This month was a quiet month at home! Recommended Reading Lili on the Loose I didn't write much this month. I had grand plans to do so, but just didn't have the energy. Thus most of my favorite posts this month are mostly photography related: Crack in the Shadows of Xibalba Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa Colors of Ancient Egypt Other Blogs I feel like other bloggers have been busy traveling and so there haven't been as many articles that caught my inspiration. But here are the ones that I did enjoy: Math + Churros = delightfully funny (and craving

June 2016 Recap

By Lili|July 2nd, 2016|Categories: Blog Recaps and Roundups|Tags: Beauty and the Beast, Broadway, Colorado, Denver, Denver Flea, Disney, Game of Thrones, OITNB, reading list, watchlist|0 Comments

I mostly stuck to local activities this month. I went and saw the broadway show Beauty and the Beast. The costumes and songs were well done, but the jokes were a bit jarring. I forgot that it was mostly aimed at children, so the jokes had to be explained very clearly so the kids could get it. But it was still fun. I also went to the Denver Flea with my friend Roma. We went last year, but this year it was so much bigger! It was a hot but fun day. I ended up getting some Hibiscus drink mixer and tangerine-rosemary lotion.

Its finally the start of summer! This month was also fun that my company Wayin acquired another company (Engage Sciences) and so its been great to meet all my new co-workers! Travel Santa Fe, NM This month I went on a quick road trip to Santa Fe, NM. I had been back in the 90's as a child, but didn't remember much of it. I didn't plan anything for this trip so I mainly just walked around the main square and shopped. It reminded me a lot like the square in Antigua, Guatemala, and I had fun shopping for rough

The month of April was a lot more low-key than March. I didn't travel anywhere this month, although I came very close to booking a trip to Jordan, but I decided to hold off until I can sort out some finances before I commit to anything. Recommended Reading Lili on the Loose A lot of my favorite posts this month are heavy in photography. Gondola Ride in Venice, Italy - This was a fun New Years Day, where it was rainy and snowy so no one else was out on the water. Cold and Magical. Philae: the Temple on the

Some of my favorite Travel Bloggers do a monthly re-cap of what occurred in the last month. True to form (I fell in love with this blog due to their detailed expense reports) Living the Dream details out their income reports and business plans. Twenty-Something Travel always has some great blogs that they've read or written in other places. And Adventurous Kate gives a summary of everything she did and was up to over the course of the month. I had generally shied away from doing a monthly re-cap because I wasn't like those other bloggers where I was traveling

When traveling I love to research about the place I'll be going to. I usually will get a few travel guides, but I'll also read many blogs from other fellow travelers. I was sad to learn that Google's "Blog Search" functionality was discontinued, which made searching for the rare blog on Egypt so much harder to find. So to help future travelers here are some of the many blogs and other online resources I used in preparation for my trip to Egypt.

January Travel Blog Roundup

In my years of researching travel I’ve stumbled upon some great blogs to read. Here are some of my favorite posts from January! Travel Missteps Stories Nomadic Matt: How to Cope with Travel Mistakes (Because I Can’t Stop Making Them) I enjoy hearing about the mistakes that other travelers make, as they can be good learning experiences for others. Nomadic Matt is one of my favorite bloggers with lots of advice, and it is good to know that the “Pro” travel bloggers out there still run into the same issues that the rest of us have.
