Soaking in the San Fran Sunshine
While this title may confuse my local San Francisco readers, compared to New York, the California weather felt refreshingly warm. My last trip to the Bay Area was just last August when I explored scenic San Mateo County and Silicon Valley but I haven’t been to the downtown San Francisco in almost three years. My
Fashion Week from the Front Row
If there was one thing I remember pondering during my very first New York Fashion Week it was “wow, I wonder what it feels like to sit front row”. Well, fast-forward just a few years and here I am, sitting in the front row end of runway eagerly waiting for the Ivana Helsinki runway show
Bohemian Trails Gets Hitched
I’m not sure how or why it happened but somewhere along the line I got everything I ever wanted and so much more. In all honesty, I’ve been mulling over whether or not to make this announcement at all. I know other writers who quickly shared their happy news with their readers, and while I
Sweet and Savory Sarasota
To say that I ate well in Sarasota would be a major understatement. Designed for serious foodies, our itinerary primarily focused on the agritourism aspects of Sarasota.

The Colorful Faces Of Sarasota
As if proving the point that sometimes the most cultural destinations are right under your nose, Sarasota surprised me. I had been here once before but my time mainly consisted of hitting the beach and working on my non-existant tan. Yet, this time around I saw a whole different side of Sarasota: One bursting with
5 Reasons To Visit The Islamic Republic of Mauritania
This is a guest post from Will Wolf, who runs Wills Blog Of Travel And Life. The Islamic Republic of Mauritania–neatly sandwiched between Morocco, Mali, Algeria, Senegal, and the sweep of the Atlantic Ocean–is not one frequented by many travelers, and honestly, why should it be? Covered mostly by desert, with the vast majority of women
Finding My Trail of Personal Inspiration
You might have noticed that I’ve been posting less frequently than usual – and that’s true but for good reason.
