If you ever find yourself in Pensacola, Florida, you will be pleasantly surprised. Not only by their white sandy beaches and their southern hospitality, but also by the variety for us green eaters ; ) For a light meal, I stopped at the End of the Line Cafe. It was a vegan coffee house and [...]

How I Love Mount Zion…

ART(Zion)300

Let me count the ways!! Zion National Park is nothing short of breathtaking. The Virgin River running through it, the greenery and the majestic canyons were enough to make me want to pack up my city life and move to a ranch just outside the gates; ) The Zha Zha of Zion! We arrived fairly [...]

Passing Through Lake Powell

IMG_6967

Pulling into Page was a bit confusing as the town seemed to have a bit of an identity crisis. Some businesses said we were in Page and some in Lake Powell. And some had both!! Either way, we were pleasantly surprised with what Page/Lake Powell had to offer a few drifters like us. We were [...]

A quick one day trip before we headed to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, we rolled into Sedona and it’s neighboring ghost town, Jerome. One of the most beautiful and grounding spots in the country, Sedona is famous for its red rock formations and natural beauty. Known for its spiritual energy, fabulous spas [...]

Health Friendly Flagstaff

Finagling Fast Food

So, there are times where despite our best efforts, our only options just might be fast food. On a road trip or in a podunk town with little to zero options for a healthy meal, I’ve found ways to navigate the fast food menu. I do not, I repeat, do not, advocate the consumption of [...]

IMG_1052

Growing up in South Florida, Cuban food was my vice (even though I’m Colombian). When I go home, it still is even though I have found some pretty good Cuban fare here in town to quench my fix. But in LA, Mexican is the way to go because nothing beats killer guac and a big [...]

Los Angeles On The Go

One of the coolest things about living in LA is the access to unique services and just plain old cool stuff. People visiting LA normally hit up tourist spots and restaurants mentioned in their guide books. But to really experience LA, it’s best to follow the advice of a local, as they’ve got the skinny [...]
