With everyone having Olympic Fever, I figured I’d open up the dusty photo album of London today and take a stroll down memory lane. Travel back in time with me … there I was, fresh-faced, eyes wide open, wandering the streets of London during my first few days of long-term travel way back in MarchContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: The London Eye”

Daily Wanderlust: the beaches of Benidorm, Spain
If you’ve ever visited Benidorm, Spain, you will notice it isn’t like other parts of the country. Sure, the beach is beautiful and packed with people, but a large part of the tourist crowd in this neck of the Land of Valencia are of the British variety. Fish and chip shops mingle with tapas bars;Continue reading “Daily Wanderlust: the beaches of Benidorm, Spain”
Getting naked in Sweden
//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js // <![CDATA[ (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); // ]]> My name is D and I used to be, as one friend put it, “a big, girlie prude.” Never would I think of even taking off my shirt in a public, or semi-public place. In fact, when I first stopped at the baths in Budapest,Continue reading “Getting naked in Sweden”
Daily Wanderlust: A view from the Baltic Sea
There is no shortage of breathtaking vantage points in Sweden. On my last full day in the magnificent country, I headed back to the water on foot (as opposed to stand-up paddle boarding). The crisp spring air, the cloudless sky and the Baltic Sea — which transformed from aquamarine to a deep royal blue —Continue reading “Daily Wanderlust: A view from the Baltic Sea”
Daily Wanderlust: Elephants!
Apologies for the slacking of the “Daily Wanderlust” for a bit. I’ve been adjusting to life as an expat in Chiang Mai, so it’s been hard to keep these coming at the same rate I was. To prepare you for what upcoming posts can include, wanted to go ahead and toss this little photo out.Continue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Elephants!”
Daily Wanderlust: Napa Valley
Funny thing — nearly a year to the day I found myself once again at San Francisco’s airport. In July 2011, I was there because Abby and I were meeting Kristin and heading out for a girlie weekend in Napa; in July 2012, I was there because I was taking a flight across the PacificContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Napa Valley”
Daily Wanderlust: Chiang Mai, Thailand
I’ve been in Thailand a little more than one week now. (Yes, my blog is behind, sorry about that.) Each night, after work, I head here, to the little line of restaurants that line the road en route to Chiang Mai Gate. There are three restaurants in a row — Indian, Thai, and French/Italian. AllContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Chiang Mai, Thailand”
Daily Wanderlust: The Las Vegas Skyline at Night
Las Vegas … just thinking about my old home makes me nostalgic for the bright blue sky … the dusty desert … the palm trees. By day, Las Vegas is colorful, thanks to nature. But, by night, its an entirely different story. When the sun sinks behind Mt. Charleston, the lights come on. Every hotel’sContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: The Las Vegas Skyline at Night”
Escape of the Week: America via iPhoneography
If there is one thing I did to an excess while driving cross-country, it was taking photos. Between my new camera and my iPhone, I logged thousands of photos. Because the iPhone was easy to tote around, there were so many instances when I simply pulled it our from my purse (or from the armContinue reading “Escape of the Week: America via iPhoneography”
Daily Wanderlust: The White House Squirrel
Growing up in Maryland, my dad always made it a point to take my brother and me on “adventures.” These could be anything from sitting at the Metro station on a bench and watching the planes take off from National Airport to checking out all of the museums, to walking down the Potomac when theContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: The White House Squirrel”
