Staycation is my favorite kind of vacation because it requires little effort of getting there so our actual vacation time is maximized.

After years of living in the Bay Area, my go-to staycation destination have always been either up North (Napa area) or down South (Carmel area). When a coworker told me that there’s a great hotel only 40mins away from my house, I had to check it out. Here are some photos from my weekend stay at Rosewood Cordevalle, if you’d like to see..


Photos don’t do the lobby justice. It’s so much nicer in person.






The room that we stayed at was nearly as big as my apartment and offered incredible views. It has a fireplace, a butlers bar in the entry and ample room in the closet.





The bathroom has one big tub next to the window, a small vanity area and double sinks. I could live in this bathroom!




The bedroom’s patio doors open up to terraces with lawn chairs that are perfect for getting some sun and enjoying breakfast and coffee in the morning.






Rosewood Cordevalle is a great staycation spot if you’re looking for a quiet oasis away from the buzzing Silicon Valley.

Booking spontaneous trips is a thing that I do now and then and when I found a good deal on airplane tickets (which is another story for another blogpost) to my favorite city, Portland.. I just had to do it!

I live for exploring my own town as a tourist and there is always a surprising find after an easy Google search on where to go next in the Bay Area. This time, we picked a place that sits right at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge..

Have you ever tried glamping? I have always wanted to try and when my friend found out about this place on Hipcamp, I knew I had to give this a try..

Starting the year right with a weekend trip up north to where the ocean is :) Last weekend, I visited Sea Ranch, Gualala, Bodega Bay, and had a pleasant stay at Timber Cove Resort. Some photos from the trip if you'd like to see..

During Thanksgiving week, we took a week off of work and flew to paradise. This was our first time visiting the island so our itinerary was packed with things to see and food to eat and I'm so excited to share this with you all..

Out of all the trips I've done this year, I think I'm most excited about this one because I've never planned a getaway around visiting a resort. This time, I decided to splurge a little and went for it..

After two full months of hiatus from going anywhere exciting, I finally got to check off one of my bucket list by renting out this insanely beautiful house in Joshua Tree..
