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”

Daily Wanderlust: Goats on a Roof
Yes. Goats on a Roof. This little shop located in Tiger, Georgia is known for its star attraction — the adorable goats who hang out on their roof. The shop features homemade fudge, jams, mining, even a little fire pit to make some s’mores. And, a herd of goats. On the roof. Complete with hay,Continue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Goats on a Roof”
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: Brasov’s Town Square
Located in Transylvania, Brasov, Romania is a small city (and one of the most visited in the country). Here, people can explore the nearby mountains and local Dracula lore, rent cars and go on day trips, even wander the narrowest street in Europe, measuring a whopping four feet across. My favorite thing to do whileContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Brasov’s Town Square”
The (in)exchange of energies
Cynthia taps on my chest. Tap. Tap. Tap. I can feel those taps reverberate through my body. I can hear the sounds echo in my ears. Hollow. I feel hollow. “OK,” she says softly, powering up the massage table to a sitting position. “How stressed are you?” she asks, her gentle eyes full of concern.Continue reading “The (in)exchange of energies”
Daily Wanderlust: the DC Metro
Travel was instilled in me at a very young age. Growing up 20 minutes from Washington, DC, meant there was always something to do, always something to see. I was very fortunate to have a family that wanted me to see the world around me. On weekends, my dad would bundle up my brother andContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: the DC Metro”
Escape of the Week: Plitvice Lakes National Park
Plitvice Lakes National Park, located in Croatia, is one of the most beautiful places I have ever had the priviledge to explore. Seriously. The park, which is the perfect (and gorgeous) day trip, features 16 stunning bright blue lakes packed with waterfalls rushing down cliffs. Blue-green lakes, which change color depending on what’s going onContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Plitvice Lakes National Park”
Daily Wanderlust: Dublin’s Guinness Factory
I realize just in writing this how entirely lucky I am: I spent St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland in 2010. Damn. Lucky. However, while I was lucky to be there, I did have one tiny problem during my five days in this charming country (Dublin and Galway). My liver hated me. Despised me. Was ready to fallContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Dublin’s Guinness Factory”
The career cross-road
When it came time for my one-year anniversary with my company this past winter, I went in, ready to ask for a raise and full-time status. Despite the fact that, only a few months earlier, when I was suffering from horrific jet lag, my bosses informed me I would no longer be able to takeContinue reading “The career cross-road”
Daily Wanderlust: London’s Hyde Park
London was my first stop of my long-term travels in 2012. Somehow, I managed to skip a post-long-haul nap, have a reunion with a travel buddy I met in Croatia and spent a few days on Hvar with, and also reunited with a friend from Las Vegas. I did a lot of exploring while I wasContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: London’s Hyde Park”
