I am absolutely obsessed with my cute and clingy goldendoodle named Crosby (and more recently, our rescued toy poodle Cookie), so I’ve spent the last 8 years finding as many ways to bring my dogs with me all around Hong Kong. While many parts of the city sadly do not allow dogs (including most of …
It’s finally sunny in Hong Kong, so we took advantage of it by visiting our go-to spot for sun and gentle waves, Shek O Beach. It’s very popular and can get crowded on the weekends, but the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. As a bonus, it’s easily accessible by public transit through the …
If I’m being totally honest, my favorite dining experiences over 7 trips to Japan have not revolved around sushi, ramen, or tonkatsu, but around wagyu beef.

I’ve been incredibly grateful to do 3 separate five-day trips to Niseko from 2019-2024, a world-class ski and snowboarding destination in the Northern Hokkaido prefecture of Japan, about a 3-4 hour drive from Sapporo.

After 2 trips to Florence 2 summers in a row, I’ve truly fallen in love with this beautiful Tuscan city that feels like you time traveled back to the Renaissance. It has so much going for it, between the historic and ornate buildings and museums, bustling piazzas and markets, a river cutting through the city, …
I spent 10 of the best years of my life in New York, and have found a way to revisit 1-4 times every year for the past 7 years since relocating to Hong Kong. There’s something about walking down the street that fills you with a unique energy – a sense that you never know …
Between an amazing Vietnamese restaurant, a true American bar & grill, and a couple of places that blur the lines, we were incredibly pleased by the non-Hawaiian and Japanese places we tried while in Oahu. Read my guides on Oahu’s local food and bakeries. The Pig and The Lady Located in the heart of Honolulu’s …
