Everything I packed for a four-day trip to Cartagena—and a review of The Day Crossover Sandals from Everlane
Rosario Islands Day Trip: A Review of Islabela Eco Resort
A trip to Cartagena wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the beach. But after reading numerous reviews of the beaches in the Bocagrande district citing thick crowds, constant offers from street vendors (including oyster scams and sudden massages), and slightly murky water, Michael and I decided to look further afield to Colombia’s Rosario Islands. …
Travel Guide for Four Days in Cartagena, Colombia
“Wow, Cartagena?” People asked Michael and me, over and over again when we told people where we were traveling for our eleventh (dating) anniversary.

Visiting Teotihuacan with a Local through Airbnb Experiences
One of Mexico City’s best-known and most popular attractions is also one of the hardest to get to. Before our visit last month, Michael and I read through countless guides and blog posts detailing how to get to the pyramids of Teotihuacan before ultimately deciding to book an Airbnb Experience, and even then we were …
A Meal to Remember: What it’s Like to Dine at Pujol in Mexico City
Let’s just get this out of the way: I felt awful by the time we left Pujol, Enrique Olvera’s flagship restaurant in Mexico City. Despite the fact that we’d stopped eating many hours earlier in anticipation of our incredible dinner ahead, at some point, I misjudged where we were in the menu’s course listing and …
