Be prepared to be transported through time to Medieval Germany. . . . After two and a half days in the Bavarian Capital, we were ready to start the second leg of our journey through Germany. We jumped on the train and headed for Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a charming fairytale town come to life … Continue reading Fairytales exist in Rothenburg
And yes, there's more than just Oktoberfest. You may recall that Devin, Marissa, and I spent a week in Germany last fall. Whether you kept up with our travels on Instagram or not, I'm sure it's no surprise to anybody familiar with The Dana Diaries that I'm only JUST getting around to writing about our … Continue reading München Must-dos
Ah, Kyoto. Japan’s third largest city - and it's oldest. Rich in traditional Japanese culture, Kyoto is undoubtedly an experience unlike any other. It's a special place where the modern and ancient worlds appear to seamlessly merge. For instance: I loved how I went to a super sleek restaurant in the center of … Continue reading Japan’s Imperial Capital
We knew we wanted to kick our Japan trip with an extended stay in Tokyo, and research brought us to our second destination, Hakone. Hakone (pronounced ha-kone-eh) was a unique experience. It's great for the adventure-seeking-mildly-outdoorsy-types. My style? Retrospectively speaking, probably not. But, hey, it's good to try new things, right? To put it in … Continue reading Where the hell is Hakone?

Ah, fall. PSL season. Halloween season. Pretty foliage season. Drink-more-beer-since-it's-football-season, season (lol JK I don't really do #sports.) Nonetheless, it's an exciting time, and as the season changes and I start to low-key long for a beach, I figured it was the most opportune time to finally get around to writing about my Bermuda trip! … Continue reading Travel Diaries: 3 days in Bermuda

LOL jk not sorry at all. As I finish up my Bermuda guide (ugh, take me back already!), I wanted to … Continue reading Turning up the heat in VICI
As I'm sure you've noticed, we've been back from the Turkish Turquoise Coast for quite some time now, yet I still haven't gotten around to finishing (cough, starting) my blog post about it! Well, being that I've finally found some time to chill out on a Sunday, I'm ready to tell gather my thoughts and … Continue reading #traveldiaries: Turkey 2018
Unleash your inner child and Run For The Wild! If you caught my Instagram stories this weekend, you probably noticed that Ben and I woke up at the crack of dawn (post Arriba Arriba + margaritas, I may add) to catch a Bronx bound 2 train. (See below if you missed them!) We were on … Continue reading WCS’ Run for the Wild 2018
I can't think of a better way to spend President's Day than by taking a quick trip to DC (unless there's a beach in Greece involved, because then I might reconsider.) Ben and I drove down to DC last Saturday for the long holiday weekend (lol jk I worked from my DC office on Monday, … Continue reading 48 hours in DC!
