those gargantuan hills …
Last month I took a trip down to Santa Barbara with some of my friends from grad school. One of them is getting his PhD at UCSB, so we used it as an excuse to reunite in paradise. I’d never been, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Some day when I retire filthy rich, it’ll be …
October was SUCH a fun month! My birthday was the 21st, and every weekend of October ended up being some kind of celebration. I felt so spoiled by my friends and family! At the beginning of the month I went on a trip to Santa Barbara with my grad school friends. I’d never been, and …
Last month my boyfriend and I went on a mini-vaca with my family in Gualala. It’s a sleepy little beach town just north of Sea Ranch, which is about a three hour drive north of San Francisco. The house my parents rented was absolutely gorgeous. All of these shots of the ocean were taken from …
Last month I went on a biz trip to DC. I hopped on a red-eye flight on a Sunday night, explored on Monday, and had a day full of meetings Tuesday. It was a whirlwind trip, and it took me a couple days to recover, but it was well worth it. I’d never been to …
September was packed with travel, so it was a fun-filled month, but it completely flew by. Pretty hard to believe it’s October already! (Captions read clockwise, starting from upper left) 1. Quick trip to LA means I get to see one of my best friends from high school and her super cute apartment. Love this …
The Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park is such a gorgeous and tranquil place to relax (despite the throngs of tourists on weekends). I can almost always find a quiet bench to sit and read. My boyfriend likes to park his behind next to me and sketch. If you go M, W, F before 10am …

My boyfriend and I recently got back from a week long vacation in the Caribbean. It was gorgeous. We stayed on the Dutch side of St. Maarten and lounged by the crystal clear turquoise water, went on some hikes, explored and shopped. We also snorkeled and saw sea turtles, barracuda (almost peed my pants), string …
