This wasn’t really one of those take-heaps-and-heaps-of-photos-trips (and no, it’s not because I was all glassy-eyed drunky in Napa … cause I wasn’t … for realsies). But, in case you want more Napa pics, here are favorites from our day of wine tasting, starting with The Golden Gate Bridge: The lush Domaine Chandon: Continue reading “Photo Essay: Napa Valley”

Photo Essay: Chardonnay Lodge
Chardonnay Lodge is many things. One of which is adorable. So adorable, in fact, that I put together a little photo essay of all of its adorable-ness.
Escape of the Week: Sunny Beach, Bulgaria
It has been just about one year since Abby and I bounced around Istanbul and Bulgaria together. Poor Abby saw the worst of me during this time — I was in the full clutches of Travel Fatigue, mixed with being sick. We didn’t really have any set plans other than meeting in Istanbul. From there,Continue reading “Escape of the Week: Sunny Beach, Bulgaria”
Escape of the Week: Istanbul’s Spice Bazaar
Istanbul’s Spice Bazaar, also known as Mısır Çarşısı, is one of those attractions visitors should put on their itineraries. Built in the 1660’s, the bazaar is one of those places which simply mesmerizes. It’s crowded. The people inside stroll from each business, stopping to sample the Turkish Delights, to capture the images of the pops of colorContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Istanbul’s Spice Bazaar”
Escape of the Week: Underground Berlin
When I was in Berlin, I enjoyed two free tours. One that took me to the historical sites (which, to my surprise, was not a snooze fest), and one that took me to the underground art scene. In the cold and rain, our guide escorted us through squatter residences, enlightened us on the history ofContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Underground Berlin”
Escape of the Week: Krakow Sunset
Krakow is an easy city to fall in love with, and one of the most underrated. The old portion isn’t too large, so it’s easy to navigate. There’s tons of kebap shops. Clubs and bars make the nightlife one of the best in the region. And, well, it is just plain gorgeous. I spent aContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Krakow Sunset”
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”
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”
