Located in the heart of Madrid is one of those places you’d be remiss to skip — the palatial Reina Sofia Musuem (Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia). The museum came highly recommend from my art-inclined friends back home. “You can’t miss it,” one said. “It is so breathtaking,” said another. And they wereContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Reina Sofia”

Awake my soul: the story of shamanic healing
Self. Birth. Transformation. Relationships. Those four cards stare at me on the animal hide table in the little room of Betina Lindsey, the shaman at Red Mountain Resort. “Well, this fits,” she says. I close my eyes. I can only hope she’s right. Betina is my last resort. She is my little glimmer of hopeContinue reading “Awake my soul: the story of shamanic healing”
Daily Wanderlust: nighttime in Madrid
I love Spain, particularly Madrid. It will be my home one day. I’m a broken record in regards to these two statements. This is the photo I took the moment I fell head-over-heels in love.
Daily Wanderlust: La Alhambra
Perched at the top of the gorgeous Granada, Spain(home to my special Spanish affair) is one of the must-see’s in the city, if not the country — La Alhambra. The well-preserved 9th century Arabic palace, whose name means “red mountain,” is one of those magnificent spots in the city, which combines history with romance. Here,Continue reading “Daily Wanderlust: La Alhambra”
Daily Wanderlust: Sunset over Monfrague National Park
I truly believe the Extremedura region of Spain in the springtime is quite possibly the most beautiful place to celebrate this spectacular time of year. In April, Monfrague National Park comes alive with a carpet of bright green grass dotted with yellow flowers, little pea-green leaves sprouting from trees, and blue, blue skies. Sunset isContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Sunset over Monfrague National Park”

Why I’m traveling to Thailand
“D,” my Dad said to me as I drove down Las Vegas Blvd. back in late February. “Where are you thinking of going to visit next?” “I don’t know, Dad,” I said. And, that was the truth. I had no idea. For as long as I had been back in America, I hadn’t really thoughtContinue reading “Why I’m traveling to Thailand”
A different kind of addiction
So, it’s been nine months since I returned to America. And, I have a confession: I am starting to freak out knowing that I’ve been living a stationary existence for nearly one year. It scares the hell out of me. More and more I have been feeling waves of panic wash over me as myContinue reading “A different kind of addiction”
