Escape of the Week: Benidorm by night

It was a year ago, nearly to the day, I was on #blogtripf1 in the Land of Valencia. The five-day trip was an amazing experience, allowing me to experience yet another beautiful province in Spain, and meet some of the most amazing travel bloggers ever. Our second night together, we headed to the super BritishContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Benidorm by night”

The Las Vegas Foodgasm: Wicked Spoon

Katie and I wandered through the  halls of Cosmopolitan’s second floor, en route to Wicked Spoon, passing by tourists posing inside of larger-than-life shoes and walls adorned with art. We were on a mission: stuff our faces with good eats at the hotel’s much-praised buffet, Wicked Spoon. I’ve already confessed, I’m no foodie, but  afterContinue reading “The Las Vegas Foodgasm: Wicked Spoon”

The Las Vegas Foodgasm: An Introduction

I have a confession: I am not a foodie. Foie gras does not make me weak in the knees. It is only recently that I have developed a taste for cheese (and it’s got to be really bougie cheese at that) and steak (same deal … has to be super good). Hell, to be quiteContinue reading “The Las Vegas Foodgasm: An Introduction”

Escape of the Week: Walls of Chauen

Perhaps one of the most stunningly colored cities I have ever visited, Chefchauen, Morocco, provided me with a photo opp around every winding road, narrow alley and blue-walled building. The entire medina is a refreshing bright blue stacked with white half-way up nearly every building’s wall. And then there are gorgeous splatters of color —Continue reading “Escape of the Week: Walls of Chauen”

Escape of the Week: Colors of Prague

    I’ve been to Prague twice in my life, and was taken by the city both times. As someone who is not used to seeing the gorgeous myriad of architecture in Prague (stuff like this just doesn’t exist in America, sadly), every turn down a new street delighted my eyes. The colors. The shapes.Continue reading “Escape of the Week: Colors of Prague”

How to have a Travel Adventure without Adventure Travel

    Adventure. It’s a pretty hefty word with a lot behind it. To me, adventure is more than just jumping out of airplanes … more than climbing a mountain. I’m so not that girl. In my world adventure is about taking risks. Going off my beaten path to experience something new. As a traveler,Continue reading “How to have a Travel Adventure without Adventure Travel”

Escape of the Week: A Silverback in Rwanda

I remember this day like it was yesterday, although it was almost a year exactly since this photo was taken. It was me, Anna, JD, Adam, Jason, and Mary, along with William, a representative from the Rwanda Development Board. We had been invited to visit Rwanda for a little more than five days to seeContinue reading “Escape of the Week: A Silverback in Rwanda”

Interview: Adrenaline Living

I had the pleasure today of being interviewed by Angelia Miller on her Adrenaline Living Talk Show. It’s my first interview, and quite a change from being the person pitching to the person being interviewed. If you have the time, give it a listen. It’s insight into quitting your job, traveling and my experiences travelingContinue reading “Interview: Adrenaline Living”

12 Questions to Ask Any RTW Traveler

//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js // <![CDATA[ (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); // ]]> “So, tell me …” it always begins, often while sitting over an adult beverage in a crowded bar (at least in my experiences) … “tell me ALL about your travels.” Pause. I look down. I look to the inquisitive person across from me, wide-eyed, sittingContinue reading “12 Questions to Ask Any RTW Traveler”

Escape of the Week: Merida’s Roman Statue

Tucked into the westernmost part of Spain is the Extremadura region. A land heavy on the nature, light on the bustling city. A place where people go to get away from the big cities and take a few more minutes to sip their coffee. A place where people go to explore the local wildlife (birdContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Merida’s Roman Statue”
