Destination: Ushuaia, Argentina (Part 1)

Ushuaia (oo-SWAI-uh) is the southernmost point of Argentina, as well as in the world. It's no wonder that it's nicknamed "The End of the World."

Destination: Puerto Madryn, Argentina (Part 1)

Destination: Buenos Aires, Argentina (Part 2)

Back From Vacation (and happy December)!

Greetings! I'm back from my long trip! I've been home for about a week now, and in that time, I've been resting at home (to recover from COVID, which sadly I got during my vacation) and otherwise returning to work. Despite getting COVID, the symptoms weren't too bad, and I've since recovered. I had a …

Going on Vacation…

Source: Conde Nast Traveler Guys, it's happening. I am finally traveling internationally for the first time in over three years. In other words, I'll be stepping onto the plane for the first time since 2019 and taking a trip somewhere outside of the country. It's both exhilarating and scary, especially with the pandemic still around. …

Guava Cupcakes (RECIPE)

Greetings! Fresh, super ripe guava! It's been OVER A YEAR since my last recipe post. Not to say that I haven't been baking-- in fact, I've been baking like crazy-- but I just haven't made something distinctive that would merit a blog post on it. However, I had the fortune of stumbling across some *extremely …

A Weekend in Los Angeles– THE GETTY VILLA

It's also an elegantly-designed villa, with fountains, gardens, and everything in between for a lovely atmosphere. I hadn't been back to …
