We wait down the hill in Boca de Tomatlan. It’s humid, but a fan blows gently on us, cooling me down … and my french fries. Icy cold Corona placed on the wooden table in front of me, I look off into the distance, squinting for signs of a little motor boat coming to whiskContinue reading “Eco Love at Majahuitas Resort”

Luna Liquida: A Look at the Boutique Hotel in Puerto Vallarta
Editor’s Note: I was a guest of Luna Liquida, a boutique hotel in Puerto Vallarta. You can review my disclosure policy here. Tucked on a cobblestone street, perched on a steep slope, this boutique hotel in Puerto Vallarta seems inconspicuous. If it wasn’t for a tiny sign hanging on the outside of the old buildingContinue reading “Luna Liquida: A Look at the Boutique Hotel in Puerto Vallarta”
Street Art in Downtown Las Vegas
Las Vegas isn’t a city known for street art. In fact, I’m confident that most people would never even put the two together. That’s changing. Thanks to Life is Beautiful, a three-day festival that takes over Downtown Las Vegas, the city is upping its street art cred. This year’s LIB runs from Sept. 23 – 25 andContinue reading “Street Art in Downtown Las Vegas”
Guide to Nightlife in Chiang Mai
Compared to the thumping and thriving nightlife in Bangkok, Chiang Mai at night is sleepy and reserved. But, sleepy and reserved in a way that isn’t really sleepy or reserved at all. From backpacker enclaves to seedier lady bars, to local dives and the places where the hip and fabulous hang out, there’s something forContinue reading “Guide to Nightlife in Chiang Mai”
What to Pack for Rainy Season in Thailand
Rainy season is my favorite time of year in Thailand. Without a doubt. I love the fresh air that washes the smell of diesel away. The sound of the droplets hitting the metal roofs. The downpours that come charging out of nowhere, and then disappear as quickly as they came. During the months of JulyContinue reading “What to Pack for Rainy Season in Thailand”
The Night of 10,000 Candles: Inside Pedraza’s La Noche de las Velas
The Spanish countryside unfolds before me, vibrant greens, golden hills and that blue twilight sky that forever sears itself into memory. Holding a glass of chilled white wine in my hand, I lean against the ancient stone wall of Pedraza, taking it all in. It’s July 4th, Independence Day. Only, I’m thousands of miles fromContinue reading “The Night of 10,000 Candles: Inside Pedraza’s La Noche de las Velas”

While in London, I was constantly looking for cool places to visit and experience. I like to think I found quite a few little gems, some you may have heard of, and maybe some new ones, too!

10 things to do in Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv. One of my favorite cities in the world (not just because my best friend happens to live there). It is a city I have been to three times in less than two years, and located in a country I have been to four times (which is tied with England for top visits). EveryContinue reading “10 things to do in Tel Aviv”
Discovering Ferrari and Pavarotti Land
The birthplace of Lambrusco. Of Ferrari. Of Pavarotti. Of balsamic vinegar. Of magical sunsets dipping down behind ancient walls. This is Emilia Romagna, a stunning region in Italy where charm, history and modern-day life all merge together to create a place that is eponymous with what they imagine the country to offer.
