Although my hometown of Fairfield, CA may not have a whole lot going on in it, there are plenty of cool nearby destinations which were great during Fabian’s visit to the west coast to meet my family. One of those places being Napa, a well known valley to wine lovers and connoisseurs around the … More Napa’s Wine Country
Today was the day we set out on our road trip that we’ve been planning since Colombia. Since Fabian took me to Miami for my birthday when we were in Florida, I wanted to take him some place special for his during his stay in California. So, of course, my first idea was Disneyland! But … More Road Trippin: California’s Coast
A little over an hour outside of Cartagena are the beautiful beaches of Barú. As I’ve mentioned before, Fabian’s family is not into tourist attractions.

His brother’s birthday … More Miami: Downtown & Key Biscayne

You don’t need a park ticket for entry, but they do start checking IDs at 10pm. The stretch includes plenty of restaurants and bars; one of my favorites being Fat Tuesday, home of … More Blue Man Group

This leads to the need of releasing all stress by dancing and drinking recklessly, as many Cast Members do at Downtown Disney’s House of Blues. Every Sunday HOB features local … More Orlando: Where it all Began…
