[dropcap]I[/dropcap] never thought my first time in China would be a quick four day trip, but its surprising how much you can see when you hit the ground running. As luck would have it I found a nonstop red-eye arriving in time for breakfast. When I landed I was surprised how much traffic there was. It […]
[dropcap]U[/dropcap]pon meeting people for the first time some of the common questions asked are: “What’s your name?, “Where do you work?” and “Where do you live?” The jet-setter in me is more interested in travel so I have a tendency to ask, “What’s your favorite place to vacation?” More often than not I get the same response […]
[dropcap]O[/dropcap]ne of the perks of growing up in the United States is the convenience of traveling to Mexico. Though I’d traveled across the border as a teenager living in Texas, the Mexican states Quintana Roo and Yucatán had been on my bucket list for years. At that time my starving student budget combined with moving to […]
Taking a vacation? Checkout my travel services. [dropcap]P[/dropcap]lanning a vacation can be the most tedious chore. With so many companies competing for the best deal it’s tough to narrow it down to one. With the help of travel apps, books, online services and agencies we have a wealth of resources at our fingertips. The problem isn’t always planning a […]
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he last two years have been high travel periods for me. I’ve been to over 30 countries and counting. With so many wonderful places on my bucket list I vowed never to be a repeat offender and visit the same places twice besides Paris. That was until Greece happened. There is something magical and pure about this country. It is one of my top 5 favorite […]
The verdict is in and the winner goes to Korakia Pensione! After almost two decades of traveling to Palm Springs I have finally narrowed it down to the most romantic private oasis in the desert. While Palm Springs competes for posh, hip luxury hotels and Airbnb’s, nothing comes quite close to the Korakia. Trust me, I have […]
With another Paris Fashion Week behind us, and a new stamp to add to my passport, I’m feeling a little nostalgia for my American in Paris days. After a magical trip I decided it was time to share my love affair with this city and how to explore Paris like a Parisian. As most of you […]
People are constantly asking for my travel recommendations and what websites I use to book fights. The truth is, I’m a loyal Delta Skymiles member. As often as I travel (Hello, 250 days a year!), having status with an airline not only expedites the airport process, but it earns you miles for future travel. Last year I […]
Chicago has a lot going on. With its culture, culinary staples and unique neighborhoods Chicago’s on my list of must-see cities in the United States. My trip to Chicago was everything I hoped for and more. Though I’d been to Illinois many times before this was my first extended stay in the windy city. It worked out well because I was there for 2 […]
I’ve been wanting to travel to Portland for years so when I had the opportunity to go for work recently I jumped at the chance. The city was everything I had hoped for and more. From the convenience of the public transportation system (Max Light Rail), to the abundance of coffeehouses and friendly neighborhood restaurants, I was […]
After two gorgeous weeks in Canada I made it back to the states. I jaunted off to NYC for new years, but I am definitely missing my Canadian travels while reflecting over the snow and sleigh rides last week. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen a few of the photos I posted during my stay […]
A few weeks ago I had to go to Miami for work. I travel a decent amount but I haven’t been back to Miami in 5 years so you can imagine my excitement when this opportunity came up. To be fair I enjoy working and love my job, but traveling to exotic locations and getting to enjoy new cities […]
July 2015 marked the beginning of many transformations in my life. It started in June after a trip to Africa and Europe: I was on a travel high and didn’t want to slowdown. Traveling alone can be frightening for someone who doesn’t travel often, but being a female often poses other questions which I contemplated long […]
Dress: Alice and Olivia, Sandals: Steve Madden, Sunglasses: Rayban A few weeks before our wedding my fiancé and I decided to take a road trip to Palm Springs for a mini staycation. We holed up in one of our favorite hotels, Parker Palm Springs, for 3 days and enjoyed a little retail therapy and R&R. During our stay we snuck away for an […]
For the past decade Santorini’s been on my bucket list. When I got word the TV show I work on, Chasing Life, was going on an early hiatus I jumped at the opportunity to take a vacation. I had already planned a trip to Copenhagen after our wrap date so I quickly changed my trip and extended my stay through Greece. I stayed in […]
36 hours wasn’t long enough so I booked a ticket back to Copenhagen for two more days to see what I missed the first time around. It ended up working out perfectly because a friend from the states who used to live in Denmark happened to be vacationing there at the same time. He took me […]
When you only have 36 hours in Copenhagen you hit the ground running. After 4.5 hours and 10 days in Morocco I was ready to be back in Europe. Denmark is very americanized. They love Hollywood and speak English everywhere so I immediately felt at home. Since it was my first time in Copenhagen I planned a busy day and a […]

North Africa was a long time coming. After a few persuasive photos of camel rides and ATVs in the desert I booked a trip with two of my coworkers to visit Morocco for the first time. Let me start by saying thank you to both of them. This trip was the most incredible journey I have ever taken, and I couldn’t have […]
A few months ago I decided to take a trip to Europe during a month hiatus from work. I hadn’t been to London in a few years so when my friends suggested meeting there and traveling together I jumped on the opportunity. It’s a great hub for international travel: If you’re a frequent flyer member […]
People often ask me how I travel so much for work and my answers always the same, I love my job and that makes it easy, and for me there’s nothing in the world better than the experiences gained from traveling. I’ve been traveling since before I was old enough to walk, but it wasn’t until a few years […]
