Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, I’ve not been traveling at all so that makes writing about travel somewhat difficult.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’ve missed traveling.

Travel Snacks That Are Good For You: Yes Cacao

by Marian Krueger, in category Product Reviews

If you’re like me, then packing for a trip doesn’t involve packing only clothes. As a vegan, I can’t always anticipate that I can find something to eat at the airport, on a plane, or even at my final destination. So packing a few travel snacks isn’t a luxury, but a necessity.

by Marian Krueger, in category Asia
Exploring the Philippines

It’s time for me to pack my bag and get out and begin exploring the Philippines. That means heading out on a few buses for many hours to get out of the city and into the countryside. Although I didn’t take one bus from point A to point B, there are buses that go direct… Read More
