life is a daring adventure or nothing at all…
Barcelona. To this day, Catalunya’s capital remains my favorite European city. And for good reason. It’s a vibrant city, full of diverse neighborhoods, delicious foods, dramatic architecture and really, ridiculously good looking people. Barcelona has a beautiful way of merging the moorish with the modern and art within its architecture. While I hope you have [...]
The art of tapas is quite simple to master. All you need is some practice and a few go to dishes. The idea is to simultaneously enjoy bites of food with sips of wine or sangria. It’s all about grazing, not gorging. Take a few bites, take a few sips, then order again. The beauty [...]
It's been a minute... but I'm back on the blogging train and I thought the perfect way to dive back in would be a reflection on my time living in Barcelona after college.

One of the best perks of my job (real talk, why I took it) is to get paid to travel. Production shoots can be awful (sitting in a studio for 12 hours fixing product) or a breath of fresh air (exploring new cities and places). Being able to escape the chains of your desk not [...]

Positano is one of the most beautiful, enchanting, and romantic towns on the Amalfi Coast. Or, for another, more elegantly put description written by John Steinbeck... "Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone." There's really no wrong way [...]

Sorrento is the ideal (and affordable) place for you to set up home base as you explore the Amalfi Coast, Naples, Capri, and even Pompeii less than 2 hours away. Morning Explore the town on [...]
It's hard not to fall in love with Rome. From its ancient history to the renaissance period, there are so many things to see, eat and do, it can be overwhelming. Be a traveler, not a tourist and plan or stumble upon a mix of visiting the famous (yes, touristy) sites and living like a local to really appreciate the city's history and [...]
