Mt. Fuji at sunrise. A shrine wedding straight out of a romance drama. Shibuya Crossing madness. Sushi, souvenirs, palace guards, and the world’s most devastating ice-cream rejection. Oh—and oysters worth writing home about. This day in Tokyo had EVERYTHING. Come see how it all unfolded!

Day 2 in Kyoto: Golden Dreams, Whispering Floors & Endless Orange Arches
Day 2 reminded me that Kyoto isn’t just a destination—it’s an experience, one that stays with you long after you’ve left.
“You Gotta Get Out of Here… Sorry” — The Tagline We Didn’t Know We Needed
Osaka made me laugh. Nara made me bow. Kyoto made me breathe.
Jet Lag, Joy, and Japanese Toilets — a Love Story of Sorts
Six women. One city. Countless servings of takoyaki. Osaka was more than a destination—it was the start of rediscovering who I am (with a little help from my dear friend and a very advanced toilet)
Felicity Arvizu Takes On: Washington, D.C.
They say Washington, D.C. is the beating heart of American democracy. Personally, I’d say it’s more like a heartbeat monitor—beep… beep… pause… “oh, is this thing still on?” But after three days in the nation’s capital, I can confirm: it’s a city worth taking on, even if you nearly end up knocking on the WhiteContinue reading “Felicity Arvizu Takes On: Washington, D.C.”
Day 6: Nuuk’d Up- Wind, Whale Snacks, and a lot of Reindeer

From Turbulence to Tacos: How I Became a Reluctant Jetsetter with a Camping Habit
I used to be the kind of woman who clutched the armrests on airplanes like they were life preservers. Then life gave me a wake-up call in the form of heartbreak, loss, and a whole lot of therapy. Now? You’ll find me cruising the Caribbean with my sister, camping on California beaches with a questionable air mattress, or road-tripping solo just to eat tacos in a different zip code. This isn’t the life I planned—but it might just be the one I always needed.
