Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the Port of Barcelona. There’s just something about having the mountains and ocean all in one destination. Maybe that’s why I was so partial to Barcelona– a city which I honestly didn’t even know was a port city until booking […]
It’s been snowy and cold here in Chicago. Yup, that’s right, I’m back home in Chicago. Of course it’s been nice celebrating the holidays with family after not being home for the past three years, but my feet have been getting itchier by the minute. We’re still unsure of how long we’ll be here, but hopefully I’ll […]
I had never been to Mexico until this past September. Yup, that’s right. The one place where even all of my non-traveling friends had visited, I hadn’t. And you know why? Because Cancun had never interested me. I honestly probably wouldn’t have visited Cancun if it hadn’t been the destination for the annual travel blogger’s […]
After spending a glorious four days in the French Riviera, I finally understood what all the fuss was about. With beaches, great food and French charm, if I lived in Europe, it would probably be my favorite getaway destination as well. As I mentioned before, we really didn’t do much in Nice, but after moving around every […]
Of course the French Riviera is known for its beaches and yacht clubs, but it’s also a dream destination for foodies! Walking through the narrow streets of Nice, it seemed every other shop was a cafe or a market selling local products. With four days to spend in Nice we actually didn’t do much, we just ate a […]
I remember taking my first cultural anthropology class in university and thinking how I wanted to experience everything for myself rather than simply reading about cultures from a textbook. Even today, years later, the main reason I love to travel is still because I love learning about cultures from my own and interacting with locals in all the […]
Ever since I had decided I would go to Europe, people began asking me if I would make it to Tuscany. It seemed like everyone I talked to raved about this region, calling it their favorite in all of Italy, even random strangers I talked to while in a queue in Hong Kong. I pulled out […]
This week we would like to introduce Natasha Amar of The Boho Chica. Natasha is a traveler based in Dubai and likes to experience the world in cultures, cuisines and hiking trails. She writes about the people, places and things that shock, inspire and amaze her on her travels. She hopes her writing inspires people to venture out of their […]
This week we would like to introduce Sara of Simply Sara Travel. Sara traded her New Jersey bagels for French baguettes when she moved to Paris two years ago. Since the big move she’s learned a bit of French, has eaten more cheese in two years than the previous 25, and can now tie a scarf in 10 different […]
I could write a book on the mistakes I made traveling around Europe. From only spending one night in London to spending too much time in Vienna… and I haven’t even revealed what my biggest mistake was yet! It seems like the cities I thought I wouldn’t like, or was told I wouldn’t like, were the cities […]
