My first time traveling alone, my father sat me down, pointed to his phone, and said, “This is the hotel I booked for you.” At first glance, it seemed like an ordinary hotel, nothing too fancy. The only thing that stuck out was the three stars shining right above the reviews. The hotel location was near a busy intersection, where coincidentally, a police station was right down the road. via GIPHY I can’t blame my father for choosing safety as a priority, especially for his little girl traveling alone. In today’s world, most travelers-especially the younger ones- are so tech-savvy that finding a hotel with all the commodities they need…

Setting a wedding date is hard enough, but having to figure where you’ll be spending your honeymoon is a whole other story. Unfortunately, this isn’t something you can pick from the top of your head. Nor does it require excessive research. The timing of your honeymoon is just as important (if not more) than the location itself. Think about it, why would you want to go somewhere that’s flooded with tourists in the summer? Or head to a tropical island in the winter? Some couples may hire a travel agent, so they don’t end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ask yourself: if this were a regular…

I actually have a list of camping essentials saved on my phone; you want me to airdrop it to you? We’re definitely planning a trip sometime next week; my family’s been taking camping trips every month since I was nine. Did I mention I love camping? No, I am not ashamed to admit I have a problem. Even my partner, who’s a sucker for adventure, thinks I’m a lunatic when it comes to camping trips. In reality, it’s camping that brings keeps me grounded…

When it comes to wedding traditions, all I know is old, new, borrowed, and blue. It never crossed my mind how unusual this tradition is until I read up on other countries and their way of celebrating. For example, it never occurred to me that a bride’s dress would be any color other than white. I understood that wedding dresses worldwide were different, but white always stuck out as the color of a new beginning. It’s normal nowadays to see traditions being broken, and couples carving out a new path to create their own customs. via GIPHY As old of a custom it may seem, several cultures still require the…

For a substantial part of my young adult life, I was not too fond of weddings. Seriously? Two people decide to spend their lives together and want the whole world to know? Yuck. As my mind matured and a mimosa at ten in the morning became a thing of the past, I slowly began to embrace them. Whenever I’d receive an invitation, I’d feel like a kid on Christmas morning. Why the sudden change in rationality, you ask? I’ve realized that weddings are ceremonies where two people decide to spend the rest of their lives together and wish for the world to know! It goes deeper than booze and learning…
