This semester, my sister is studying abroad in Europe, so I was excited when my parents made plans for us to visit her over my spring break. Since we would be going to two big cities, Paris and Geneva, I also looked forward to getting some new material about European city life and travel for this […]
For the Anxious Twenty-Somethings….
You know that moment where you feel like you are completely booked? But then somehow you have to add one more thing. It doesn’t have to be big. You just remember that you need to call the bank or wash your sheets, but whatever it is, it’s just one more thing that will cut into your […]
We stayed at the #1 hotel in the Caribbean and were overwhelmed
I had heard Bucuti & Tara was ranked the #1 hotel in the Caribbean on TripAdvisor and the #1 romantic hotel in the world.

When I came to New York, I did not think I would be seeing any Broadway shows because I would be a broke student. Broadway, if you didn’t know, can be crazy expensive. Still, my friends and I have managed to see a few shows without breaking the bank, using services that I now assume […]

Freezing in the City
Earlier today, I returned to the concrete jungle after a month of suburbia. Throughout the bus ride, my excitement was growing. It was clear, and sunny-the type of day that in a different month would be warm. Unfortunately, when I got off of the Port Authority, I got a slap in the face by the […]
Fit in the City (NYU Guest Writer)
When I first arrived in New York City for school, a lot of people I knew told me how they planned to go to the gym and to go running (I was looking for a running buddy, so I asked). Most of them were adamant about not wanting to gain the freshman fifteen. Before I […]
