Al Pastor Appreciation Post
I’m no Jonathan Gold, but I do believe I could write an essential food commentary based solely on my unwavering and all-consuming love for tacos al pastor. My desire lies somewhere within the amalgamation of greasy, spicy, citrusy runoff and the salsa verde I routinely dump on top. (A sauce whore, I am. No meal … Continue reading Al Pastor Appreciation Post
Herons
I’ve made a decision: herons are my favorite bird. While this may not seem like a revelation, it feels good to be decisive – something I’m usually not. I didn’t know I needed a favorite bird, but right now it feels hyper important. Making this decision will give me the confidence to make another decision, … Continue reading Herons
Learning to Dive
I’ll never forget the bouts of laughter coming from our instructor, Ross, when I finally surfaced mid-way through my first open-water dive. Daniel and I were in Nah Trang in Vietnam learning to scuba dive a few days after a Typhoon hit and the waters were, needless to say, a little stried up. Earlier in … Continue reading Learning to Dive

Poa Poa: On Safari in Tanzania
Through the roof of our pop-top Jeep, three adults giggled like children.

Have you ever seen a giraffe scratch an itch? … Continue reading Poa Poa: On Safari in Tanzania
Tofo, I Love You
It’s easy to get lost in Mozambique. We came to know the small beachside town of Tofo well. Sandy roads lead to warm seas, favorite eateries lead to cold beers; we quickly developed a sense of the place as I imagine many who wander into its charm do. Not before long we came to know … Continue reading Tofo, I Love You
A Quick Stop Through Cape Town
To celebrate the new year, we took a quick trip through Cape Town – our first stop in Africa. We spent a few days exploring the city and spent a beautiful day wine tasting in South Africa’s Franschoek wine region. On New Year’s Eve, we rang in 2019 at a big celebration dancing the night … Continue reading A Quick Stop Through Cape Town
Christmas in Sri Lanka
After we honeymooned it up in the Philippines, we hopped on a few planes and arrived in Sri Lanka. Daniel was there a few years ago filming a documentary and had plenty of reasons to go back and show me around. We spent Christmas in Colombo, the capital, and the town came alive with people … Continue reading Christmas in Sri Lanka
Stupid Beautiful: Palawan & Beyond in The Philippines
November 10th, the day we got married, has come and gone and in its wake are a slew of memories we’ve been creating since leaving LA for our 4-month long honeymoon. It’s a helluva trip, one that is taking us to 3 continents and 8 countries. Our first stop was the magical island of Palawan … Continue reading Stupid Beautiful: Palawan & Beyond in The Philippines
