Getting Crafty in Emilia-Romagna
Italy is almost synonymous with food and that’s especially true in the Emilia-Romagna region. During the course of the week, I had the chance to get crafty and I enjoyed every minute of it. Below are five of my favorite interactive experiences that I recommend for any bohemian traveler heading to Northern Italy. In a perfect
Eating My Way Through Bologna and Beyond
How do I even begin to explain Bologna’s vibrant food scene? Seriously, I actually went clothing shopping pre-trip and bought an extra pair of jeans (in the next size up) and comfy stretchy pants because I knew I’d eat everything in sight upon arriving in Italy. In case you’re wondering if I succeeded in that goal, I most certainly did. However,
Relaxing in Bologna’s Countryside
During my week in Emilia-Romagna, I spent just as much time wandering through the cobbled city streets as I did basking outside in the countryside and that proved a perfect balance. This particular region really caters to travelers seeking interactive experiences, especially those relating to cuisine and crafts. Luckily, I got to explore both art and the art of food. It
Beautiful Bikes and Pretty Italian Streets
Even though the bulk of my Italy trip revolved around eating glorious handmade pasta and sipping on Sangiovese, I had to walk off all this deliciousness somehow, right? If you’ve ever read some of my Boho Guides, you know that I’m a huge fan of bike fashion so of course I had to snap a few photos

How to Find Wanderlust in Everyday Life
As a travel writing professional, it might seem strange that I’d write a post about how to find wanderlust in everyday life. Yet, even travel writers can suffer from writer’s block and other struggles (read my last post). Plus, besides moving to the San Francisco Bay Area earlier this year, I really haven’t been traveling
How to Avoid Writer’s Block on the Road
For the last month and a half, I’ve done something I rarely do: sit still. January through March tend to be slow months for me travel-wise but I’m actually enjoying my time “off” so to speak. As any writer or blogger might tell you, it’s very rare to actually stop working. In fact, some of
From New York to California: Everything has Changed
For as long as I’ve known my husband, we’ve been toying with the idea of moving out west to the Silicon Valley / San Francisco Bay Area. He’s a tech entrepreneur so it’s fairly obvious why he wanted to move here but for me, it was mostly to have a change of scenery since I’m
Street Art Guide to Clarion Alley
As great as the weather is in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’ve been missing the street art that I got so used to seeing near my apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn. With that in mind, I headed to the trendy Mission District for a stroll through the mural-packed Clarion Alley, located between Valencia and Mission
The Top 5 Adventures on my Bucket List
Late last month I had the pleasure of being on two panels: Northeastern Getaways with OffMetro at The New York Travel Show and a story telling panel at The Travel Marketing Summit hosted by Cooperatize. When I started Bohemian Trails nearly four years ago, never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be invited
