My outlet for nerding out over travel, history, Disney World, and so much more
The other Sunday I was really craving a good breakfast/brunch place and coincidentally one of my friends texted me asking “did you ever find a good brunch spot in Miami?”. My friend knows that it is one of my most passionate pursuits in (Miami) life! Such describes the search for many people used to the […]
Read More In the pursuit of gluttony!- POC American Fushion Buffet and Sushi (Coral Gables)The other weekend my friend and I were looking for a late happy hour after working late on a Friday night and we decided on The News Lounge at the 55th Street Station. 55th Street Station is a pretty cool spot off of Biscayne with Andiamo’s Pizza, Soyka, and a number of other businesses (like […]
Read More Fresh and quality sushi detour- Sushi Siam (Biscayne Corridor)Last Sunday I took my little brother (from Big Brothers Big Sisters) down to Pinecrest to a friend’s house to go biking, as biking someplace new was one of his goals. Pinecrest is a pretty beautiful part of Miami with a lot of beautiful homes, streets, and trees. Close by is Old Cutler Road, which […]
Read More Biking through Pinecrest and the Pinecrest Farmer’s Market (Sights)From my searches and being on the lookout for things in Miami to explore I had seen Matheson Hammock Park on a map and driven by it a few times. Being on the Bay and a hammock park with a boat launch I figured it’d be a cool place to check out. As I did […]
Read More A tranquil atoll on the Bay- Matheson Hammock Park (Sights, Swimming, Hiking)The Miami-Dade County Fair, also know as “The Fair,” is a pretty big deal in Miami. Every year all my students would be talking about it and a lot of schools have sugar-fueled and shenanigan-filled field trips to the fairgrounds near FIU. There’s all the usual rides, tons of food stands, carnival games, and animals/exhibits […]
Read More THE Fair- Every guilty pleasure of food, rides, and prizes (Event-March)Peruvian is one of my favorite cuisines since moving to Miami and despite only being a recent convert sushi is high up on my list as well. So I knew a place that does both Peruvian and sushi was right up my alley! SuViche is in Brickell just a few blocks from Mary Brickell Village […]
Read More Like having your two best friends over for dinner- Peruvian and sushi fushion at SuViche (Brickell)When I lived in Brickell I often went to Key Biscayne when I wanted to go to the beach. Key Biscayne was close and it was much less touristy and crowded (ie. for me much more relaxing) than South Beach. I previously always had gone to Crandon Beach State Park when I visited the island […]
Read More A Top U.S. Beach In Miami’s Backyard- Bill Baggs State Park (Key Biscayne, Beach)I’ve been severely lagging on blog posts since about December until recently, but I became re-energized and am ready to catch up! A potential one I definitely needed to write is from my San Francisco trip over New Year’s. If you even semi-follow my blog you know that almost any West Coast mention/trip is usually […]
Read More Feels like the Willy Wonka Factory of Gluten-Free Baked Goods- Mariposa Baking Co. (San Francisco)San Diego was a busy trip for work but being right on the Marina and near the Gaslamp Quarter meant that even walking to the hotel or needing to get a meal led to some incredible sights and pic-worthy experiences. The day after the conference ended we had a team building day and debrief so […]
Read More Views, water, beaches, dolphins, sunsets, and more!- Pics from San DiegoMy conference in San Diego ended Tuesday afternoon and my team spent Wednesday team-building and debriefing the conference before flying out late Wednesday night on a red eye. We started off the day at The Mission restaurant in Mission Beach and they not only had super delicious, filling food, but also had a gluten-free menu […]
