This post is selfish. You might not want to read it. It is a letter to myself to help me get thru a break up of sorts. I am making a huge life decision. Everything will be shifting and right now I am both exhilarated and frightened. I need to keep reassuring myself that I…
Since I was in high school I have been obsessed with the Harry Potter series. Once I started reading them I could not put them down. J.K. Rowling you just might be my hero.I would wait anxiously for each book to come out and read them slowly because I did not want them to end….
On my second trip through Germany I wanted to tack a city on that I had never been to before. After a short amount of pondering I ended up choosing Nuremberg. My deep love for all things World War II and the fact that this was the home of gingerbread had me sold quickly .

In honor of my return to Mexico last week. I have always said I dislike staying on resorts. I think it is the worst way to see a country. I also get that a lot of people aren’t going to Mexico for the culture but for the beaches. Inclusive resorts are great for that. All…
If you’re going to Europe or anywhere for that matter. One of the cheapest and best ways to do it is to backpack. You live a little less luxuriously but when you want to see all the world has to offer spending untold amounts on hotel rooms doesn’t seem worth it. I mean how much…
For years I have lived about 20 minutes from one of the most visited sights on Long Island and never went.The Old westbury Gardens are visited by thousands of people a year. Every year I say this is the year. Then guess what happens? I don’t go.
