When I started this channel, I didn’t know where this journey would take me. I just wanted to find a community of people who share the same love for luxury travel, lifestyle, and fashion, and to create a space where I could express that creatively. Growth was always a hope, but never the priority.
So to celebrate this milestone, I wanted something meaningful and something that represents everything this channel stands for. This one-of-a-kind customized Longchamp Le Pliage does exactly that. From my channel name, to hitting 500 subscribers, to my word of the year "fearless".
This piece is so special to me, and I’m so excited to share that it’s also a collaboration with Dee Dee Bean (@DeeDee_Bean) who helped bring this vision to life. She has a fabulous collection that I can only dream about having one day. But even more importantly, she's a warm, authentic, and kind person and I can't wait to see how she has celebrated her YouTube milestones.
To everyone who’s supported me, every subscriber, every like, every comment, thank YOU. It truly means the world, and I couldn’t have done this without you.
Here’s to being fearless and to many more milestones ahead!

As always, Safe Travels!Escaping NYC for a Family Weekend in Lake Luzerne, Food, Birthday, Games & ReflectionTraveling Gay Panda2026-09-25 | Welcome to the first FALL DIARIES VLOG of 2026!
For my mom's 70th birthday, we cleared our schedules and spent an entire weekend together.
We escaped New York City to Lake Luzerne near Lake George, in upstate New York, where we stayed together in a cozy lakeside cabin and basically went back to being kids again.
Growing up, my family used to road trip everywhere. We'd spend holidays crammed into tiny hotel rooms, sometimes sharing the same bed, and somehow those chaotic little trips became some of my favorite memories. As we got older, though, life happened so for my mom's 70th birthday, we made it happen. It was EXACTLY the kind of weekend I didn't realize I needed.
There was a lot of Filipino food, mahjong, board games, kayaking, paddle boarding, water sports, and even a railway biking adventure. We also took a little trip to Saratoga Springs for food, tea, and some vintage bag shopping because apparently I cannot go anywhere without looking at a handbag. 😂
But somewhere between all the family chaos and the quiet moments on the lake, I found myself thinking about something I don't give myself enough time to do in New York City: reflection.
Living in NYC can be incredible, but there's stimulation everywhere. Your calendar fills up, you're constantly moving, and there's always something else to do. Sometimes it's difficult to stop and ask yourself: Where am I in my life? Am I happy with where my career is going? What do I want next? How am I doing financially? How are my relationships?
One morning, I took a kayak out onto the lake by myself and just sat there looking out at the forest and the water. No notifications, schedule, or city noise. It was just me and my thoughts.
It ended up being a surprisingly reflective birthday weekend, not only because my mom was turning 70, but because getting older has made me think about birthdays differently too. They're not just about cakes, gifts, and another year passing. Sometimes they're little milestones that remind us to check in with ourselves and see where we actually are.
So this is a little different from my usual bag-heavy videos, but I hope you'll come along for the ride. This is Traveling Gay Panda outside of the handbags.
If you're new here, subscribe and come hang out for the next chapter. We're SO close to 1,000 subscribers, and getting there with this little community would mean so much to me.
Thanks for spending the weekend with us.
Tara Lets.

As always, Safe Travels!My Rare Designer Bags, Tennis Milestones & the Perfect NYC Summer Day | Summer DiariesTraveling Gay Panda2026-09-20 | Welcome to the last Summer Diaries Vlog for 2026! For the last summer vlog of the year, I managed to combine A LOT of my favorite things: tennis, designer bag tag, Dior Beauty unboxings, vintage bag shopping, and wandering around New York City with my favorite person.
First up - a LOT of tennis. I’ve been having way more fun with tennis lately, and things are finally starting to click. I somehow manage to beat the #1 player in my tennis ladder group (!!!), which means I’m moving up the ladder rankings. I am still very much a recreational player figuring things out as I go, but watching myself improve has been SO much fun.
After all that tennis, I desperately needed a break. So I take some time to unbox some Dior beauty, then my partner and I have what might be the perfect relaxed New York City summer day. We wander around Manhattan, check out some shops and hotels, spend some time in Central Park, eat a very good burger, and of course do some shopping at a vintage boutique.
And finally, I tackle another Bag Tag! @CalebSnell was kind enough to tag me in The Rarest Bags in My Collection Bag Tag so I dig through my collection and share some of the bags that feel especially rare, unusual, or difficult to come across today.
Spoiler alert, the bags I talk about include my Fendi 2Jours Monster Bag, Chanel Eco Bag, and my Delvaux Le Pin Lunar New Year bag.
I'd also like to tag some amazing creators with fabulous bag collections: zeusdiary (sorry but for some reason, I can't tag you but please do this tag 😊), @Smilingcats_couture , @NothingButBags , @totesgene , @lings.prettylilthings , @Hazelhopes .
If you're new here, hi! 👋 I'm the Traveling Gay Panda, and this channel is basically where travel, tennis, fashion, luxury bags, NYC life, and figuring out adulthood as I go all collide. It's a little random, but hopefully in the best possible way.
And we're getting VERY close to 1,000 subscribers! If you've been enjoying these videos, subscribing would genuinely mean a lot and would help me reach that milestone.
Tell me in the comments: What is the rarest or hardest-to-find bag in YOUR collection?
Thanks for hanging out with me.

In this video, I’m taking a deep dive into everything you’d want to know before buying this bag. From the dimensions, leather, craftsmanship and construction to what actually fits inside and how practical it is as an everyday bag.
I’ll also show you multiple ways to wear the Loewe Flamenco Purse Tote, including mod shots, so you can see how it looks on an actual person and how versatile the silhouette really is. After months of use, I'll go through my pros and cons.

If you’re considering buying the Loewe Flamenco Purse Tote, hopefully this gives you a realistic look at what it’s actually like to own and use.

As always, Safe Travels!SUMMER DIARIES IN NYC - US OPEN, GIVEAWAY UNBOXING, KITH UNBOXING & MY SOCIAL ANXIETYTraveling Gay Panda2026-09-08 | Summer in New York City is winding down, so I’m squeezing in a little more fun before we officially say goodbye to the season!
In this episode of my Summer Diaries, we’re going to the U.S. Open, catching up with friends, unboxing a YouTube giveaway prize that I won from @lings.prettylilthings (my luck apparently decided to show up this summer), opening a new pair of shoes from Kith, and sharing my struggles with social anxiety.
To be honest, this is a bit of a filler episode but I hope you enjoy regardless. And I hope your summer has been amazing. Thanks for watching!

As always, Safe Travels!I Bought a $35 Leather Bag from Tanner Leatherstein - Atelier Pegai Poset Unboxing + ReviewTraveling Gay Panda2026-09-04 | This week’s vlog is mostly about a bag. But not exactly the kind of bag you usually see me talking about.
I unbox Atelier Pegai Poset bags from Tanner Leatherstein. Yes. THAT Tanner Leatherstein! The leather expert and content creator known for literally cutting open luxury handbags to see what’s actually going on underneath all that designer branding.
What caught my attention about Pegai is the idea behind the Poset. Instead of treating leather like this ultra-luxurious material that automatically means a bag should cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, Tanner is using leftover and difficult-to-sell leathers from tanneries and turning them into something incredibly simple and practical: a leather shopper tote for $30–$35.
That honestly made me stop and think. We’ve gotten so accustomed to seeing leather handbags cost hundreds, thousands, and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars that it’s easy to forget that leather itself isn’t necessarily a luxury product. So I was really curious to see what happens when you take leather, strip away the luxury branding and complicated construction, and turn it into something as ordinary as a grocery bag.
I chose the mystery box option, which meant I had absolutely no idea what leather I was going to receive. And, let's just say there were a few surprises.
In this vlog, I’m unboxing all three of my Pegai Poset bags, talking about the leather and construction, actually putting them to use, and testing whether a leather shopper tote makes sense as an everyday grocery bag.
And because this is still a Summer Diaries vlog, there’s plenty of tennis, summer life, and me rambling about where I’m at in my summer so far.

As always, Safe Travels!August Favorites - End of Summer, Tennis & Bags I Couldnt Stop Carrying, Candles, FashionTraveling Gay Panda2026-08-31 | Somehow, summer came and went at the speed of light. One minute I was getting excited for warmer weather and making summer plans, and now we’re already hitting that point where the days are getting a little shorter, the heat is finally backing off, and I’m reluctantly accepting that summer is on its way out.
So, before we completely move on to fall, let’s talk about my August favorites.
Favorite Scent — Diptyque Beverly Hills Candle Diptyque’s Beverly Hills City Exclusive has become my perfect end of summer scent. It has that fresh, slightly warm, clean feeling that reminds me of summer without smelling like I’m desperately trying to hold onto it. It feels like those last golden days of August when summer is still here, but you can tell it’s slowly winding down.
Favorite Accessory — Owala Water Bottle The Owala Water Bottle has officially become one of those things I wonder how I lived without. It’s practical, easy to carry, keeps me hydrated, and the drinking mechanism is actually SO much more useful than I expected. Sleek, simple and incredibly efficient.
Favorite Travel — Washington, DC I had such a fun time in Washington, DC this summer. It’s one of those cities that somehow manages to feel youthful and energetic while also being surrounded by so much history. And, of course, getting to watch a whole lot of tennis made the trip even better. Because apparently I can turn almost any vacation into a tennis vacation.
Favorite Fashion — Polo Ralph Lauren Wimbledon Sunglasses These sunglasses immediately won me over, but the best part is a tiny detail you might not notice at first. Hidden along the top is the inscription “Game. Set. Match.” As someone who loves tennis, that little detail was basically all it took to convince me I needed them.
Favorite Beauty — Beauty of Joseon Sunscreen This has been getting plenty of use all summer. It’s lightweight, easy to wear, and has become one of those products that has multiple purposes. It's hydrating and sun protecting (SPF 50!)
Favorite Bags — Aranaz Raffia Tote + Bottega Veneta Virgule The first is a raffia tote from Aranaz, a Filipino-based brand. It's basically summer in bag form. Lightweight, casual, easy to throw things into, and perfect for those hot-weather days when you want something that feels a little more fun.
And then there’s the Bottega Veneta Virgule which I apparently decided needed to accompany me on a recovery 17-mile walk through Manhattan. Yes, you read that correctly. Seventeen miles. Somehow, the bag survived. I survived. My feet? Questionable.
Thanks for hanging out with me, and let me know what some of your August favorites were!

As always, Safe Travels!Radley Closing Sale Haul - Bag UnboxingTraveling Gay Panda2026-08-26 | Not much of a Summer Vlog today. I've been resting my body from too much Tennis so my focus has been on recovery lately in preparation for the finals (fingers crossed). So what do I do when I'm resting? Well, you already know.
I may have done a little shopping.
Welcome to a good old-fashioned handbag unboxing and haul! This time, we're talking about Radley London, the London-based handbag and accessories brand. If you've been looking for an excuse to check them out, this might be it because Radley is closing down and shutting its doors, and they've been having a HUGE closing down sale.
When I placed my order, a lot of the bags were up to 60% off and since then I've seen the sale reach up to 70% off.
But, instead of buying the things I'd normally gravitate towards, I looked at my existing handbag collection and asked myself, "What am I actually missing?"
And I ended up finding three bags that fill some pretty specific holes in my closet: A staple work bag, my first suede handbag, my first Boston/doctor's-style bag.

As always, Safe Travels!Walking the Length of Manhattan - Broad City ChallengeTraveling Gay Panda2026-08-22 | Welcome back to another Summer Diaries Vlog!
Today’s episode is a little different because I decided to spend several hours doing something that sounded way more fun and romantic in my head than it actually was. I did the Broad City Challenge which is walking the entire length of Manhattan from the tippity top of Inwood all the way down to Battery Park.
Apparently, it's roughly 14–16 miles and most people seem to finish it in around four to five hours.
Me? 18 miles and 6.5 hours!
I've seen people describe this walk as this beautiful, leisurely New York adventure as they stroll through different neighborhoods, stopping for a glass of wine, taking cute photos along the West Side, casually enjoying the city.
For me, it was more like panting, grunting, sweating. But honestly, despite the suffering, this ended up being such a fun way to experience New York.
I've lived in New York for years, but there were so many neighborhoods along the route that I had never really explored. Walking from the northern tip of Manhattan all the way to the southern tip gave me a completely different perspective on the city.
Come walk the entire length of Manhattan with me as I attempt the Broad City Challenge, discover parts of NYC I've never explored, and slowly turn into a sweaty, exhausted version of myself who is desperately searching for the finish line.
And if you enjoy travel vlogs, NYC adventures, fashion, food, tennis, and watching me make questionable decisions for content consider subscribing!

As always, Safe Travels!Summer Diaries - Tennis, Coach, & Fashion Chit Chat Luxury Hot Takes Tag by @JustOneMoreBag01Traveling Gay Panda2026-08-18 | Welcome back to another episode of my Summer Diaries!
This vlog is a little bit of everything because apparently I still haven't figured out how to make a video that stays on one topic for more than five minutes.
We’re starting with a little tennis, followed by some shopping at the Coach flagship store in Manhattan because apparently “just looking” is a dangerous activity when you're me. Then we’re grabbing some Filipino comfort food at Jollibee because sometimes what you really need after shopping is chickenjoy and spaghetti.
And then, of course, we have another episode of Salty Fashion & Luxury Chit-Chat.
This time, I was tagged by Mandy from @JustOneMoreBag01 who challenged us to share our luxury fashion opinions that could get us CANCELED.
So naturally, I had thoughts. Grab a snack and prepare yourself for some extremely unserious luxury fashion commentary.
And Mandy... if this gets me canceled, I'm sending you the bill. 😂

As always, Safe Travels!Summer Diaries - Luxury Fashion is NOT DEAD Fashion Chit Chat, Washington DC Tennis TournamentTraveling Gay Panda2026-08-12 | Welcome back to another Summer Diaries!
This summer, we made it a goal to turn the season into a summer of road trips, and this time we're hitting the road for not one, but TWO weekends in Washington DC!
The main reason for the trips? The Washington DC Mubadala Citi Open. Over the two weekends, we got to see Andy Murray, Kei Nishikori, Naomi Osaka, Jessica Pegula, Ben Shelton, Jack Draper, Lleyton Hewitt, Rafael Jodar, Cruz Hewitt, Venus Williams and so many other incredible players up close. But the biggest moment of the entire trip was watching one of my favorite young players, Alex Eala, make Philippine tennis history.
Spoiler Alert: Alex Eala WON THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT!!!
As a Filipino, getting to witness that moment in person was incredibly special. Being surrounded by other Filipinos in the stands, watching someone represent our country on such a big stage, was one of those travel memories that I'll never forget.
In the second half of the vlog, I get into a slightly salty fashion rant about one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to luxury content online: the never-ending "LUXURY IS DEAD" conversation.
Is luxury actually dead? Or are we just feeding the algorithm?
I have some thoughts.
This is very much a lighthearted fashion chit-chat, not a callout video, no drama. I genuinely enjoy watching other fashion and luxury content creators, and I love seeing different opinions and perspectives.
It's all in good fun, so please don't come for me—or, if you do, do it gently.
Leave your thoughts in the comments! I promise we're all friends here.

As always, Safe Travels!Summer Diaries - Nordstrom Shopping Vlog feat bags from Coach, Tory Burch, Mulberry, Chloe, ErdemTraveling Gay Panda2026-08-07 | Welcome back to another Summer Diaries vlog!
This week is a little mix of two of my favorite things: getting back on the tennis court and finally checking out the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
For years I'd hear everyone talking about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, only to realize I had missed it (again 😅). This year, I actually remembered ahead of time and made it my mission to see what all the hype was about especially in the handbag department.
I spent the afternoon browsing some beautiful bags from Chloé, Tory Burch, Coach, Veronica Beard, Staud, Mulberry, McQueen, Moschino, Erdem, and Dolce & Gabbana. I was surprised (in the best way!) to see Erdem represented since it's not a brand I usually come across.
That said, I have to admit I walked away a little underwhelmed. I was hoping for more exciting handbag deals, but there weren't many. Still, it was fun bag browsing, discovering brands I don't normally shop, and getting inspired for future wish lists.
What were your thoughts on this year's Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? Did you shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year?
As always, Safe Travels!July Favorites - Diptyque, Porto, Filigree Jewelry, Loewe Flamenco Purse Tote, Brahmin LoreleiTraveling Gay Panda2026-08-01 | Welcome back to another Monthly Favorites!
July has been one of my favorite months of the year, filled with travel, fashion discoveries, luxury bags, and little everyday moments that made this month feel extra special.
From a tropical luxury candle that perfectly captures the feeling of summer, to a Zara shirt that has completely renewed my love of fashion, these are my July Favorites. Speaking of fashion, I think I'm starting to realize who my style icons are. Take a few guesses and let me know in the comments below if you got it right.
I'm also talking about two bags that surprised me in completely different ways: the colorful Brahmin Lorelei shoulder bag and my versatile Loewe Flamenco Purse Tote.
Of course, no July recap would be complete without talking about one of my favorite places I visited this month: Porto, Portugal. From beautiful streets and incredible food to unforgettable sunsets, Porto continues to be one of my favorite European destinations.
As always, Safe Travels!Summer Diaries - Tennis, Porto Filigree Jewelry Unboxings, & Falling in Love with Fashion AgainTraveling Gay Panda2026-07-26 | After an amazing trip to Porto, Portugal, I'm back in New York and easing into a slower, more intentional weekend.
This vlog is a little bit of everything that makes me happy - starting with getting back on the tennis court before spending the weekend at the Newport Tennis Hall of Fame Tennis Tournament in Rhode Island. If you love tennis, travel, and weekend adventures, I think you'll enjoy coming along.
Back home, I finally unbox some long-awaited packages, including one of my favorite souvenirs from Portugal: beautiful handcrafted Portuguese filigree jewelry that reminds me of an unforgettable trip to Porto.
The biggest part of this vlog, though, is a conversation I've been wanting to have for a long time.
For years, I believed fashion wasn't "for me." After losing a significant amount of weight, I finally felt confident enough to experiment with clothes, colors, silhouettes, and luxury pieces I'd always admired. At first, I thought my renewed love of fashion was simply because of my weight loss. But over time, I realized something much more important.
My love of fashion shouldn't be tied to a number on the scale. It shouldn't depend on whether I've lost weight or reached some arbitrary BMI goal. Fashion is about self-expression, creativity, and the joy of wearing something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and excited to be yourself. My health journey gave me the confidence to start exploring personal style, but what keeps me passionate about fashion today is the freedom to experiment and have fun with it.
I hope this conversation resonates with anyone who's ever felt like they had to "earn" the right to wear the clothes they love.

As always, Safe Travels!Porto Portugal Travel Vlog - 3 Days in Porto | Livraria Lello, Porto Cathedral, Pasteis de NataTraveling Gay Panda2026-07-20 | Porto completely stole my heart. I spent 3 unforgettable days exploring Porto. The first two days with my friends from the Berks on their very first trip to Europe, followed by one full day of solo adventures. From iconic views and incredible food to breathtaking sunsets and hidden local gems, Porto has quickly become one of my favorite European cities.
Some highlights: - Porto Cathedral (Sé do Porto) - Port wine tasting at Sandeman - The magical Livraria Lello (one of the world's most beautiful bookstores) - The beautiful peacocks roaming the Crystal Palace Gardens (Palácio de Cristal) - Some of the most stunning sunsets in Portugal - Beautiful Portuguese filigree jewelry shopping at Joalharia do Carmo - Way too many pastel de nata (I definitely lost count!)

As always, Safe Travels!Summer Diaries - Pride Vlog, What I Wish I Could Tell My Younger Gay SelfTraveling Gay Panda2026-07-08 | SUMMER DIARIES | NYC Pride Weekend
This Summer Diaries vlog is a little different.
While you'll still find a few luxury unboxings and my usual love for fashion, travel, and beautiful things, this video is much more personal. As I spent Pride Weekend in New York City surrounded by so much love, joy, and community, I found myself reflecting on what Pride truly means to me—not just today, but growing up as a gay Asian man who often wondered if I belonged.
If there's one message I hope someone takes away from this video, it's this: There is no one way to be gay.
For a long time, I believed I didn't quite fit the image of what a gay man was "supposed" to be. I wasn't trying to be the life of every party. I wasn't interested in fitting every stereotype I saw in movies, TV, or even social media. I love fashion, but I also love anime, board games, video games, travel, fitness, quiet nights with close friends, and simply being myself.
Pride taught me that none of those things make me any more or less gay.
You don't have to fit into someone else's version of the LGBTQ+ community to belong. You don't have to earn your place by looking, acting, dressing, or living a certain way. Your story is enough. You are enough.
I hope that if someone watching this is still questioning where they fit, this video reminds them that authenticity will always matter more than stereotypes.
Thank you for being here, for supporting, and for allowing me to share a more vulnerable side of myself. I hope this conversation helps someone feel a little less alone.
Happy Pride. Be kind to yourself. Be proud of who you are. There has always been a place for you.

As always, Safe Travels!Summer Diaries - Las Vegas Vlog: Shopping and EatingTraveling Gay Panda2026-06-26 | We traveled to Las Vegas, aka Sin City, for our friend's 50th Birthday. I wouldn't say that Las Vegas is a destination I'd ever seek out - I'm not much of a gambler, I don't like the smell of smoke, and there's not much relaxation to be had. Nevertheless, we made the most of it and lost some money: the partner with gambling and me with shopping.
PS. This is mostly shopping and eating so if that's not your vibe, please feel free to skip this vlog out and I'll see you on the next one 😊.

As always, Safe Travels!Summer Diaries - My First Hyrox, Filipino Pride Parade NYC, Macys Shopping VlogTraveling Gay Panda2026-06-21 | Welcome to my first-ever Summer Diaries vlog in New York City!
This weekend was filled with moments that reminded me why it's so important to keep showing up for yourself, your community, and the things you love.
One of the biggest highlights was participating in my very first HYROX. Months of training, early mornings, sore muscles, and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone all led to this moment. Whether you're an athlete or just someone trying to become a healthier version of yourself, I hope this part of my journey inspires you to keep going. Crossing that finish line made me realize how much stronger I've become—not just physically, but mentally as well.
I also spent the weekend celebrating the NYC Philippine Independence Day Parade. As a proud Filipino, being surrounded by Filipino language, music, food, fashion, dance, and culture always feels like coming home. Seeing thousands of Filipinos gathering in the heart of New York City, halfway around the world from the Philippines, was incredibly moving and inspiring. It's a reminder that no matter where we are, our culture and community continue to thrive.
And of course, no NYC weekend would be complete without a little shopping! Come along as I browse Macy's and enjoy some retail therapy to end an unforgettable weekend.
Thanks for spending the weekend with me. Tara Let's!

As always, Safe Travels!Spring Diaries - random spring moments, Hyrox training, Kith, Bloomingdales, romanticizing NYC lifeTraveling Gay Panda2026-06-07 | Hi everyone 🐼!
In this Spring Diaries vlog, I’m sharing a compilation of little moments and memories from the past few weekends in NYC. Since coming back from Spain, I’ve been trying to slow down and romanticize my everyday life a little more. After over 10 years of living in New York City, hustle culture became so ingrained in me that weekends often felt like a checklist of things to do. But lately, I’ve been learning that choosing one special thing to enjoy in a day feels far more meaningful (and honestly, more relaxing) than trying to cram ten things into one weekend.
This vlog is all about finding beauty in the in-between moments and learning how to embrace a slower pace, even in the chaos of NYC.
Some highlights from this spring vlog include unboxing a limited edition Adidas Chinese New Year jacket, playing tennis and getting back on the court, HYROX training and fitness progress, eating my way around NYC and trying delicious spots, shopping at Kith and Bloomingdale’s and learning how to romanticize everyday life in New York City
If you’ve ever felt burnt out from constantly feeling like you need to do more, I hope this vlog inspires you to slow down and appreciate the small moments too.

As always, Safe Travels!Spring Diaries - Life in NYC Vlog, Williamsburg, Chinatown, Home Decor, CafeTraveling Gay Panda2026-05-03 | Welcome to another Spring Diaries - Life in NYC Vlog. We started the weekend with an intense Hyrox training class, followed by some vintage shopping in Williamsburg, and then a weekend of recovering from that insane workout 😅. Of course, we couldn't go through a whole weekend without a date night spot. We had dimsum at Ping's in Chinatown.
We've wanted to slowly decorate the apartment with our taste. When we moved in together 10 years ago, all of our things were hand-me downs or things that we've had since college! Now that we're adulting, we want to decorate and style the apartment with things that we both like and bought together. Blending our styles is harder than I thought it would be ... simply because I thought he would just acquiesce to whatever I liked. Boy was I wrong 😑
Enjoy our weekend shenanigans!

As always, Safe Travels!April Favorites - Diptyque, Loewe, JW Anderson x Uniqlo, Segovia SpainTraveling Gay Panda2026-04-30 | On this month’s Monthly Favorites, I’m sharing the pieces, places, and rituals that helped me transition into spring, starting with one of my favorite ways to unwind after a busy day in New York City: The Diptyque City Exclusive Beverly Hills candle. This has been my go-to reset that instantly brings calm and clarity into my space.
As always, travel is at the heart of everything I do. This month’s favorite destination is Segovia, Spain—a place that completely shifted my mindset. I haven’t shared the full vlog yet, so think of this as a sneak peek into our Spain vlog.
Of course, I’m also diving into fashion and accessories that defined my April. From my must-have travel essential - a phone holder that allows me to watch my movies handsfree - to a beautifully crafted custom ring from Filipino brand Styled By Hand that feels personal. I’ve also been loving a cropped polo top from JW Anderson x Uniqlo for that clean, modern, and easy look.
And to top it all off, my favorite bag of the month: the Loewe Puzzle Bag.
I hope you all had a great April. Share down below some of your favorite things in April!
