press trip plans this summer

Bohemian Trails Goes Global

May 7, 2012

While most of the time I’m happily based in New York City, this travel writing bohemian has a busy couple of months coming up and I wanted to share my plans with everyone.

May: Israel

This spring I’ll be spending two weeks in Israel on behalf of Israel Tourism. As part of their blogger trip, we will be traveling to Tel Aviv, Haifa, Galilee and Jerusalem. I’ve decided to stay a few extra days to enjoy the beaches of Tel Aviv and to also visit Nazareth and Bethlehem.

June: Finland, Germany, London

I’m off to a busy start to my summer in June when I’ll be spending a week in Finland followed by close to two weeks in Germany. Visit Finland‘s “Blog around the clock – during Finnish Midnight Sun” even involves a Bohemian evening, which I’m naturally very excited about.

Germany Tourism has a fantastic global art and culture itinerary in place, covering Dresden, Leipzig, Nuremberg, Frankfurt and a few added days in Berlin. I’m then off to spend a week in London just for fun. London is my second home so I’m looking forward to seeing my old friend again.

July: Paris

The first week of July will be my actual “vacation”. To celebrate our one-year anniversary, my boyfriend and I are spending a week in Paris, eating as many crepes as we please. While it’s hard for me to switch from travel writing mode to holiday mode, we are both going to try our very best to do just that.

There is a high probability that I will be in Jamaica near the end of July, although I’m still confirming everything.

August: Norway

It appears that I simply can’t get enough of Norway which is why I’ll be going back in August on behalf of Visit Norway. Having missed out on an art and architectural themed trip in early July due to scheduling conflicts, my individual trip will cover the same basis. Norway has quickly become one of my favorite countries and I can’t wait to see the country without snow.

September: Austria, Spain

This September, I’ll be headed to Austria on behalf of Austria Tourism for my first official individual press trip. I will be traveling through Vienna, Salzburg, Graz and the Wachau Valley. I’m particularly looking forward to my days in Graz, as it has a distinctly mediterranean flair and architectural contradictions.

I’m then planning on attending TBEX in Costa Brava, Spain. I’ll be missing the Colorado event this June so I’m very much looking forward to spending a few days in Spain and meeting other bloggers in real life.

Exploring Sicily’s Food and Wine Scene with WalkingWomen

22 November, 2023 No Comments

As someone who used to travel full-time, a lot has changed for me in the past few years. Pandemic aside, I’ve been more intentional about where, and how often, I travel. A big part of that has to do with finding beauty in what I used to view as mundane; things like a morning routine

Memories from My Childhood Summers in Charleston—Plus 5 Sights to See

4 May, 2021 No Comments

For about six or seven summers in a row, my family would make the car drive from our home in the D.C. suburbs to Charleston, South Carolina. While my dad’s family hailed from the Boston area, my mom’s family had southern roots and on summers when we couldn’t visit both sides of the family, we’d

Here’s Why I Want to Visit Kerala (and you should, too)!

10 March, 2020 No Comments

Every so often, I write about a destination I haven’t been to. As much as I love recounting trips and sharing my experiences here on Bohemian Trails, I also love to dream; dream about people and places I’ve never crossed paths with. That’s the traveler in me, the explorer that believes in the magic of

My Favorite Caribbean Islands to Escape to This Winter

25 February, 2020 No Comments

Winter is in full swing, which means that there’s still time to plan that weekend getaway. An east-coaster from birth and having lived in New York for seven years, the Caribbean remains my go-to winter destination. In many cases, you’ll find direct flights (or nearly direct) and within a few hours, you are on a
