foodie break: @FSSingapore
When you only have 48 hours in a city, it can be overwhelming. As soon as we arrived in Singapore, we were faced with many important questions. Mainly: where do we go, what do we do, and most importantly, what-oh-WHAT do we eat?? Because we successfully stuffed ourselves silly with dumplings in Chinatown on day one, by day two, we were ready to class things up a bit. Four Seasons Singapore to the rescue. To be honest, I wasn’t exactly sure of what to expect of Singapore in general. The hubs’s school has a campus in the city which makes…

tbex: afterthoughts
It took me two full weeks to recover enough to reflect properly on my weekend in Toronto at the TBEX Conference. After eight days of internalizing, the one clear thing I’ve decided on is this: I am way lazier than I even realized. When it comes to decision making, I’m known to choose the least responsible option, almost always. I think it’s in my blood, but more than likely (read: definitely), it’s a completely fixable personality flaw that I choose not to address. That being said, if there’s something important on the line, I can normally pull myself together and…

style spotter: greece
I have realized that, despite my extreme amounts of love for this continent, Europe is dangerous. I mean, not in the old fashioned raping and pillaging sort of way. It’s much less obvious. As soon as I set foot on European soil, be it Eastern or Western, my mind immediately shoots to all the places I could go. Everything is so close! So accessible! So many cities for me to conquer! Coastlines to explore! SO MUCH TO SEE! But the worst part? There are so many places in Europe where I’ve already left my heart, and way, WAY too places…

road warriors: driving new zealand’s north island
Pre-RTW, my head exploded about a hundred different times trying to figure out our New Zealand itinerary. With only two weeks on each island, it felt like we were going to be cramming in far more than would be possible in just 30 days. After lots of hemming and excessive hawing, we decided to throw in the towel and rent a car on New Zealand’s North Island. We did a lot of research, because renting a car can be pretty rough on your budget. Luckily, Go Rentals to the rescue. We were jonesing for a grand roadtrip adventure, and our two…

jetsetters: @ThisWayParadise
Happy Jestetter day! Say hello to Val of This Way to Paradise. It’s actually physically impossible to look at her site and not wish you were on a beach. We’re serious. Take a moment, click above, and try. Are you back? Did you succeed? Didn’t think so. Favorite Place: Gili Air off of the coast of Lombok! It’s the perfect island. Not too many tourists, but just enough to keep it interesting. Beautiful crystal clear waters, deserted beaches, chill out bar. A true Paradise. More importantly, favorite meal: At a street food cart in Thailand. This guys made noodles with pork and…
