New Orleans: Renaissance New Orleans Pere Marquette Hotel
One of my good friends recently finished medical school and is moving out of state for her residency so we wanted to plan a short trip as a sort of last hurrah. We had a few destinations in mind: New Orleans, Nashville, Seattle and Portland. We also knew it would probably be only a 3-day …

Mexico City: Bars

Mexico City: Flying Aeromexico
A little less than two weeks ago, I spent 3 days in Mexico City, Mexico for a friend's 30th birthday trip.

Seoul: L7 Myeongdong
After an early morning flight from Haneda Airport in Tokyo to Gimpo Airport in Seoul, I checked into L7 Myeongdong. This is actually my second stay at the L7 Myeongdong located in the Myeongdong area of Seoul (probably obvious from the hotel name). On previous trips I have stayed in Gangnam but found myself spending …
