The second part of my Central American adventure landed S and I in Panama. After paying an unpleasantly surprising $35 fee to leave Costa Rica, we boarded a plane from San Jose to Panama City. Upon arrival, we were informed we could not take public transportation to our hostel. We needed tickets to take the … Continue reading »

Welcome To The Jungle
I just returned from an epic adventure to Central America, with my first stop being Costa Rica. We stayed approximately one week here, and tried to fill every moment with something exciting. I went with a good friend/coworker and one of her friends. We all took separate flights, and if you travel even semi-regularly, you … Continue reading »
Alohawaii
So I finally got to cross “Going to Hawaii” off my Bucket List. My boyfriend and I had been talking about traveling to Hawaii for a few years now, but never actually making any concrete plans. Until one day, I was having a particularly shitty day at work, and an even more stressful week. On … Continue reading »
Free Spirited Breed
“You can do anything you want.” A push towards happiness; a struggle for passion; an all or nothing endeavor; a disconnect from reality? This sort of mentality—living in the moment and doing what one feels is right for them as opposed to socially accepted norms—seems to have spurred a collective distrust—or disgust rather—in the individuals … Continue reading »

Each piece is new addition to my wardrobe, a fresh article in my closet, but at the same time it brings with it a history, a story of its own, a previous owner and era. … Continue reading »
Lost in Translation: Angelenas in SF
We (D and K) recently took a trip to San Francisco and wanted to share our experience as Angelenos in NorCal. Needless to say, we brought the sunshine with us to an otherwise perennially foggy city, as it was a beautiful weekend. It had been about 2 years since we made a trip up north, and … Continue reading »
Gypsy Nation: Happiness vs. Success
Many people believe they’re happy just doing what they’re doing and don’t realize they are in fact not happy at all, or not nearly as happy as they could be, until they see or experience something entirely different. We get sucked into our day-to-day lives and don’t see past that. It’s completely normal, so normal … Continue reading »
I Only Do Karaoke in Tokyo.
But really, I hate karaoke and the only place that I think this abomination of entertainment is acceptable is in Japan, its birthplace. The only reason I say this is because Japanese people are bad ass. Ever since backpacking through Asia 2 years ago, I have had a slight obsession with Asian people, more specifically … Continue reading »
