I finally finished unpacking two suitcases that sat on my bedroom floor from trips that I did back-to-back with very little time at home. This is the dream life of many travel bloggers and writers I know. It is definitely not mine. For the past couple of years I have traveled an average of 2-3 times a month. My reason for traveling so much is to get work. To stay busy and always have[...]
Joys of Winter in Southwest Quebec
Located in the Laurentian Mountains northwest of Montréal in Quebec, Canada, is the year-round ski resort, Mont-Tremblant. It sits on the shores of Lake Tremblant and not far from the Mont-Tremblant National Park. It has also become a destination favorite since our recent romantic weekend getaway there. From Newark and La Guardia airports, it's about a 5 hour flight, with one stop[...]
I was fortunate to have my introduction to Germany in Berlin. It's a beautiful city, where I met people who were warm and welcoming, and where language wasn't a huge challenge because, it seemed, everyone spoke English. But one of the things I have learned from my travels through Europe is that the larger cities, though glorious in their own way, leave a lot to be desired when truly se[...]
February kicks off the German carnival, or karneval, season. The carnival traditions are not exclusive to Germany, of course. Austria and Switzerland share many of the cultural roots as well, but I was fortunate enough to have had my very first Fasching experience in Bavaria. The larger, most touristy celebrations that people know about are held in major cities such as Munich, Cologne,[...]

Around this time of year, after my husband and I have spent months planning and organizing family get-together and outings, I start to long for a little escape for just us two. My husband's preference for warmer climate tends to draw us to the beach and few are as accessible and as quick to get to as the beautiful island of Aruba. Because Aruba is such a small island, it's easy for us t[...]
2015 was a happy year for me in many ways. Not without its challenges, not without its losses, I feel I came out of it a more grounded, more confident, person with a clearer vision for what I want for my future. I shared a lot of the exciting things that happened in my post, The Best Travel Stories, so here, I thought I would limit the words and share my journey through photography.read mo[...]
I am not a fan of traveling during the holidays, especially during the winter holidays. No one can ever really predict what the weather will be like, though during the winter getting snowed in or iced down is a greater possibility for those of us coming from colder areas. Expedia.com has already reported that holiday travel for the 2015 season is looking busier it was last year, with[...]
