A Travel Blog
I had a conversation with a good friend of mine the other day about 2016. In short terms, this year has been an enormous struggle. Between the presidential campaign and election in the US, Brexit, part of my neighborhood blowing up (my bagel shop literally got wiped off the face… Read more
I had another post for today, but to be honest, after our elections in the US overnight, I couldn’t just post something arbitrary about beautiful Fall leaves in New England. I promise I’ll get back to regular posts tomorrow but I couldn’t go without saying anything here in my space… Read more
Nick and I will have been married 6 years this weekend and while in some ways it seems like our wedding day was just yesterday, other times it feels like a lifetime ago! Over the past 6 years, we’ve traveled frequently, seen 6 continents together, visited and explored countless countries… Read more
I turn 30 tomorrow. And as with any big milestone, I’ve spent a lot of time in the preceding days to this birthday thinking about what turning 30 actually means to me. Some people hate getting older, some people dread milestone birthdays. For me, I’m actually really excited to be 30…. Read more
As I gear up to my 30th birthday this Saturday, I’ve spent a lot of time lately contemplating what turning 30 actually means to me. And part of that means thinking about everything I’ve learned, everything I’ve seen and everything I’ve done. A big part of my life is travel… Read more
As I sat writing this, I was staring out the window watching the sun set over the Pacific on our way to Hawaii last week. And as the pastel colors set across the sky, high above fluffy white clouds I sat quietly thinking about how peaceful the world seems from… Read more
In a quick break from Europe posts, today is a special day that I can’t let go by on the blog without acknowledging. Today is Nick’s 30th birthday and when I think about that milestone in his life, and in my own, I can’t help but be amazed that we’re… Read more
I got to thinking a while back, even though I love so much about travel, why is it that while my life keeps getting busier, with more responsibilities and it’s getting harder and harder to take the time off to travel…why do I continue to travel? Sometimes it seems like… Read more
I had another post scheduled for today, and then the attacks in Brussels happened. Another series of tragic and completely unnecessary tragedies, another group of people injured or killed in a horrific event. And on top of that, even though the Western media hasn’t been covering it like those acts… Read more
First off, thank you so much for all your support and kind words on my post last week about taking a small break. I powered through last week, got everything done and caught up on sleep and I’m back, and so happy to be back talking all about our trip… Read more
While I had anticipated continuing on with my New Zealand posts this week, life had other plans for me this weekend. I try really hard to make sure that I post five times a week and that I’m offering real and genuine travel tips and information for my readers here… Read more
Not long ago I came across this quote, “Travel does not exist without home…if we never return to the place we started, we would just be wandering. Home is a reflecting surface, a place to measure our growth and enrich us after being infused with the outside world.” – Josh… Read more
I hardly ever post on Saturdays but in light of the horrific attacks on Paris yesterday, I felt the need to write at least something here. If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you’ll know that I adore Paris. Paris for me is something of a second… Read more
Today Nick and I have been married for five years. Five years of pure joy, exotic adventures, emotional highs and lows, separation and spending every minute together. We’ve weathered our fair share of storms in our first five years of marriage and ten years together and while you won’t hear… Read more
Today I turn 29. Today I enter the last year of my twenties. Today I leave behind one of the hardest years of my life, if not the hardest I’ve ever experienced. Today I move past all that 28 brought, good and bad, and embrace a new year ahead. As… Read more
