Day trip to High Point State Park, New Jersey

The longer I live in New Jersey, the more I fall in love with all it has to offer. That's a big change from 6 years ago when living in New York and not thinking much of my neighboring state. It's been s much fun venturing out in search of new hiking trails and lear[...]

Family Hike along the Delaware Water Gap

As I take on this homeschooling journey with my kids, I am slowly starting to step away from the computer and getting to what we enjoy the most, which is learning through experiences and travel. What I am loving so far, besides my boys' enthusiasm and ability to go[...]

Falling in love with Glacier National Park

Before I made my way to Glacier National Park, the oooh's and ahhh's and expressed envy from those whom I told about my travels made it clear that I was in for a treat. Since first setting foot in a national park in 2009, I have yet to find one I didn't love. B[...]

A day in The City of Love, Verona, Italy

Two hours from Milan and Venice, and only a little more than an hour from Brescia, where we were staying, is the city of Verona, best known for being the home of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Juliet's House will be the place you will want to visit first upon a[...]

Three beautiful days in Brescia, Italy

One of the greatest gifts I received as a young traveler to Italy was the opportunity to learn about Brescia. Brescia is about an hour and a half from Milan, in the region of Lombardy. Not many people I have spoken to about my time there as a young adult know wher[...]

What my family vacation in Italy helped me remember

I am back! I planned on only taking two weeks off from blogging, but that turned more into three. After my beautiful sister's wedding and our road trip through Italy (thanks to those who followed us on social media!), my sister came into town for a few days more af[...]

Weekend Getaway to Cortland, NY

Nestled in upstate New York, just 30 minutes outside of my old stomping grounds of Syracuse (go Orange!), lays the quaint, historic city of Cortland. A winter ski destination and close in proximity to the wineries of the Finger Lakes, it was the perfect little week[...]

Girlfriends Getaway to Lake Placid

There are a lot of promises we make to ourselves about how we want the new year to evolve. What can we add, take away, improve on. For some of us, one of these promises is to be a better friend. It's something I always strive for too and like to compliment with ei[...]

Road trip thru France’s Most Beautiful Destinations

Over the past three years, I've shared some fun adventures in travel through France. Many will agree that train travel through the country is one of the fastest ways to get around, and I agree, if you have the extra budget and if you don't get stuck in the middle o[...]

Have you ever been to a shop so pretty and cozy it Have you ever been to a shop so pretty and cozy it makes you emotional? In NYC, @niconeco_zakkaya is up there as a fave for me. 

This Japanese-inspired stationary boutique in the East Village gives me all the fuzzy feels and I was sad to hear that after 8 years unharmed, their charming shop sign was vandalized. 

They are calling on a creative illustrator who might be interested in bringing a new one to life. Check their Insta for more. And as always, support, shop, and give all the love to small businesses wherever you live and your travels may take you. And next time you are in the East Village, go check them out, and their cafe in Williamsburg, @loafonpaperny (see my reel on them). My 🫶🏾 to this little shop.

The gushing sound of the glen, afternoon song bird The gushing sound of the glen, afternoon song birds, and this sunset. #Blessed.
We did what one does when the weather is just righ We did what one does when the weather is just right and the sun is shining over Brooklyn 🌞

Rode the ferry a few minutes from Dumbo to Williamsburg for a stroll and some delicious coffee. 

Walked through Domino Park and into @birdeenyc, where I just had to taste a few of their delicious pastries and churro latte! 

Then strolled over to @loafonpaperny and shopped for some pretty stationary goodies while sipping on their Earl Grey Matcha. 

The perfect way to kick off a stunning day in the city!

My list of fave cafes continues to grow, and I am saving them in my “NY Cafes” highlights for those who are following along. ☕️

Healing my soul with people I love while trekking Healing my soul with people I love while trekking through glens in search of an eternal flame. 🔥 

This hike, in Chestnut Ridge Park, near Orchard Park, a suburb of Buffalo, NY, is a moderate, 1.5-mile round trip (more or less) that takes you on forest trails, with some stairs, and creek walking; so definitely bring waterproof shoes with grip. This popular spot can get crowded, but if you’re lucky enough to have a solo experience like we did (because of rain), it’s pretty magical.
The most perfect date night in the most perfect li The most perfect date night in the most perfect little bistro in the most perfect New York destination. No, not NYC. The Finger Lakes. 

The entire experience at @deanlanedining felt so incredibly elevated and special, and some might even say unexpected, especially from a farmhouse in rural Dundee, NY. 

Husband and wife team, Michael and Lisa Dean create a wonderful farm-to-table prix fix menu, beautifully paired with wines selected by Sommelier @danbrezinsky, who, for as long as the moment allows, further complements the first tastings with a sharing of his deep knowledge and passion for the Finger Lakes wines he serves. The individual pairings per course (4) are optional but I do highly recommend as they influenced each dish and in some cases, my opinion of certain wines. 

The vibe is intimate and personally, I enjoyed the early seating as I got to admire the sunset through the large dining room windows throughout my time there.

Their highly coveted B&B is fully booked for 2026, but reservations are open for limited seating at the restaurant, with menus changing weekly. 

An absolute highlight, and a must during your visit to the Finger Lakes!
