Cinque Terre with Mom

January 28, 2019 / Destinations, Europe, family, Italy, travel

Last fall, I got to spend a wonderful long weekend exploring Cinque Terre with one of my favorite travel buddies in the world: my mom! Though the Ligurian Coast is only a few hours train ride from Milan, this was only my second time visiting. Our base for the long weekend was in Monterosso al Mare, […]

Kotor’s Charm

June 11, 2018 / Europe, Montenegro, solo, travel

When planning my trip this summer, I had a list of places I wanted to see and was absolutely not willing to reconsider. I’d done my research (well… as much as I ever do), talked to friends who’d traveled the Balkan countries before, and mapped out a slightly complicated route that had me doubling back to […]

Therme Bucharest

January 2, 2018 / Europe, Romania, travel

After my weekend in Bucharest, I would plan an entire trip with the sole purpose of going back to the spa. Our first day in Romania was rainy and cold so we headed to Therme Bucharest. The spa advertises itself as “the largest recreation, wellness, and entertainment center in Europe,” and it lives up to […]

Lessons from Romanian Taxi Drivers

December 2, 2017 / castle, Romania, travel

  “In this spot you’ll see many crosses.” Our taxi driver from the Bucharest Airport had spent the last twenty minutes pointing out various plazas, buildings, and neighborhoods he thought might interest us. “They’re here as a memorial. Many people died here 27 years ago. I was there.” He went on to tell us that […]

Exploring Lokrum

August 14, 2017 / Croatia, solo, summer, travel

Arriving in Dubrovnik with my short-term travel companions made the journey much more fun and relaxing (for me) than expected. By the time I had trudged up a million stairs with my oversized suitcase to my Airbnb, I was ready to meet up with my family and do some exploring. My Aunt Nancy, cousins Emma […]

Tour Day in Herzegovina

August 6, 2017 / Bosnia and Herzegovina, solo, summer, tour, travel

While there are countless benefits that I could go on and on about to traveling alone (and probably will soon), I briefly encountered one negative aspect during the first leg of my trip.    I’d researched all different tours that I was hoping to book, but when I finally went to book them I couldn’t- […]

Why I Loved Mostar

July 29, 2017 / Bosnia and Herzegovina, solo, summer, travel

I spent most of my time in Bosnia and Herzegovina in a kind of giddy delirium. I was so happy from the moment I stepped off the bus from Split, Croatia and into the astounding heat of Mostar. Giddy, sweaty, and exhausted. I’m not proud to say that my first act in Bosnia was a […]

My New Bosnian Boyfriend

July 17, 2017 / Bosnia and Herzegovina, souvenirs, travel

  The other day I learned a little about local souvenirs in Mostar. The colorful bronze trays I was originally drawn to are actually Turkish! It’s the pure bronze (or bronze and tin) etchings that are local. I think I need a good story and tradition to commit to a souvenir. I’d been stopping everywhere […]
