The tube is expensive, how am I supposed to afford to get to my job or to school? How is this a city, but everything is so far away? It seems to take half an hour to get anywhere. Is everyone looking at me because they know I'm not from here? Can sense my US accent? … Continue reading First Impressions of Living in London
So, I'm leaving for London very soon. I arrive to a room of my own, a private bathroom, and quite a few things I need to figure out. I have begun the daunting packing process, tackling the cold weather stuff already. Most of my daily wear stuff like underwear and workout stuff has to be … Continue reading Prepping for My London Departure
After our tumultuous road trip, Greg and I were looking for a fun day of "exploring" a city that I'm very familiar with. Back in the days of middle school, I was a huge Broadway nerd. Like, I made my mother take me to the city once a month to see shows. I saw many shows … Continue reading Baby’s Day Out | New York City

Bendelacreme announced a month-long run of Infernoagogo in Provincetown, Massachusetts. I thought back to a time when a friend told me about how gay P-Town is and how close he lives. … Continue reading Cape Cod | Vacationland

We took the train into Westlake early-ish and walked to Pike Place Market. We walked through the market and saw the OG Starbucks. The line was … Continue reading Seattle | Home of Starbucks and Jinkx Monsoon
Ever since I learned of the permit system for climbing up the cables on Half Dome, I've wanted to do it. Admittedly, it was only about a year ago, but still. I knew Yosemite would be on my road trip's must-see list this year. I applied for a range of dates to let that dictate … Continue reading Summiting Half Dome in Yosemite National Park
The morning after our Whitney attempt, we immediately hit the road for the scorching hot temperatures of my beloved valley. We checked out (most of) Father John Crawley Vista on the way in. I've done that drive many times before, but it offer so many great views. The Panamint dunes are hanging out there in … Continue reading My Death Valley Reunion
After getting a late start leaving Oakland, we began the long trek to the Redwoods. We intended to hit up the coastal National Park section of the parks and got there at around dinner time. We rushed to buy our souvenir magnets, then hit up the beach briefly. It was cool and breezy, but the … Continue reading Redwood National Park | Rocky Coasts and Tall Trees
After Idaho, we had a day to spend with friends in Logan, Utah. We got some Aggie Ice Cream, saw some local shops and cafes, and had a nice time with one of the nicest families I've met. We saw some nature-y dams and got to get some great views of Bear Lake on the … Continue reading Middle America: Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio
