Every two hours, there’s a bus that goes from the village of Worpswede to the city of Bremen. Both places are located in Northern Germany and are 20km apart. A little more than 9,000 people live there. Around Worpswede there’s a vast area of nothingness. And it smells like cow dung. The surprising thing about Worpswede is that it’s quite… More Worpswede: flat land, cow dung and art
Photo by Noah C. You know that feeling of finding an unbelievably good deal when you’re buying something at the mall, or even the grocery store? That’s the kind of deal you get with Cabrillo National Monument in terms of adventures: $10 for access to tidepools, the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, a beautiful panoramic view… More Cabrillo National Monument: the perfect $10 San Diego adventure
Every time I come across anything that has to do with sustainable lifestyles and caring for the planet, I nerd out. Sometimes I strike my own self as strange for lighting up every time I visit places with recycling bins and compost piles. But it really is important to take care of the planet. How… More OMG! An eco-conscious hostel in Orange County
Orange County has really begun to pique my interest lately. I’m not entirely sure why… maybe it’s because it’s a quick getaway from LA right in Southern California. Whatever the case, three destinations in the OC made it on my 2016 bucket list. One of them was Mission San Juan Capistrano, which I was able… More Destination appreciation: Mission San Juan Capistrano
There aren’t a lot of boba shops in Santa Monica, but there’s a new one in town that’s worth stopping by if you happen to be in the area.

The trail is a little over a mile long one way and concludes at a beautiful beach with black sand and smooth stones. Trailhead The journey to… More Ho Chi Minh Trail: a slippery San Diego hike to Black’s Beach
I’ve visited the Philippines a good number of times in the past twenty-something years, and have inevitably gotten from point A to point B using the most widespread form of public transportation in the country: a jeepney. So when I found out that 1 of 8 jeepneys in the United States was right in Los… More Tour Los Angeles’ Historic Filipinotown in a Philippine jeepney!
I once read in an article that the average European person owns 10,000 things. If you start a long journey with just a backpack, however, not all of those bits and pieces can fit in it. Plus, you need to be able to carry all the things you bring around all the time. When I… More What my backpack taught me
With Downtown LA’s skyline and the 110 freeway among the most popular subjects when photographing the City of Angels, it can be hard to associate Los Angeles with Victorian architecture. But in the late 1800s, houses built in Southern California reflected the time period of the Victorian Era (1837 to 1901). Many of these historic buildings… More Time travel back to the Victorian Era at Heritage Square Museum
Up until I graduated from high school, I lived on a tiny rock in the Pacific Ocean called Saipan. It’s a gorgeous island about 30 minutes north of Guam by plane that has sunshine and consistent tropical temperatures all year round. (Google Maps finally made street view available on Saipan, so feel free to virtually… More Don’t take your backyard for granted like I did
