Five Reasons to Move in Your 30s

Most people feel like they need to “have it all together” in their 30s. Despite crushing interest rates, astronomical inflation and a seemingly never-ending stream of “unprecedented events”, millenials still feel enormous pressure to have already ticked off all the boxes of a “happy life” by now, or at least be well on our way to doing so. But what if we haven’t yet, and are nowhere close? Or worse, what if we HAVE and are still miserable? As someone who has lived in 6 cities as an adult (if you count my three months in Granada, Spain for a semester abroad, which I definitely do!), and can tell you with certainty that my experiences living in different places have been the most significant and enjoyable parts of my life. I recently moved to Miami – which I had been planning for over 2.5 years – and it changed my…

The Ultimate Solo Traveler’s Guide to Mexico City

I recently spent almost two weeks in Mexico City on a solo trip, and am already thinking of planning a return trip to discover more of the city! Even with 11 full days (or 10 since I got food poisoning one day), I feel like I barely scratched the surface of the city. I mainly wanted to wander around, get lost and explore the city at my leisure, so I really did not plan much in advance of my trip. I also met up with a friend for drinks my first few nights, as she was visiting with her sister during the beginning of my trip, but I spent most of my time alone and really loved it! I could have easily spent another few MONTHS there and not gotten bored. If you are planning a trip but are not sure if you should go alone, or want to save…

The Best Matcha Spots in Mexico City

I have been a matcha lover for over 6 years, but due to stomach issues, I had to completely give up coffee at the end of 2021. The first few trips I went on in 2022 were a fun adventure of finding different matcha spots in new cities, and having great success with it. I was especially excited to check out new coffee shops in Mexico City – given how big the cafe culture is there – and thought my stomach would be able to handle some coffee here and there. Unfortunately, between an ulcer/gastritis flare up before my trip, and getting food poisoning during my trip, I had to avoid coffee altogether. Once I realized matcha was going to be my best friend again, I took it upon myself to try matcha from as many places as I could find. I am happy to report that I found some…

Six Tips for Solo Traveling (and Why You Should!)

I have been solo traveling since I was 17, with my first trip being a solo plane ride to visit my brother in Boston for a week. Since then, I have been on more solo trips than I can count, with the majority of them being completely on my own. I have learned to not only appreciate solo travel, but often prefer it! Read on for my six tips for solo travel, some more stories about my experiences, and why I think you should prioritize it in 2023: Take Yourself Out on Solo Dates It might seem obvious, but you spend a LOT of time alone when you are traveling solo! For someone who is not used to doing things alone – especially for extended periods of time – this might be jarring. In the extreme, it might cause anxiety and depression, which is certainly not the goal of solo…

Phoenix Travel Guide: All You Need To Know For A Luxury Experience In Phoenix, Arizona

I recently came back from my second annual solo trip to Phoenix, and I had an AMAZING time!! My trip last year was one of the most peaceful and satisfying trips I have ever been on, and I was itching to go back this year. I thought the timing would be perfect, because I gave my two weeks notice at my apartment right after New Year’s and moved out end of February, then went to Arizona the first week of March, but I did not account for the fact that it would be packed with spring break travelers. Luckily, it did not ruin my trip whatsoever! And aside from one rainy afternoon (while I was at the pool!), the weather was gorgeous all week. Read on to find out what I did and what some of my favorite spots were! Cafes My number one mission anywhere I go is to…
