I never thought much of the city of Cincinnati before I met one of my best friends, who was born and raised in the area (and still lives there). I visited for the first time in January of 2020 on a long weekend just before the pandemic began for most and it turned out to be my last trip...
The historic city of San Francisco needs no introduction. It’s quite often in the news for a wide variety of reasons (after all, it’s a major city) but it’s a place that’s worth visiting at least once. With iconic landmarks, cable cars, tech giants, and a melting...
Looking for vegan food in San Francisco? Prepare to feast. San Francisco is my mother’s favorite city. It feels like she visits at least once a year (or once every other year) and case in point: she flew with my dad on a Thursday morning in September to see the (San Francisco) 49ers...
Looking for vegan food options at the Ferry Building Marketplace in San Francisco? You’re in the right place. While traveling, one of the things I have to do is explore a market so when I visited San Francisco last month, I visited the Ferry Building Marketplace. Located right in...
St. Thomas is one of three U.S. Virgin Islands and has an area of about 32 square miles. The island was originally settled by the Ciboney/Siboney people before being colonized by the Dutch and owned/occupied by the United States. It has an international airport and a pair of cruise ports...

If you love pirates, visit the island of St. Thomas. Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve loved pirates. Maybe it was their grand adventures; maybe it was the feeling of not being tied down. I still remember watching Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest in theaters as...
Hello, summer! It’s that time of year when it gets unseasonably warm and humid after it storms. I’ll be honest: I do not enjoy hot weather. It makes me miserable. I’m not a beach person. I don’t like getting sand in uncomfortable places. I don’t like the way...
One of the first things I looked for when I first started transitioning to a plant-based diet was vegan pizza in New Jersey. New Jersey is known for great pizza and no, I will not argue with New Yorkers or people from New Haven who think theirs is superior. Quality > quantity/price...
As much as I love long trips, shorter trips are better for managing my work schedule and time off, and they’re easier to budget. Long weekend trips are even better, especially if you’re planning to do domestic trips or purely leisure trips. Back in December, a friend and I had...
