2020 has been a year for me, just as it’s been a year for everyone else. I had a lot of high expectations for 2020. It was my first full year in the UK with my husband, with lots of plans of where we were going to travel in the European and Northern African region. But covid-19 hit. My husband essentially had to evacuate from … Continue reading Alisha moves back to San Francisco
Just like everyone in the world, the onset and spread of Coronavirus- (covid-19) disrupted my way of life. No longer was I traveling at least once a month.

Fiance and I took a quick weekend trip to Amsterdam. It was a nice quick getaway, that also had….”fun” weather. Haha. There was a storm that came from the Atlantic that rocked London and Amsterdam pretty bad the entire weekend. There were moments were we just went inside a store just to be out of the rain and heavy wind. It was rough. We stayed … Continue reading Alisha Explores Amsterdam

Switzerland An expensive place But a beautiful place I went to Switzerland for work, as half of my team is based out of the city of Luzern (or Lucerne depending on what map you look at). I took advantage of my weeklong trip to Luzern by going early and staying late. I arrived in Zurich on a Sunday morning, and the snow was starting to … Continue reading Alisha Explores Luzern and Zurich

This month, Fiance and I went to a new country and new city: Vientiane, Laos. Why Laos? Why Vientiane? Well, pretty easy answer. We had gone to most of South East Asia and wanted to go somewhere new. So Laos seemed like something good. As well, Vientiane was a very short and cheap flight from Shanghai. So, we booked it while in a brewery in … Continue reading Alisha Explores Vientiane
The Merlion City Fiance and I decided to head out to Singapore for a short weekend trip. It’s one of those places that both of us have wanted to go to, but it’s one of those places where there’s not much to do to really validate a long vacation there (think Dubai). We took a red eye flight from Shanghai and landed in Singapore about … Continue reading Alisha Explores Singapore
