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”

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”
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”
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”
Escape of the Week: Spanish Spring
I remember it like it was yesterday … there I sat on a bus barreling out of Madrid and toward the beautiful Extremadura region, ready to go and teach more English. I was exhausted from the evening I had before, and was struggling to keep my eyes open. The Vaughantown bus stopped for a foodContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Spanish Spring”
Escape of the Week: Madrid Metro
Hi, my name is D and I am in LOVE with Madrid. Sure, there have been plenty of nay-sayers, people who warned me against visiting Madrid, people who said the city wasn’t a place to tour. But, you know what? I LOVE Madrid. Every inch. The city pulses. It sings to me. It is oneContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Madrid Metro”
Escape of the Week: Notting Hill Blues
In my first few days on my Adventure, I hit up the infamous Notting Hill neighborhood in London. The entire neighborhood presents people with Pictures Waiting to Happen, so needless to say I snapped heaps during my NH walk about. I wandered for hours, bundled (of course), camera nearly always in my hands. I tookContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Notting Hill Blues”
Escape of the Week: Poplar Flowers
I awoke early on my second morning in London. The first day of London, I did a walking tour of Tower of London, St. Paul’s and Oxford Circus. The second day of my travels, I was left to explore on my own. So, I did what any bright-eyed, bushy-tailed traveler on the start of theirContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Poplar Flowers”
