I don't like San Francisco as much as I like L.A., but is a much more manageable city to visit, and a lot more walkable. The ideal time to visit is the summer, when the weather is... More |
Mexico City is the biggest city I've ever been to, and the most alluring. Like other large Latin American cities, it's chaotic and can been intimidating. After all, New York is... More |
Washington is definitely a fun town. I think it's important not to expect too too much from it. There are a lot of monomaniacal people there, who only care about politics, and... More |
I spent six months in Paris in the fall of 2001. I lived in a rooming house (foyer) for young ladies. :) Most of the girls who lived there were between 18 and 20, but it was a... More |
Santa Monica is a great place to live and to visit, as far as most people are concerned. I've never been a huge fan. The city is a real escape from LA, which can be a good thing... More |

Valencia is the undiscovered seaside-city gem of Spain! So cheap! So much fun! And the paella is great, of course. I spent a month there in June-July 2005, studying Spanish. I... More |
New York City | Upper West Side | Apartment I lived on the Upper West Side last year. It’s the part of New York I know best, so I’ll focus my review there. The 1-2-3 Subway line and the M4, M104 and M11 are the best to get... More |
The best time to visit is probably their spring, September or October. Their winters are not too harsh, though, so don’t worry if you have to visit in July or August, but do bring... More |
