Paris is a magical city with much to see but today I would like to venture outside its walls with you. Past the city limits, far out to the forest! For many centuries ago Fontainebleau was the royal hunting lodge, that the great Emperor Napoleon fell in love with.
One night left in Bangkok and I pick a hotel that might as well be its own city. If you are looking for some luxury or simply don’t want to have to leave your hotel, Asia hotel is the one for you.
Hiking is not my strong point. As of late with my myriad of physical issues it can prove to be quite difficult. However I always want to do it. Even if it is not in my best interest. I have wised up. Starting bringing better sneakers ( sorry converse) and pacing myself.
You can never really understand a place until you set foot in it. Even then it takes time to explore and learn in order to really get a feel for a place. In my 2 weeks in France I saw only a small fraction of what it means to be French and live in France.
My introduction to Cambodia was passing through a dusty border patrol. With my bag on my back and the sun beating down I walked into the very small old office to get my passport stamped. With barely a look they stamped me and I headed back out into the humidity to find my bus.
I know everyone goes to Amsterdam to indulge in naked women and Mary Jane but I love Amsterdam for many other reasons. Don’t get me wrong, I spent my time in the Red Light District. You can’t go to Amsterdam and not take a walk ( or two or three) around the well known area.

Over the past 10 years travel has become a consistent part of my life. I am so used to being on the go that when I am home for long periods of time I often feel out of sorts. I itch to plan my next trip and I always yearn to be somewhere I am…
Attending my first blogging conference was intimidating. I had so many questions. Was I jumping the gun? My blog was (is) just a baby and I still feel like I don’t know the blogging world at all. Will it be worth flying all the way to Europe? Would I learn anything?
The idea of going to Scotland had always appealed to me. Even though I never got my letter to Hogwarts I was determined to find it while I was there. Okay, maybe that wasn’t what I was going to do with my time but it still felt magical to me. After all this is the…
Living on an island can be quite amazing. Living on Long Island can be overwhelming. With the city to the west there is always traffic and it seems like time speeds up and there is never enough of it to get anything done. Faster then a New York minute is a saying for a reason.
Basically I’m obsessed with food tours. After the one I did in Vietnam I can’t believe I havent done dozens of them already anywhere i go. Not only is it a great way to get to know the cuisine and try a lot of new things it is also a great way to get to…
