Around The World in 1 Week: Arriving Frankfurt

After 11 hours, my coworker – Zoya – and I arrived in Frankfurt. We were a bit bleary eyed and certainly tired. But it was a fantastic journey. I spent most of the flight reading Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises” and learning about the Lost Generation. Frankfurt was first mentioned in text in 794. The […]

24 Hours in Los Angeles

Today I took a 24 hour road trip to Los Angeles. It was pretty liberating. My new car, my dog Max, and 12 hours of driving. I grabbed lunch with some friends in Santa Monica and then went back to San Francisco. Road tripping is an American cultural tradition and the I-5 is my favorite ribbon […]

7 DAYS IN GERMANY: MIDNIGHT CABARET

There almost is a cliche in seeing cabaret in Berlin. I honestly did not want to go. But Red wanted to go, and therefore I wanted to go. We took a cab across the city and this experience ended up being one of my top ten life experiences. At the CHAMALEON Theater, we saw a […]

My towncar to East Berlin took me past the city’s landmarks. Soho Haus Berlin used to be a former Nazi headquarters. The original building […]
