Itinerary: 4 Days on the Island of Ischia, Italy

DAY 1 / CIAO FORIO! Flight: I flew in to the Naples airport from London and took a taxi to the Naples port. *Hot Tip: I wish I would have known that you can negotiate the taxi price with the driver, but you must do so before you set off. I ended up paying a […]

Itinerary: 1-Week Road Trip through Switzerland

You may notice this itinerary has a few days in Mallorca tacked onto the end. I had the BEST time in Mallorca and I’m dying to return – Paired with the fact that this Switzerland itinerary is at the top of my list for my next trip – and you have the mish-mosh (but totally […]

Itinerary: One week in Paris & Mallorca

In late July, 2019 I realized I would stop accruing vacation days at work if I didn’t take some time off soon (the best kind of problem to have!), so I’m taking a week off in late September 2019 – which left me with less than 2 months to figure out where to go and […]

Itinerary: 2 Week Honeymoon in France & Greece

I made four powerpoints. F-O-U-R. Each had a different possible honeymoon itinerary, and most importantly, photos. The photos were the most important for Ryan, who I was presenting these powerpoints to. We mixed and matched the itineraries and settled on the below – A week of adventure followed by a week of relaxation. I […]

Itinerary: Weekend in Albuquerque, New Mexico

I never had any intention of visiting Albuquerque (at the very least, Santa Fe was higher on my list), but when Ryan was sent to ABQ for 5 weeks for work, a trip to ABQ quickly became a top priority. I didn’t plan the itinerary for this trip, Ryan did – and it was an […]

Itinerary: A Week in: Rome – Florence – Venice – and the Tuscan Countryside

I just spent a week in Italy showing Ryan the hits (Rome – Florence – Venice), but since I studied abroad in Florence back in 2005 and had spent a lot of time in those three cities, I added on something new and special for myself to our itinerary – a day trip around […]

Itinerary: Road Trip Tuscany (with lots of hilltop towns, wine & cheese tasting)

This is an itinerary I’ve put together and am hoping to do soon!

The photos I’ve included are from when I studied abroad in Florence and did a bit of traveling […]

TOKYO DAY 1 : SHOPPING + FLASHINESS Morning stroll through Ginza to explore its shops and depato (dept. stores). Walk through the nearby Harajuku and Omotesando fashion districts. Harajuku Harajuku Station on East Japan […]

Itinerary: Road Trip in France – Amended – Paris (III) + Wine regions near Beaune and Arbois

I’ve been thinking about the Beaune and Arbois itinerary that I posted – since it’s definitely the next trip I want to take. I probably think about it too much. I want to take that trip with Ryan, since he’s my favorite travel partner and he’s fast becoming quite well-traveled! We’re not even halfway through […]

Itinerary: Wine Tasting Weekend in Los Olivos, CA

Ryan and I have spent three fantastic weekends in Los Olivos (as of June 2019) and this is the compilation of the hits — all the things we loved the most. It’s only about a 1.5 hour drive from LA. We plan to go back again soon – it’s the kind of place that’s very […]
