  • My Mini-Food Tour: Polk Street

    After laying out in the park during a beautiful sunny, summer-like day in San Francisco – which means a day where it’s above 65 degrees – I was hungry and ready to eat. My boyfriend and I made our way to a very reliably delicious area on Polk St., between Green and Broadway. It is…

    Cancun: Tropical Paradise Ready for Tourists

    Paradise: clear waters, beautiful beaches, lots of sunshine…why did I leave again? This trip was a great break from the snowy winter.
