How to Spend a Weekend in Los Angeles

Los Angeles: land of beaches, mountains and, of course, Hollywood. With a city so renowned, I was so excited to embark upon my adventure to the West Coast. Naturally, I turned to my black hole addiction known as Pinterest, and I became more confused and bewildered than when I began. I soon learned about 4,109,275,844 things I could do during my two full days dedicated to exploring L.A. Great… Fortunately, I had the help of some friends: S, Taylor and Suzanne. No, this list isn’t exhaustive, but if you’re looking for several quick highlights of L.A., here’s how to spend...

ITALY at a glance

Blazing heat overwhelmed my tired frame, but nonetheless the lush, rolling landscapes took my breath away. By the end of my 10 day European tour, I was exhausted. Early alarms set for 4 a.m. to make the journey from London to Paris. Late nights giggling with my roomies in our hotel in Paris. Miles and miles (and miles!!) of walking. So, when our night train pulled into the station in Milan, we all arrived in a fog (which probably stemmed from the fact that the previous night had probably been one of the worst experiences of my life).
