I've always loved lemons.

​

Since I was a little girl, I would pick (and eat raw) the giant lemons off the trees in southern Italy. I visited my grandparents there often, and no trip was ever complete without at least passing by a farm of lemon trees. There's something about them, even the tennis-ball-sized ones in American supermarkets, that reminds me of traveling—perhaps it's simply me reminiscing our love-at-first-sight encounter in Europe. ​

​

I thrive in trip-planning—it truly gives me energy. But I'm also not afraid to get lost in Venezia, wander aimlessly in Milan until I stumble upon a gelato festival, hike Joshua Tree even in 120 degree weather simply because I'm nearby, wait in a two-hour line for the best ramen I've ever had in San Francisco or climb 3,500 ft for an indescribable view of Lucerne (+ bowl of Swiss mac & cheese).

​

So this is my blog where I attempt to turn every lemon into lemonade—every all-nighter planning session into an unforgettable travel excursion. It's for me to document some of my most cherished experiences and share my love for God's creation. 

​

Whether I'm flying confirmed or standby, I've always had this affinity (and knack) for packing in as much as possible in 24, 48 and 72-hour trips. And that's exactly what this blog is full of—quick trip travel guides!

​

God created such a beautiful world, it would be a shame not to explore, preserve + appreciate it.
