Ever since I traveled to Paris over ten years ago, I realized something fun. I realized that cities are kind of like people in the sense of having a unique individual personality. On my most recent trip to Paris, I discovered a romantic and beautifully whimsical side to Paris full of history, delicious Parisian delicacies, […]
Finding a little bit of Europe in Florida’s Panhandle!

A Guide To Exploring Miami’s Design District

Do YOU…everyone else is taken!
You know that quote by Oscar Wilde, “Be yourself, everyone else is taken.” Well, it’s taken me quite sometime to totally come to a full understanding of what this actually means for me. I mean, I know who I am (always growing and changing). What I’ve had a hard time with is, who is the […]
Los Angeles, Off the Beaten Path!
When I travel to new or old destinations I love finding, or even better, stumbling across places off the beaten path. What does that mean exactly?

I […]
A Day Away in Austin, Texas!
When your best friend asks you to come visit while her husband is away for a week, you say YES! We hadn’t seen each other in person for over a year. We talk over FaceTime almost everyday, but it’s just not the same. If any of you have seen Gilmore Girls, you’ll understand when I […]
A Day Away in New Bern, NC.

Sunny and Sleepless in Seattle!
I was literally sleepless as I arrived in Seattle. Twenty-four hours had passed and I had only a 20-minute nap. It was 7am and my next flight to Atlanta was at 7:45am… but, it was SUNNY and I had never seen Seattle! So, I called my travel agent (aka mom) to see if I could […]

Tour of Italy: Florence
Florence was my favorite place in Italy…the art, the food, the shopping! Even though it had tourists bursting at the seams, I really felt a sense of the local life while in Florence. Maybe it was because we stayed a bit out of the city’s center or ate mainly where the locals eat? I’m not […]
