Have you met Ned? The most dapper hotel in London

April 17, 2018.Reading time 7 minutes.

Can you imagine staying in vibrant, bustling London for a week and feeling reluctant each time you leave your hotel for the day? No. That would be ridiculous. London has it all. Surely no one wants to be cooped up in a hotel all day. Then again… What if every time you entered your hotel you […]

A long weekend on Lake Como

April 4, 2018.Reading time 4 minutes.

I used to treat myself more often than I do lately. Back when I was single and living alone. Back when I didn’t have many responsibilities to begin with.

March 14, 2018.Reading time 3 minutes.

If there is one thing that reminds I am actually living in Switzerland versus existing in some dreamy, problem-free Instagram travel thread, it is going to the dentist. I’ve never been a fan.

When you live in a country that is synonymous with skiing, you are bound to get a lot of questions about where to find the best slopes. I’ve sent so many emails to friends detailing how to check “ski the Alps” off of their travel bucket lists, that I’m finally writing a post I can […]

The makings of a bébé-friendly vacation

January 19, 2018.Reading time 6 minutes.

There is a sigh I’ve been known to breathe upon entering our apartment after a long trip. A sigh that says “Finally! I can relax!” A sigh that means it’s time to take off my shoes and hang up my coat. This sigh has only become louder and longer after becoming a parent. Maybe you […]
