How to Spend a Day on Bainbridge Island

One of the best aspects of Seattle is its access to neighboring islands by ferry, one being Bainbridge Island. With just a 35 minute ride, you will be carried away to a very quaint island. The ride itself cost me under $10, roundtrip.

Making the Most of Seattle’s Food Scene

Coming from New York, I find it hard to find places with comparable food scenes in terms of quality and variety. Seattle is surely one of those places!

Maximizing Three Days in the Seattle Area

I’ve always been intrigued to go to Seattle, Washington. Having had a few people ask me why, I had to really think about it. Seeing Pikes Public Market and the Space Needle in pictures always caught my eye. Also, being the lover of Starbucks that I am, I wanted to see the first one. I also think that it being a central location in the West Coast (a place that I have not ventured to often) was one of the reasons that inspired me to visit. Oddly enough, my original plan was to do a National Parks tour during Thanksgiving Break. However, that tour was cancelled after I booked my airplane ticket.
