A First Timer’s Guide to NYC

Travel, Travel Guides

It was hard to admit that it took me this long to get to New York City in the first place. I got enough “what?! You’ve NEVER been to NYC?!” outcries in casual conversations that I decided it was high time to fly coast to coast and finally explore the iconic city.

But the biggest question was: what to do? In a city so historic, so cosmopolitan, so full of diversity, how could I distill its essence in only four days?

The truth is, you can’t. NYC is simply too much for just one visit, and I will definitely be back for more. Like so, so many others before me, New York will leave you hopelessly in love, starry eyed, and craving more.

Inspiration, Travel

September 27th is World Tourism Day, an occasion marked by the United Nations World Tourism Organization to “foster awareness among the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic value.” While it’s certainly an ideal reason to satiate your unending wanderlust by dreaming of far off places and pinning photos for your future travel bucketlist, it’s also a day to contemplate the significance of travel, why we (as insatiable wanderers) devote our lives to it, and its impact on our global community.

A Culinary Travelogue: What to Eat in Bali

Travel

There’s no better way to experience a place than through it’s food. In Bali, local food is slow-roasted and coconut glazed meats like pork and duck accentuated by spice rubs in which a delicious combination of tamarind, lemongrass, ginger, coriander, galangal, and cumin make an appearance.

With flavor influences from across Java and Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, the food of Bali is both unique and typically Southeast Asian, and you’ll find a variety of scrumptious dishes and dining options, from local warungs, beach clubs, and street vendors to mid-range hot spots and high-end restaurants.
