Where do you find travel inspiration?
I usually get inspired to travel to a new place after reading an interesting article on it. I am a nerdy kind of traveler who likes to know the complete history before stepping foot in a city. You know, so I can rattle off WWII statistics over brunch. I’m charming that way. I can say,…

Heaven on Earth: The InterContinental Koh Samui
You know how therapists recommend visualizing a “happy place” to combat anxiety? Well, I never had one until I went to Thailand. Now, my happy place is The InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort. Two weeks ago my husband and I spent three, relaxing, sun-filled days at this gorgeous resort on Koh Samui island. It has taken me a…

Bon weekend à tous!
Although I still find myself waking up at 4am and I can barely keep my eyes open through dinner, all of the jet lag in the world is worth traveling to Thailand. I’m so excited to share my Thai travelogues with you next week. What are your weekend plans? I’ve got an itch to ready my…

Back from paradise
I’m just waking up from the dream that was two weeks in Thailand and I can’t wait to share more about what makes this country so incredible! The photo above captures about one-tenth of its beauty and 100% of my excitement. I’ll post more photos soon. For now, a few fun links if you are…

Off to Thailand!
We leave today for two weeks in Thailand and I’m so excited that I fear this long, international flight is going to feel a lot longer! If I find time to update the blog I will (there is rain forecasted nearly every day), but otherwise see you in September! In the meantime, a few travel…

On the road
Last night we returned from a two-week trip across Europe with my husband’s parents. We saw four countries by way of planes, trains and automobiles. We took in art in Paris, the Alps in Switzerland, the Mediterranean in Nice and quite a bit of pasta in Italy. It was both exhilarating and exhausting, but the…

A weekend in Lucerne
A couple of months ago I received one of the best job offers: Get paid to spend a weekend in Lucerne eating, drinking and having fun. Oh, and I had to write a few thousand words on why other travelers should visit Lucerne for a yet-to-be-published travel guide. I can’t divulge all of my recommendations here,…

Travel Goods: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Last year I wrote a post on all the travel goodies I was secretly eyeing on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (yes, they ship to Europe!). A friend of mine asked me–ahem, begged me–for this year’s Anniversary Sale roundup. So, I happily online window shopped and came up with ten items that I’d love for fall and…

Spicy Watermelon Agua Fresca
I don’t know about you, but in the summertime I find myself reaching more and more for a glass of wine …or a margarita …or a mojito. There is something about the late sunsets that have me celebrating every day of the week with a drink! I don’t need the alcohol; I just need something…

Wanderweg Weekend
“Wanderweg” means walking trail in German. These adorable yellow signs are all over Switzerland–throughout its cosmopolitan cities and the majestic Alps. In the middle of a meadow or on top of a snow-capped mountain. When we see one we know we’re on the right path. We’re headed in the right direction. All good. There’s definitely…
