Itinerary: The Best Weekend in Los Angeles

Whenever I travel somewhere new, I always wish I could talk to someone who could tell me the really cool local stuff to do in that place. The stuff you’re never going to find on a website or in a guidebook (but ohhhh, how I trrryyyy!). The kind of places and experiences that interests me, […]

Itinerary: Road Trip in France – Exploring the wine regions around Beaune and Arbois

I’ve been itching to take a road trip through France, and especially to explore some of the lesser-known wine regions. I looked at Beaune and Arbois as two possible separate road trips — and then realized they’re only an hour apart by car! So, I’ve melded the two itineraries into one 8-day mega French wine […]

List: My Trip Wish-List (updated 11.17.2019)

I have an ongoing list of trips I’d like to take — which means itineraries I need to build! Some include places I’ve already been but with added cities to explore or experiences to be had. Some are completely new adventures. Just having this list is exciting to me — it’s like a sneak peak […]

Itinerary: Weekend in New York (Not your typical Big Apple trip)

I’ve been to New York many times, so when my mom and I talked about going to New York for a mother/daughter trip, neither of us were interested in sight-seeing the usual Big Apple highlights. Instead, I put together an itinerary that would let us experience a few things in NYC that we haven’t yet […]

Itinerary: A Week in Tel Aviv and Petra

We booked tickets to Tel Aviv for February 2018! Very excited about this. Israel is a country that I’ve spent a lot of time in and that I absolutely love and I am beyond excited to share it with my brave boyfriend. I say brave because he totally got on board with this trip and […]

Itinerary: Paris (II) and Antibes

This is the second installment in my Paris series with a jaunt down to the South of France added on. I was just in Antibes this past May and it was an incredible spot. It was my second time in Antibes – the first visit was a 10 minutes stop during a tour I did […]

Itinerary: Weekend in Asheville, NC

This is a city I’ve been wanting to visit for awhile. I’ve put together a quick weekend trip itinerary below, with the idea that I’d fly in late on a Friday (or even take a red-eye on a Friday night) and have a quick fun weekend exploring Asheville. I’m interested in checking out the brewery […]

Itinerary: Dublin & Florence – in 1 week

I studied abroad in Florence, and worked in Dublin on a 4-month work visa, so the itinerary below is based on my experience living in both cities and how I’d spend my time if I were a first time visitor to either city. I originally created this itinerary in the hopes that Ryan and […]

Itinerary: A Week in Paris (I)

This itinerary has been a hit so many times – I go back to this one time and again when I’m asked for recommendations on Paris. I judge it’s usefulness from the many short emails over hotel wifi I’ve received with some version of “ In Paris! Tried that restaurant you recommended! It was awesome! […]
