A dose of wandlerlust.

The first-ever vertical forest. Amazing.

A little Coppola compilation video.

Must-watch this Australian ad.

Old but good: Mindy Kaling on chick flicks.

The world’s most spectacular roads. [Lucky to have driven three: Milford Road, Great Ocean Road, and Pacific Coast Highway.]

Hello Again, Boston.

Posted on December 25, 2011 by

I’m back to La Vie Boston both geographically and blog-wise. Two days ago, my four-month-long stay in Australia and New Zealand sadly came to a close. My time there was a whirlwind of new friends, sturdy backpacks, good food, stunning beaches, and heaps of stories to bring back to my Boston life.

This blog is long overdue for an update.
