Holidays are an interesting time for me. Since my family is not very conventional, I was able to take the two weeks that I had off of work and go somewhere. So why Hawaii? I have a friend, Carlo, that I kept in contact with over social media through the years who lives in Hawaii. I believe it was only less than a month from my actual lan[...]
This post is long overdue, I know, but I believe that this experience was worth the post. Holidays have become a bit more different for me nowadays. I feel as though I don't need to spend them with family as tradition has it. For one, my parents are divorced. My mom doesn't celebrate holidays for religious reasons and my dad has friends[...]
On top of the craziness of the Pandemic, there has been a lot of tragic news with the POC population in America. The death of George Floyd and the countless other black lives lost to unjust has given momentum to the Black Lives Matter movement. The Coronavirus heightened Asian hate, which prompted attacks toward innocent victims. People[...]
Springtime is arguably the best season of the year - when you don't live in Florida. Upon arriving in DC, the trees were budding and it was only a matter of time before the iconic cherry blossoms would bring forth gorgeous hues of pink and white throughout the DMV area. Other than the monuments that DC is most known for, it would also ha[...]
It's been a while since I've posted and all that time in between, I have been working on setting up my new business, Solo Social. Since being unemployed, I have been at home educating myself about business and building my company on the backend. It had been about 4-5 months since my return from my road trip and about 6 months without a j[...]
Looking for a perfect activity to get away from the city? Here are 3 day hikes that are right outside of DC: Great Falls I made a previous post about Great Falls on this blog, here. However, I have since gone on a couple more hikes in the area. Located only 15 miles from the US Capitol is Great Falls. It’s a great day hike[...]
Hey everyone! I wanted to be completely honest about my situation. Although I've been sharing my exciting adventures from my solo road trip, I did end up having to cut my journey short because I was laid off. However, my journey doesn't end quite there. I have BIG plans for my next steps. When I first started my trip, I was so excited[...]
At the beginning of my road trip, I had no idea what real fine dining was. The extent of my fine dining was maybe Cheesecake Factory. I totally understand how absolutely sad that sounds, but honestly, I'm a simple girl. As long as it tastes good and I'm fed, I'm happy. However, since traveling with my new friend Alex who accompanied me t[...]
While I'm sure that this list could definitely be longer, I am going to go off of my personal experience and recent visit to the city. Largely, NYC's attractions are free and outdoors. While it may be intimidating to visit one of the most populated cities during a pandemic, I was surprised to feel pretty safe. Here are four socially dist[...]
Cape Cod was definitely a top bucket list destination on my East Coast road trip especially after a long period of following @KJP and @SarahKJP on Instagram. They are the epitome of what you would imagine a perfect New England lifestyle would be like. When thinking of these islands, I think of the Kennedy's, Lilly Pulitzer, Vineyard Vine[...]
