Happy New Year! I hope you had a restful New Year. I went to a friends' party and then my partner and I watched the ball drop on CNN back at my apartment. (Pro tip: If you find yourself in New York City on New Year's Eve, do not - I repeat, do NOT - go to Times Square. You're welcome.) I was looking at my Google Analytics recently and I was really surprised about what my top posts of the year were so I wanted to share them here. I'm also still just acclimating back to real life after having two ... VIEW POST

A Solo Traveler’s Guide to Budapest (on a Budget)
In the coming weeks, I'm going to start posting what essentially are round-ups to my experiences in different cities so a) they're all in one place for you guys, and b) so I can more easily keep track of what I've written about and what I still need to write about. This is as much a selfish endeavor as it is a helpful one to people looking to travel to Budapest (and other cities) by themselves. I thought I'd start with Budapest because I wrote about Budapest a LOT. I'd started this blog only a ... VIEW POST
Power to the People: Protests in NYC vs. Budapest
You may have heard that last week was the Women's March in major cities (and probably not major cities) across the United States. As far as I know, they were completely safe and no one was arrested. I took part in the one on the Upper West Side of New York City and marched downtown. To be quite honest, it was a very short march. But it's always nice to band together with people who are as outraged by outrageous policies are you are. The internet cannot provide that kind of camaraderie (sorry, ... VIEW POST
Checking Out The Cat Cafe (Budapest, Hungary)
Before you even roll your eyes: YES, this is another cat cafe-related post. I love cats and I love going to cat cafes and I went to FOUR on my last trip abroad and I think you deserve to hear about all of them. So, if you don't like cats, move on to the next post, please and thank you! I went to in Budapest last March that was also called "Cat Cafe." I visited this cozy cafe after my trip to the Budapest Zoo on my second morning in Budapest. It had begun to rain towards the end of my visit to ... VIEW POST
Visiting the Only Cat Pub in Europe: Whiskers (Budapest, Hungary)
I really wanted to write about the cat cafes that I went to while I was abroad this week, so if you're not a cat person, feel free to to come back next week when I'm writing about places that don't have anything to do with cats, BUT when I was in Cat Cafe Budapest, I noticed they were advertising for a cat pub. The same owners also own Whiskers, Budapest's first-ever cat pub. It's located on a less dimly lit street 4 or 5 blocks from the Cat Cafe and when you walk in, you wouldn't know it's ... VIEW POST
Visiting the Cat Cafe Budapest (Budapest, Hungary)
After I'd been traveling for upwards of 12 hours to Budapest (via Istanbul, ugh, again, worst idea ever!) and I'd thrown my stuff down in my hostel, I decided to walk around to get my bearings and see what I could before the sun went down. After I'd taken about 6,483 photos of the Chain Bridge (I mean, who could blame me, it's SO pretty lit up!), the sun was officially down and I was tired and starving so I looked up what time Cat Cafe Budapest was open until and they were still open for ...
