2022: My Q1 Recap

It almost feels foreign to be typing up a brand new blog post after months of not even coming close to opening up Blogger. I kept wanting to wait for the perfect time to go back to blogging, but as life keeps so helpfully reminding me this year, there is no such thing. You've just got to do the…

Beautiful Banff

It’s been a little over two months since my trip up to Banff with my sisters Mel & Rachel – which was the first proper vacation my sisters and I have taken where it was just the three of us. I’ll admit that I’d always admired Banff as the most famous photos of the place include beautiful natur…

Sláinte, Ireland! Part 02

I can't believe I finally got to cross a new place off my travel bucket list. The place in question, as the title of this post totally gives away, is Ireland. I've wanted to visit the Emerald Isle since I was a child, and to be able to have that experience and share it with three of the pe…

Merci, Paris! Part 01

I’ve always romanticized Paris in my mind, but my initial trip there in 2016 with my family served as a reality check for that film perfect daydream that I’d always clung to. The truth is that Paris is a city spun out of complicated history, decadent culture and markers of modernity, and while it …

It’s been a couple of weeks since my sisters, Macky and I ventured upstate, but I still wanted to tell you all about our little adventure! We had been planning a fun weekend away for Rachel’s birthday, initially tossing around the idea of going up to a cabin or to a resort where we could snowboard…

Alexa's Adventures #14 | Book Events, Dessert Dates & Other Outings

It's been months since the last time I talked about my life adventures  (and it makes me sad that I missed out on sharing my holiday outings, but hey, December is busy in real life and there's always this year for that)! I thought it was high time I did a little catch-up on these personal p…

Alexa's Adventures #13 | Book Events, Road Trips & Foodie Outings

I realized over the weekend that it's been a little too long since the last time I shared about what I've been up to lately, so I decided I needed to remedy that. I've always enjoyed being able to look back on these posts and see what I've been up to, and this one in particular is …

Alexa's Adventures #12 | Walt Disney World + New York Comic Con

The last two weeks have been jam-packed with all sorts of fun things! I've been having a stressful time at work lately (though I think things may have eased up on that front as of right now), so it's been really nice to be able to take some time away from it to do things with folks I love.…

Alexa's Adventures #11 | Anime Day + Boston Teen Author Festival

Even before the month started, I already knew September was going to be filled with a ton of fun events! True enough, I've barely had time to sit on my laurels (both when it comes to actual work and to the fun stuff), but I wouldn't have it any other way. (Okay, maybe I would like work to …

London Calling, Part 02

It's time for part two of my London recap! (If you're interested, check out part one as well !). Today, I'll be sharing what Mel and I got up to during our last day and half in London. I'm still amazed at how much we managed to fit into our time in this city! We kicked off our Sunda…
