Last year, I celebrated New Year’s Eve in Jaipur. My family and I spent the day at historical landmarks, and danced the night into 2020. My favorite part of the day was going to the Jal Mahal (Water Palace) . It was built as a hunting lodge for the local Raja (or king). The palace was submerged after a dam was built, and to this … Continue reading New Year’s Eve at the Water Palace
Last year, my trip to North India was my last big trip before COVID travel restrictions…seems so long ago. It was freezing cold in December, but seeing the landmarks was worth it. Of the numerous landmarks, Taj Mahal was my favorite. The Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders of the world, and after visiting the monument I understand why. Built in the 17th … Continue reading Visiting One of the Wonders of the World
Imagine being in a helicopter, flying around, and then landing inside the Grand Canyon! That is what I did when I visited the natual feat. If you are planning a trip to Nevada, I definitely recommend taking a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. When deciding whether or not to see the canyon, I wondered why anyone would want to see a big hole in … Continue reading Grand Canyon Adventure
This week my family and I decided on an impromptu road trip. The plan was to drive south towards San Diego and stop along the way. One fun stop was in Dana Point where we ventured out to the tide pools. The tide pools in Dana Point are located by the Ocean Institute, an education center located by the beach. We parked the car and … Continue reading Dana Point Tide Pools
Mexican food is so flavorful yet I feel the menus are limiting for vegetarians, that is of course, until I discovered La Chicana Vegana! My family and I ordered from La Chicana Vegana (previously a food truck) in Downtown Fullerton today, and absolutely loved it! The vegan menu broadens the options for vegetarians compared to traditional Mexican restaurants or food trucks. Although the selection is … Continue reading La Chicana Vegana – A Vegetarian’s Dream
Throughout quarantine I have kept myself busy by going on walks and hikes around my home, but over the weekend my family and I decided to get out and hike a trail at Peters Canyon. The outing reminded me of Virginia Beach, as my family would spontaneously hike at First Landing State Park, but the overall scenery was completely different. The hike was quite easy, … Continue reading Hiking My Way Out of Ennui
Lately I have been reminiscing about what I was doing this time last year. The adventures that I was going on don’t compare to the static life I’m living now. Last year, I was frolicking through the brightly colored poppy fields in Lake Elsinore. The area was saturated with bright orange flowers, contrasting from the green mountain they grew on, making it such a scenic … Continue reading How I Long for Poppy Field Adventures…
India is such a vast country. In order to see it all, one would have to stay three months or more. I saw many monuments while staying in North India for 2 weeks. Although the jet lag was insane, the food was amazing, and I took so many photos. The first monument that I traveled to was the Qutub Minar, a 239.5 foot tall minaret, … Continue reading Qutub Minar
Looking for a burger? I was surprised to learn that Red Robin has great options, even for VEGETARIANS . They have a blackbean patty and Impossible patty which can be subbed in any burger which make the options endless! The “French Onion Ringer” burger with a blackbean patty comes with three onion rings on top, and is very visually impressive. The patty can be … Continue reading Red Robin – Yummm
This July, I ventured out to the California Desert. I’m not sure if it was a good idea (it being so hot and all), but in the end, I guess I could say I had some fun and learned a few lessons Anza Borrego is known for its Bighorn Sheep, which I got to see plenty of during a chance encounter. I mainly went to … Continue reading Anza Borrego – More like Scorching Borrego
