6th & Vine

May 28, 2015

Have you ever fell in love with something and felt like you’d never find anything like it ever again? That’s how I felt after eating what I thought was the end-all of baked brie while in London two years ago. Brie on its own is delicious. Baking brie so that the cheese is all gooey and melts in your mouth is nothing less than heavenly. So I was somewhat in mourning over the fact that I’d never find another baked brie like it ever again… And boy, was I wrong!

6th & Vine is one of my new favorite finds in the Arts District of Winston-Salem. I’d heard rave reviews of the food and drinks but I didn’t try it for myself until earlier this past spring. The menu’s varied and the specials are always delicious sounding and I’m pretty sure that they source their ingredients locally.

Travel Washington DC

Postcards from // An Afternoon in DC

April 8, 2015

I spent the last few days of spring break a few weeks ago at my friend Hana’s house, who lives just outside of Washington DC. With a little nudging (i.e. continuous bugging), Hana agreed to take me downtown for the afternoon so that I could once again walk around one of my favorite cities. We were only in DC for a few hours and during most of our visit it rained cats and dogs. But even rain can’t cover the beauty of our nation’s capital!

So much sushi was eaten that weekend and I’m not one to complain about that.

Mexico Travel

Postcards from // Cancun

March 18, 2015

Last week I spent spring break in Cancun with some of my closest friends. Apparently I’ve been to Mexico before but I was so young that I can’t even remember it so it was like traveling to a new country for the first time. Granted we mostly just sat by the pool and didn’t really get a feel for local life or do any of the many activities available (like swimming with whale sharks!!), but the week of sunshine was much needed after the cold winter we’ve been experiencing in North Carolina.

Here are some of the pictures I took over our five day vacation. I’m getting a little nostalgic looking back over them and it’s making me want to hop back on a plane to the tropics.

Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens

January 26, 2015

When I was in Florida just before the new year, my dad let me have free-reign on whatever I wanted to do. We used to go to the Morikami Japanese Gardens a lot when I was younger (it’s a great place to take kids!) but I hadn’t been in a few years, so I was excited to go back again. I’m not sure how excited my dad actually was but he tagged along without complaint.

Brighton Beach Travel

#TBT // Day Trip to Brighton Beach

December 18, 2014

Over a year ago while studying abroad in London, a group of us decided to escape the city for the day. We booked our train tickets, packed our bags, and headed out to Brighton. The train ride was only about an hour long, which gave us just enough time for some snoozing before we were off exploring the streets and alleyways of the little seaside town. Our first stop was lunch at Terre a Terre, a vegetarian restaurant with the most amazing food. I didn’t get any pictures of my meal but I remember that I ordered the special of the day and I would definitely recommend stopping by!

Our next stop was, maybe obviously, the beach.
