Everyone always thinks of Seattle when they think of Washington State. The sea, the mountains, Starbucks…but the other side of the state is just as wonderful and deserves more recognition. I knew very little about Spokane before I went. I love when a place can really surprise me. Spokane is located on the eastern side…

Your Perfect Richmond, VA Itinerary
I have driven thru Virginia so many times. I am not sure why it took me so long to get to Richmond. How could I be sleeping on a city as wonderful as this one?
Why You Should go to Missoula, Montana
There is this place in Montana where a river runs through it. A place you can have it all. Arts, culture, diversity, outdoors and incredible food and drink. This place is called Missoula. I sadly dismissed Montana as a destination. I knew it would be beautiful but I felt like it wouldn’t have anything to…
Where to Eat in Cartagena?
Following in Anthony Bourdain’s footsteps I chose Cartagena as my first destination in Colombia. Colombia has been on my radar for a few years now. I had been meaning to explore more of South America and I fell in love with arepas a few years back. I wanted to follow my stomach to this place.
What to do In and Around Tallinn, Estonia
If you go to Tallinn in warmer weather your options are expansive. I visited in December. The weather was just starting to turn really cold. A few days in it was snowing. For me it just added to the ambiance. The cobblestone roads, the medieval buildings and, since it was nearing Christmas, the markets all…
Getting your fill in Tallinn, Estonia
When heading to Estonia I had very little actual knowledge of the country. In my head I thought, former Soviet Country, probably dreary maybe not westernized. Man was I wrong.

What to Eat and Drink in the Finger Lakes
The Finger lakes is a broad area. There is so much to absorb. I spent a few days eating and drinking my way thru Utica, Ithaca, Cooperstown and Syracuse trying to find the best places to go! I have rounded them up and put them here for your reading ( and hopefully eventual trip) pleasure!
Dining at Red Rock Ranch
When I decided to go to Red Rock Ranch in Wyoming I never imagined it would be such a foodie trip. I imagined I would eat well and enjoy myself but the culinary experience I was actually in for took me by surprise. What I ended up with was a real interesting culinary experience.
Communism, Craft Beers and Dessert in Brasov
Heading to Brasov I contacted the local branch of Urban Adventures. I have worked with them in Philly and also numerous times in New York. I have never been on a tour I didn’t enjoy with them. They use local guides and give you unique experiences. They show you things you might not find on…
Getting to Know the Cuisine of Kerala
A lot of people tell me they hate curry so therefore they do not like Indian food. It seems that a lot of people don’t realize curry is a spice and there are in fact lots of choices when it comes to how one will taste. Not all are created equal and just because you…
48 Hours in Philly
I have been to Philly a few times. I have explored the necessary monuments, eaten a cheese steak or two and even had a one night stand. Heading back there for a weekend I felt like I could explore more of the off the beaten path experiences and take more time.
My Top 5 of Copenhagen
After spending a few weeks in Sweden and Norway the price drop in Denmark was exciting. I felt like I could buy a beer or afford dinner. I even knew someone in Copenhagen so I had someone to show me around.
