I spend at least one weekend each month in/around London so this post will offer both things to see if it’s your first time in the city and more local spots as well as some weekend/day trips & getaways. First things first, Sightseeing Start at Buckingham Palace (home of the queen) then start walking towards […]
The Camino de Santiago {with shameless cheats} in 28 days.
Day Trips from Alicante The city of Alicante itself has a lot to offer but you’d be missing out if you didn’t wander a little further along the coast. These are some of the best destinations – all easy to see in one day. Altea Altea is about an hour and a half from Alicante […]
This year I’m living in Alicante, Spain. The foodie in me invites the foodie in you to explore my current home: the coastal city of Alicante, Valencia, Spain. Here’s a curated list of my favorite spots (and more). Alicante Finds Best spots to Brunch: Sip & wonder and Mish Mish take the cake (and serve […]
Prague is probably my top recommendation for anyone’s first glimpse of Europe. Its beauty is on par with Paris and Florence but it still lends a sense of discovery since the tourists haven’t yet covered every corner (expect more in the Christmas market season/summer). Statues you’d usually find in museums can be found in every […]
I traveled to Albania to attend my friend Arta’s yoga retreat. The retreat took place in Berat but there is no airport there so I flew into the Tirana airport the night before and intended to take a bus to Berat from there. Upon arrival I learned that: A) there is no tourist information desk […]
It’s my third winter in Europe and finally time to explore some nearby skiing. This weekend we opted for the Dolomites in Trentino, N. Italy. A 2.5 hour drive from BGY airport, Vale di Sole and Madonna di Campiglio did not disappoint! We stayed at a very cute and cozy Jägerhaus B&B in the village […]
A week of exploration and grounding, this retreat is designed to balance the exciting experience of international travel with a foundational morning and evening “flow” (yoga/pilates/barre) practice to frame the days with self care.
My Iceland Stopover In Real Life I had an image of the island in my mind. I’d heard about the remote natural wonders which friends explored via camper van. I pictured wilderness, expansive and pristine, dotted with waterfalls and framed by glacial peaks. As our plane began its descent through a thick blanket of clouds, […]
Paris night one started at FORMATICUS cheese bar around the corner from our Airbnb in Batignolles with the most delicious variety of goat, cow and sheep’s milk cheeses for dinner street side. Next we climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe around 9:45 to catch the end of the sunset and see the […]
Holland/The Netherlands was immediately lovable to me. I got a sense of kindness and curiosity from the locals I met in a gas station, on the bus, walking on the street… friends told me good things about Amsterdam and it sure didn’t disappoint! Tip number one: grab a giant bar of Tony’s chocolate. This company […]
Two friends and I did a long weekend in Sicily (Sicilia “Seesheelia”) and it exceeded expectations! This part of Italy is definitely worth going (or returning) to. Two options for flights: Palermo or Catania. We went for the latter. My experience was in the Southeastern part of the Island. We rented a car from the […]
