You might have noticed that I’ve been posting less frequently than usual – and that’s true but for good reason. For one thing, I haven’t traveled anywhere in the last two months so I don’t have my normal stream of content flowing. Secondly, I just got married! (more on that in a later post). Anyway, while I’ve been taking things [...]

My 5 Favorite South American Cities
Growing up on the east coast, I don’t think I was fully prepared for the awe-inspiring landscapes that would greet me upon my arrival. Compiling this list of my favorite SA cities was harder than I anticipated, but I take that as a good sign. 1) Jujuy, Argentina Before arriving in Jujuy, I had no idea of the small city’s [...]
5 Boho Cities I Did Not to Connect With
As much as I love being an avant-garde traveler, there are certain cities that I just don’t seem to connect with no matter how hard I try – and they are truly fantastic cities. I’m willing to give these places another shot in the future but as of now, here are 5 cities where I’ve been hit with a case [...]
5 Lessons I Have Learned From Blogging
I’ve written about travel writing before, but today I’m sharing what I’ve learned specifically from travel blogging. As it turns out, many of these lessons have helped shape me into a more outgoing version of myself. 1) Stop caring about what other bloggers think/do This step surprises even myself because I never thought I was one to question my own [...]
5 Cultural Ways to Tour Macau
This is a guest post from Jeremy Albelda, who runs The World or Bust and Top Spot Travel. If China has always been somewhere you’ve wanted to go, but you can’t live with the thought of not being able to check your Facebook (ya, it’s banned on Mainland China), you have two options, Hong Kong, or Macau (Taiwan sort of, but that’s [...]
My 2013 New Year Resolutions
It’s hard to believe that it’s already 2013 but I’m hoping it will be as great or even better than 2012. This past year was one for the records – I traveled to three continents, went out of my comfort zone and met people from around the world who in some way or another, have taught me a life lesson. [...]
My Five Favorite Travel Memories from 2012
2012 was a year full of wonderful changes and unexpected surprises. Travel-wise, I started the year off with a trip to Miami which was quickly followed by Norway, Texas, Colombia, Israel, Palestine, Finland, Germany, UK, France, California, Norway again, Austria, Dominican Republic and last but certainly not least, Ireland. Whew! I’m officially exhausted. A mix between press trips and personal [...]
Enjoying the Holidays Around the World
The holidays never fail to lift my spirits. There’s something so beautiful about Christmas lights reflecting off snow-covered streets and sipping warm, hot-chocolate as I gaze outside my apartment window. I’m not as crazy about all the commercial hoopla pushed down our throat but I understand that like every industry, the holidays is a business and I just need to [...]
Slowing Things Down in East Village
Only in the life of a travel writer would a month staying in one place seem strange. Yet, in the past six months alone, I’ve been out of the country more than I’ve been in my cozy East Village apartment. Perhaps the most painful part of that is that I’ve never stopped paying rent. But I really have little to [...]
Sunny Sightings in Ireland
Ireland may have its fair share of rainy days but my trip was filled with sunshine, which is why I’ve decided to dedicate an entire photo post to the sunshine filled skies of the Irish countryside. City Escape – one of Dublin’s most scenic parks. It’s perfect for a quick break from busy city life. This particular one is Iveagh [...]

Falling Under Girona’s Spell
Over the past few years, I’ve had two failed attempts to visit Barcelona. Both times life got in the way my plans changed. While I knew that Barcelona was not in the cards for me, I didn’t want to leave Europe without at least seeing Spain. Before heading back to the states I decided to visit a friend from high [...]
