A collection of my memories to look back on that can also help you out with your travel plans :)
Birthday season means one thing: let’s get out of NYC. This year, both of our ankle injuries (how romantic) stopped me from being comfortable with committing to a place involving hiking. And yet, we still walked roughly 20K steps a day, many at an incline. We spent two full days in Montreal, half a day…

We had spent four days running through Taipei, but I had strongly suspected that going to Shizhou & Alishan would be my favorite part of Taiwan.

Two months before settling in on Asia, I needed to be convinced by Evan to choose Taiwan. Two weeks before we left, (after we had done crazy amounts of research) I suspected we wouldn’t want to leave. And when we did leave, we actually teared up in the airport, which we have only ever done…

We felt as though we were vacationing in the Britain of the European tropics because everyone spoke English. From the looks…

While we spent six summer days in Patagonia (in March), eight days at a bare minimum are needed to hit the most popular day hikes without rushing. Six days was definitely a rush to travel between the towns and the borders but it’s the most we could manage to do after our time in Buenos…

Work has been mentally and somehow physically draining me, and NY’s winter made me crave heat – so our last trip was 13 summer days in Argentina (and Chile, and Brazil, and Uruguay), but here are my recommendations for 4-6 March Days in Buenos Aires Quips 13 March Days in Argentina, Our Itinerary Do I…
