Three Weeks in Northern India
I spent many months planning an itinerary, booking trains and hotels, and generally trying to perfect my three-week trip to North India. I wanted to fit in as much as I could, without losing any quality time in the cities and towns I would visit. India, being so huge, inspiring and diverse, is not a…
Coastal Spain in San Sebastian
Last month I made a trip to San Sebastian, Spain – an area known to locals as Donostia. Situated in the Basque region with the most beautiful coastal setting, I couldn’t imagine a better place to be sent for work. Amazing weather, magnificent coastal views, and fresh local produce made this city heaven for a…
Honeymoon in the Cotswolds
After my husband and I were married in Wales in May, we left on a European travel adventure throughout England, Ireland, Italy and Paris. It was a dream of a honeymoon and a trip we will treasure forever. The first stop on our adventure was the English Cotswolds, one of my favorite places on Earth.…
Vienna in the Winter
Vienna is a grand, majestic city, with a slight feeling of emptiness. To me it speaks of a city once at the very height of Western civilization; now still stunningly beautiful but holding an atmosphere of grander days gone by. To convey this feeling I decided to portray Vienna in black and white. Vienna was…
A Warm Weekend in Miami Beach
By the time March rolls around in New York City, I’m always craving warm weather. The calendar says that spring is around the corner, but the chilly temps always prove otherwise. Last March, when my husband and I had enough of the extended winter in New York, we decided to book a quick, three-day trip…
Walking the Streets of Amsterdam
Amsterdam has always been on my list of places to visit. When a band I’d wanted to see was playing live in the city, a friend and I decided it was finally time to make the trip! The city was just as beautiful as I had imagined and full of pretty bridges crossing the many…
Honeymooning in Singapore and Langkawi
A few days after our wedding weekend we jetted off for a four-night stay in Singapore, our first honeymoon destination. We wanted our first stop to be a city break and, having visited Singapore a few years prior, we knew it would be a great pit stop to unwind from the whirlwind of the wedding.…
A Local’s Guide to Seattle
After moving to Seattle just over two years ago from Florida, I felt like I was in a new world of year-around activities. The weather is mild — Florida-like thunderstorms are incredibly rare. You can always throw on a jacket and head to the mountains, the water, a plethora of tourist sites, and, of course,…
Wine Tour of France’s Rhone Valley
I love wine and I’ve been a big fan of the Rhone Valley wines since my Aunt introduced me to a Crozes Hermitage. I’ve wanted to visit the beautiful hills that produced this wine for a few years now and I’m so happy that we did. Wine tasting in France is much different from in…
A Swiss Adventure
We began our Swiss adventure in Lucerne, an old, traditional town in the north, towards Germany. We loved our ironically ultra-modern accommodations at Hotel LeStelle, just near the square in Old Town Lucerne. Highlights of our time in the city included walks along the water, the “best sandwich in Switzerland” from Twiny Station, sunrises and…
Exploring the Islands of Venice
We began our trip to Venice in the tiny little village of Malamocco on the island of Lido di Venezia. It’s an unusual destination when traveling to the area, but it’s well worth a visit. The town has ancient origins and, before the foundation of Venice, was chosen as capital of the Venetian State. Venezia…
