Viet Nam was a whirlwind. This was the last leg on my four week trip and the fatigue was starting to get to me. Thankfully, I met up with one of my cousins on my father’s side, Gina, who kickstarted my enthusiasm again. Ha Noi/Ha Long Bay Gina and I met in Ha Noi, and… Continue reading #graduasiatrip – viet nam

#graduasiatrip – cebu, philippines
Cebu was a miss for me. I didn’t love the food or people that I met. I have a few highlights though. 1. Mountain Biking. Apparently, people from all over the globe come to Cebu for its acclaimed mountain biking trails. I am a horrendous biker. The last bike I was on was with a… Continue reading #graduasiatrip – cebu, philippines
#graduasiatrip – taipei, taiwan
I traveled to Taipei solo where I’d hang out on my own for a few days and then meet up with my friends for the second half of time there. Taipei is a dream. I love the architecture, people and cleanliness. AND THE FOOD. Taiwanese street food is every foodie’s dream. I think in the… Continue reading #graduasiatrip – taipei, taiwan

American Airlines was having a ridiculous sale that allowed me and my friends to travel to Miami for under $80 round-trip! Day 1: We flew in really early Sunday morning to arrive in Miami at 9am. After checking into our… Continue reading miami beach

Marfa, TX and White Sands, NM My best friend, Jennifer, and I decided for our last undergrad Spring Break we would take a road trip to the road less traveled (aka West Texas). We drove from Austin to Marfa and then Marfa to White Sands. This year alone I’ve been able to visit two… Continue reading nguyen’s go west
new orleans, la
After living in Texas my entire life, it took a group of friends on a spontaneous trip to get me to New Orleans. Aka one of my favorite cities in the U.S. The entire atmosphere is inviting and fun. The food is beyond amazing and I’ll definitely be coming back for beignets. Cafe du… Continue reading new orleans, la

London, The United Kingdom For Thanksgiving, Cat and I went on our first trip together (just us two) to London. I don’t think I was quite expecting to love it as much as I did. In some ways, it was a better version of America… (So unpatriotic, but I have to be honest.) Cat and… Continue reading the uk

Bordeaux and Lyon Bordeaux and Lyon were both quick one day trips. From a 3euro Megabus ride from Paris, Bordeaux is my favorite French city (outside of Paris, of course). Bordeaux’s fine wine is something I will never forget. Traveling solo, I went on a wine tour through St. Emilion. This tour schooled me on… Continue reading france

Amsterdam, The Netherlands AmsterDAYUM. Wow. This city is great. I know tourists from all over the world come for the pot and Red Light District, but this city is so much more than that. I went with a great group of friends and we walked the city, went on bike tours and ate everything. We… Continue reading the netherlands
