PHOTOGRAPHY: Viejo San Juan (Part 1)

By

I almost didn’t go to Viejo San Juan. I heard it is very touristy.  And my Puerto Rico trip was about visiting Rease for a couple of days and then spending time alone (well, with a furry companion) to focus on a work project and experience a new environment. I am so happy I listened […]

Boston is beautiful. There is also a lot to see, do, and experience in this dynamic city.  If you only have a short time to explore, perhaps my Top 7 list will help you narrow it down. My Top 7 Boston #1 – Explore the Charles River Esplanade   Whether you join the Bostonians on […]

Pants! #7DayStretch

By

Yep, this post is all about pants.  Specifically, one pair of amazing pants. I was excited when prAna asked me to participate in their #7DayStretch challenge because I tried out their clothes for travel and loved them.

But you never know what opportunity may come your way. And when the opportunity to attend a training class in Bengaluru (formerly […]

Eat Street: A mecca for street food lovers in Bengaluru

By

  Twitter, the kindness of strangers, and passion for food led me to one of the my most memorable travel experiences ever. With no time to plan, I sent an abrupt “Does anyone know anyone in Bangalore” tweet to my followers.  Karthik responded and emailed me the names of a couple of contacts who happen […]

Adventures in Dog Sitting in Puerto Rico

By

Rease warned me that Padfoot loves to chase iguanas.  I just didn’t expect to have to deal with an iguana situation my first day alone.  Luckily, it was nothing compared to iguanapocalypse (seriously, the photos in Rease’s post are terrifying), but it was a bit unsettling and brought out the girly-girl in me. Adventures in Dog Sitting […]
