Writer. Wanderluster. Angeleno. Wife. Vegetarian. Thirtysomething, which is so weird.
I’m a digital media writer, editor, and reporter based in Los Angeles. I recently-ish married a fellow native and we love our city and restoring our new-to-us 1936 Spanish-style home, within which we cozily anthropomorphize our cats. Sporadically festive. Selectively lazy.

Find me:
- voraciously consuming news and social media.
- adapting recipes to their vegetarian and low-fat equivalents, with varying levels of success.
- wearing pajamas.
- hiking.
- lapping up the (often free) riches of Los Angeles and its environs.
- researching the hell out of international vacations and justifying them in elaborate ways to my husband and self.
- obsessively planning and executing those trips as often as possible.
This blog is about home, travel, and Los Angeles lifestyle.
I’m Alesandra Dubin, but I go by Alice. Holler at me if you have something nice to say, because I’m sensitive: info@homebodyinmotion.com.

Greetings and Thank you Alice Since I just happen to be in the middle of doing as you do- quote-” researching the hell out of international vacations justifying in elaborate ways to my husband and myself” end quote– (!) I was fortunate and somehow— bound to find you! I had earlier made a reservation for Neorion Hotel in Istanbul and was glad to come upon your positive review. Endless choices for Istanbul hotels and all that… We will be in Istanbul 3 days Oct 31-Nov 3. Therefore–any special eateries you would like to suggest since you have been there and done that?! I appreciate your time! You can understand why my research has only just begun and with 7 months to go–I am running out of time.
I am not the same for having seen the moon on the other side of the world and I have not been everywhere yet but it is on my list. Mary
Thanks, Mary
Hi Mary!
I’m very excited for your trip. I hope you have a wonderful journey, and fun months of anticipation leading up — isn’t that part of the joy of travel? I hope you’ll enjoy the Neorion as we did. As far as restaurants, here’s one place walking distance (or easy public transit) away from the hotel that we enjoyed for its spectacular views:

Bon voyage!
