I have been to London a few times now. Three in the past year. It has become quite a love affair. Every time I go I discover another part to apprecaite. London has become my long distance lover. Coxing me back every few months.

Why I Want to be a Travel Blogger
In August I attended my first blogging conference TBU in Nantes, France. It was an exciting and nerve racking experience. It thankfully was a small conference, perfect for a first timer like me trying to break into the large world of travel blogging. Talk about intimidating!
Mendoza: Argentina’s Wine Region
Although it was June when I went to Argentina, Buenos Aires was unseasonably warm. Most days I did not even need a jacket. After spending about a week in the city we ventured out ( by over night bus) to Mendoza. The wine capital of Argentina!
Just a Few Reasons to Love Brussels
My most recent trip to Europe was a sudden last minute decision with not a lot of time to plan. A good friend of mine is living in London and I went to visit her. We wanted to do a weekend trip somewhere and looking at a map I thought “Hey Belgium is close!” Then…
The Statue of Liberty and What Freedom Means to Me
I have been slacking a bit on doing my New York City trips. Crazy how hard it is to get away from my day to day life to make it an hour away. Alas it is. I generally don’t work on Fridays and spend that day exploring NYC. Lately I have been swamped with work.
Falling in Love Around the Globe
Have you ever fallen in love while travelling? I consistently do this. Sometimes it is with a place but a lot of times it is with a person. I love falling in love with someone I may never see again. I get to leave a piece of me while taking a piece as well. Sometimes…
How Technology has Changed Travel
About 12 years ago I started traveling. When I packed my bags and made a list of the things I would need when I was away to entertain myself and continue to write the list was very short. I had a discman (you know what existed before iPods) a journal a book and of course…
Tips: Solo or Partner Travel?
This week I am headed to London to hang out with some friends and it got me to thinking. I have started to really enjoy traveling alone. I spent most of my youth travelling with my best friend. Bouncing around from city to city getting on each others nerves and laughing at things only the…
Liverpool and The Beatles
I admit it I wanted to go to Liverpool solely because I love The Beatles. This is a fact I am not ashamed of. Who doesn’t love The Beatles? When I was in London last April I was hell bent on getting to Liverpool.
Coba: Riviera Maya’s Perfect Ruins
My whole trip to Mexico revolved around seeing ruins. I spent a whole day in the hot sun to trek around Chichen Itza. It was a bright, hot day and Chichen Itza proved absolutely no shade. A few days later I went to my next set of ruins at Coba. A completely different experience. We…
Travel Plans for the Year Ahead
In 2014 I traveled more then I ever have before. I went on 4 trips to 5 different countries, How may you ask?
Coffee: where you cant find a decent cup
Over the years I have learned to live with out a lot while traveling.Sometimes when you are in a foreign land you have to deal with the fact that things just wont be the same as home. The Rolling Stones were right when they said “You can’t always get what you want.”
