New Hampshire for All Seasons
New Hampshire is a Northeastern state in US and is considered a part of the New England region. Surrounded by natural beauty and wilderness, NH is known for the White Mountain National Forest and numerous state parks. It’s a preferred location for winter sports, wildlife sightings, camping, scenic byways and other recreational outdoor activities during all four seasons. I love their state motto ‘Live Free or Die’ and feel a strong affinity to this philosophy. Added bonus: New Hampshire is one of the only five states in the country that doesn’t impose a sales tax on shopping. While you may find a ton of things to do in this gorgeous…

Top 10 things to do in Montréal
Montreal, the largest city in Quebec province of Canada is located only 325 miles away from Boston. I have been fortunate to visit the city on multiple occasions and have friends living locally show me around.

The Ultimate Itinerary – Short Trip to Paris
Known as the City of Light, Paris is one city which has been widely written about. We have all romanticized Paris at some or other level partly due to the way it is portrayed in movies and books. However, when I visited Paris, it was nothing like I had imagined. It was’t the charming city of love I envisioned but a big bad-ass city just like London, NYC, Bangkok or Singapore. It was overwhelming to the senses, a delight on it’s own. First things first. Buy the The Paris Transport travel card for unlimited travel on the bus, metro, tramway and RER networks. For the most part, we used the trains for…

4 Days in San Juan, Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico was always one of my dream destinations in the United States (Others in the list include Hawaii & Alaska). I was enamored by what I had seen in music videos and documentaries. So when we had a week off during the holidays in December, we booked our trip to Puerto Rico. While the flight tickets from the continental US could get really expensive during winters, we traveled on Christmas eve to save some money and returned before the New Year’s eve. We were a group of 6 people and booked an AirBnB in San Juan which fit our budget. While Puerto Rico is a territory of the United…

One Stop Guide To New York City
I feel great pleasure in finally writing about my favorite city ever. Having visited New York City more times than I can remember, I have never seen such a culturally diverse crowd anywhere in the world. The spirits of this city never seem to dim. The chaos is not bothersome, in fact it does it’s magic and sways you along making you fall in love with the city even more. I could spend a day or a week or a month or even more exploring the concrete jungle and yet be asking for more. That’s the beauty of it. There is always someplace new to visit, you just cannot get…

3 days in Quebec City
Only 397 miles from Boston, Québec city is the capital of the Canadian province of Québec. The city is known for its rich history, cobblestone streets, European architecture and fortifications. We drove there from Boston during a May long weekend. It took us 8 hours including the breaks and the time spent on border crossing. After checking into our hotel around midnight, we decided to fulfill our Poutine cravings and found this hole in the wall restaurant at walking distance. We weren’t disappointed and happily went to bed excited about exploring Quebec city the morning after. Fairmont Le Château Frontenac We started our day with a visit to Château Frontenac. An…
