I spent Valentine’s Day weekend in Paris, France this year, sadly without Dan (SORRY DAN)! It was a girl’s weekend, and we had the best time. I will be posting more about what we did, where we ate, how Paris is in February (spoiler alert, it was amazing and 60 degrees and sunny!), and how you can recreate our itinerary, but for now, here is a snippet of some of my favorite pictures!

First up, la tour Eiffel at sunset. Valentine’s color schemed.

Macarons at Laduree.

60 degrees at la tour Eiffel actually on Valentine’s Day.

Pretty rugs on a private tour at Versailles.

Le Louvre.

Truffle cheese, french bread, and wine.

The little hens on the trip. On top of Galleries Lafayette at the Ice Cube Bar.

O’Paris Pub in Versailles. A great post-Versailles break with outdoor seating.

The group at dinner at 58 Tour Eiffel.

Winged Victory.

Parisian fried chicken.

Swoon.

Les Jardins de Versailles.

Love an old French advert.

Cute restaurant that was there when I lived in the 11th!

Pretty Parisian buildings.

Another pretty restaurant.

Le Tabac.

Notre Dame de Paris.

View from the top of le Centre Pompidou.

Midnight at la tour Eiffel. Post dinner, drinks, and a visit to the top!

Our Weekend In Beautiful (And Crowded) Prague!

Ah, Prague. For certain, one of the most beautiful cities in the World. Also, one of the most crowded with tourists. Seriously, SO MANY TOURISTS. In any case, Dan & I spent a really lovely long weekend in Prague in October 2018 with our friends Meghan and Tinh!

I first experienced Prague in 2004 (!!), when I was much younger studying abroad, much less traveled, and had barely even heard of Prague. I visited over Halloween weekend in 2004, and I remember it being the most exotic place that I had ever visited. Now all of that has changed, but Prague does still retain a certain Central/Eastern European charm that I really love. In my opinion and experience, Prague is a great destination for travelers who have been to a few “bucket list” places and are ready to brach off, at least seemingly, to a less visited destination.

Eating Our Way Though The Hawker Centers In Singapore!

Singapore is known to be a foodie destination and one of its most well-known gastronomic experiences is a meal at a “hawker center.” See anytime Anthony Bourdain is in Singapore. And if you don’t follow everything Anthony Bourdain does, (1) you should, and (2) a “hawker center” is basically a food court (like a mall food court) where Singaporeans eat very high quality food for less than a small fortune.

Lounge Review: Ambassador Transit Lounge, Singapore Changi Airport, Terminal 2.

Dan & I flew into Singapore Changi Airport’s Terminal 2 on Scoot Air from Langkawi International Airport earlier this year. Since we were arriving and needed to collect our luggage, we were uncertain if we would be able to visit a lounge on our way in. However, given the cost and expense of Singapore, and the number of good lounges in Singapore, we decided to give it a try!

Why You Should Visit Porto, Portugal!

Dan and I traveled to Porto, Portugal earlier this year after some Lisbon-area wedding planning, and our visit reaffirmed my decision that I absolutely love Porto! It is really one of my favorite places in Europe. Maybe its the beautiful scenery, maybe its the old school buildings and Vespas, or maybe its the delicious food and wine. But in any case, I just love Porto!
