May has flown by much faster than I expected. This time last year I was just leaving a thrilling month in Colombia and gearing up for a trip to Israel and Palestine. This time around, I’m still managing to find adventures right in my own backyard. Here’s what I’ve been up to lately. Kicking my Summer into Gear Clearly, someone [...]

Literary Guide to England
During my semester studying in London, I took full advantage of traveling throughout the country. It didn’t take me very long to discover that England was a world of its own in many ways. As a self-described literary nerd, I was completely dazzled by cities and towns like Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford. Not only were these villages visually stunning but [...]
My Perfect New York Summer
As New York finally starts to feel like Spring, my mind is already thinking ahead to summer. Autumn is hands down my favorite season in New York but summer does have perks like free concerts and outdoor festivals to keep everyone entertained. Still, I’m always surprised when I hear non New Yorkers rave about how amazing it is here in [...]
Music and Travel Intertwined
I’ve been wanting to write this post for awhile now, especially considering how much fun I had writing Love and Travel Intertwined nearly two years ago. Music has always been a huge part of my life, as I’m sure it is in your own life as well. It’s been a constant part of my journey, whether it was playing the flute [...]
5 Ways to Feel Local in NYC
Tourists in New York are pretty easy to spot. They tend to do annoying things like stop in the middle of a sidewalk to take a picture or worse, they make it nearly impossible to skirt around them because they all walk next to each other. I certainly don’t mean to sound judgmental because after all, I’m a tourist whenever [...]
Tips for Choosing your Travel Insurance
Insurance is never a fun topic for anyone, as there are always costs involved yet it’s probably the most important thing to have before embarking on a trip. Up until turning 26 this past November, I had the option of piggy-backing on my parents insurance, which I did for two years. Luckily, they had a pretty comprehensive insurance plan so [...]
Bohemian Changes and Stages
As Bohemian Trails quickly nears its two year blog-versary, I couldn’t be more proud of what it’s become. Blogging began as an outlet for me and soon turned into a real career. The last year alone took me to Europe on three separate occasions, South America, the Middle East and the Caribbean. I needed this time to explore who I [...]
I am an AFAR Ambassador
AFAR has been one of my favorite magazines, if not my favorite, since its launch in 2009. While compared to other travel magazines that have been around much longer, I found AFAR at the perfect moment in my life. The first time I ever traveled abroad was in Spring of 2008 during my semester studying and working in London. Up [...]
Religious Reflections
I’ve probably never written about religion on Bohemian Trails before but in the spirit of Easter, here goes. While I consider myself more of a spiritual person than a religious one, religion has always been a part of my life. Up until college I attended Catholic school and therefore studied the Bible on a daily basis. Yet, it wasn’t until [...]
Boho Guide to San Antonio
San Antonio is an easy city to love, and I say that having not fallen in love with every bohemian city out there. My main reason for visiting was to experience their annual Luminaria celebration and I left with a huge appreciation for the local art scene. As I normally do with my Boho Guides, here are a few tips and [...]
El Pardo: A Serene Getaway from Madrid
This is a guest post from Katie-Belle of Delightsome. It can be hard work trudging the fashionista streets of Madrid in search of that latest bargain, while trying to squeeze in a few sightseeing visits such as the Prado art gallery, perhaps even a tour of Real’s Santiago Bernabeu football stadium into a long weekend break. Cities can tire, and [...]
San Antonio Comes to Light at Luminaria
Growing up, I always hated Daylight Savings time each spring. It meant that I lost an hour of sleep and had to wake up for school more tired than usual. Oh how times have changed! Thanks to San Antonio’s Luminaria art festival which coincides with the time change, I gladly welcomed one hour less of sleep because it meant seeing [...]
