From pastel palace to seaside cliffs—this trip was short, but the memories are staying with me.

A+ Adventure: Iceland With My Daughter

Every year, I reward my daughter with a trip for getting A/B grades—and this time, she chose Iceland. Five days, a rental car, and a whole lot of awe later, we left with memories that’ll last a lifetime.

Rain, ramen, and real Geishas. From Tokyo’s neon nights to Kyoto’s quiet shrines, here’s what happened when I traveled Japan—solo.

Greek Island Hopping: Chaos, Calm & Cold Ocean Water

From the maze-like streets of Mykonos to the peaceful cliffs of Folegandros, my best friend Madeline and I island-hopped across Greece—laughing, learning, and soaking up every unforgettable view. This wasn’t just a trip—it was our first big international adventure together.
