Zebras hang out munching on grass like a ceramic figurines up in your grandmother’s dusty curio cabinet. Warthogs run around with their goofy grins and messy manes. Long-necked, docile giraffes stroll by as if in slow motion. It is all surreal. We have to keep reminding ourselves, for various reasons, T.I.A.: This is Africa. I love animals. […]

This list is a work in progress & will be updated continuously. It is my list, of course, but does not mean I’m not open to suggestions! Please feel free to leave comments with your faves!

When people find out that I traveled the world full-time for about 2 and a half years, the question is always the same: How did you pay for it?!” It’s a reasonable thing to ask. When I was working full time as a television producer and daydreaming about a life of travel (all. the. time), I […]

“Is that all you have?” I often get asked by not only friends, but also by other experienced travelers who still can’t seem to learn how to pack light. Okay, so I’ve come to terms with the fact that I am officially a travel expert. It takes a long time for me to humbly […]

Victoria-Jungfrau The hotel guest manager opens the door to my room at the Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa in Interlaken, Switzerland and a blast of fresh, bright light hits me. Sun spills into the big windows hitting the white fluffy duvet and cloud-like pillows. How will I ever leave this room? The floor to ceiling windows with mountain views, […]

Now your thumb…” No, I was not being arrested and locked up in some foreign jail (but that would likely make for a far more interesting post), I was at Newark-Liberty International Airport (okay, like a jail to some) having my Global Entry Interview. Global Entry is a […]

Bhutan — a country so photogenic and so visual, I had to shoot video so I could share it with you. If you’ve been following along this series of Bhutan you’ve flown over the Himalayas with me, learned all about the Kingdom of Bhutan, met some of the beautiful children of Bhutan, and trekked through […]

Can you get the sense that I love Sweden?! I have now been there three times and still have so much more to see. The people are friendly, the food is good, and I generally love the aesthetic of the place. How a place ‘looks’ and “carries itself” does affect me. If you’ve been reading […]

“I’m planning a big trip down the California coast this summer,” my grandma told me during one of her visits to our house in New Jersey. “I want to go!” I burst out. As a teenager, I was already ‘California dreamin’.” She said, “let’s do it!” California Dreamin’ It was the summer between my junior […]

Yes. It all looks the same. Is anything new anymore? Cobblestones, squares, kebab shops, palm trees, fountains, another f’ing cathedral. Months and months on the road, there is no denying that great sights start to blend together and lose their once dazzling sheen. You are no longer giddy with excitement and there is an absence […]
