During my girls' trip in June, I booked my hostels last minute since I also decided on going to Malta at the last minute and then ended up stuck in Edinburgh. I decided to stay in St. Julian's in Malta, which is on the northwest part of the island. It was said to have a … Continue reading Marco Polo/St. Christopher’s Hostels
Wombats Hostel: Munich
Did you guy know I went to Germany during a layover? A lot of my coworkers then followed suit either to Munich like me or somewhere else. Even the ones who hated the long layovers in Dublin are looking forward to them. I feel like a trendsetter. Anyways I had 3 days open in Dublin … Continue reading Wombats Hostel: Munich
Blue Lagoon: Worth It?
In short: yes! Thanks for reading! Kidding. Though if that's all you needed, yes you should definitely go! It's pretty easy to access from the airport and the city center. Most people say that the Blue Lagoon is super touristy and it is but in my opinion, there's a reason things are very touristy and … Continue reading Blue Lagoon: Worth It?
M Montreal Hostel
It's been a while since I've been able to do a hostel review since I've been staying in hotels for work mostly. Hotels are nice, I stay in my own room in a 3 or 4 star joint with free breakfast, free late check out, and free transport to the airports. Sometimes they are far … Continue reading M Montreal Hostel

If I … Continue reading Sushi X

Gibney’s of Malahide
As per recommendations from locals, I decided after spending two trips in the city center I decided to check out the suburb of Malahide, just north of my hotel.

Kaler’s Crab and Lobster House
Dad decided to take us on a spontaneous trip from York Beach to check out some other areas in southern/central Maine that he thinks he may want to move to as his retirement approached. About an hour north of Portland is Boothbay Harbor, a cute town that seems to make most of its tourism money … Continue reading Kaler’s Crab and Lobster House

Shell & Bone sits on the waterside at Long Wharf in New Haven where you can watch boats come and go from the marina next door. On nice days you might be able to get lucky enough to sit on the porch right over the water and see out to the greater New Haven area … Continue reading Shell & Bone
