Kaló taksídi! Off to Greece
Ciao friends! I’ve been in Mykonos for two days and am heading to Paros today by boat. It’s just the beginning of an epic two-week trip my husband and I planned in March. I’ve actually had a travel book for Greece since 2008 when I first began dreaming about visiting this beautiful island country, but…

48 Hours in Piedmont, Italy
My husband has been talking about the Piedmont region maybe as far back as our first date in 2010. Although he’d never visited, he fell in love with Piedmont wines while living in an apartment over an Italian wine shop in Boston. Which was long before meeting me. So, it’s surprising it took us 10 months…

Campeggio Italiano: Camping in the Aosta Valley
A lot of people think I live in Sweden. Or near it. Or at least on a snow-covered mountain located very far north in Europe. In reality, Geneva is fairly far south–just an hour’s drive from the Italian border. So on a whim last week, we decided to drive through the tunnel running under Mont…

On Swiss life
As we near one year of living in Switzerland and one year on our apartment lease, I’ve been looking for a new (more affordable) apartment in Geneva. The job is tedious and all-consuming. Long French phone calls. Stacks of paperwork. Back-to-back meetings. Fees. Dead ends. And then I came across this story. A 22-year-old New Zealand…

This week I am…
…getting back to reality after a road trip through Italy (more on that soon!). …studying international beer etiquette for a September trip. …ordering these for the last days of Switzerland’s heat wave. …moving to Portland! No, not really. But how stunning is this coastal home? …listening more to my body. And not dieting. …adopting these rules for keeping money safe…

Ciao! Off to Italy…
After finally carving out a few vacation days with my husband, we’ve made plans to head south. Our dream Italy vacation would include hiking the Dolomites and relaxing in Cinque Terre, but with just a handful of days we’ve decided to focus on the Piedmont region south of Geneva. We’re headed to Aosta in the Italian…

The site features super-detailed reviews on cool hotels, which is how I found one of my all-time favorite hotels. In an industry increasingly dominated by…
