I visited Lisbon Portugal during the colder off-season, and was one of just a few tourists around.
Through my own travels, I've learned the art of curating authentic experiences and fostering genuine connections with the people and places around me. Read on as I highlight some of my favorite authentic travel experiences and share tips for how you can cultivate some of your own.
Me, peering out over the Seattle Waterfront, wondering how the heck Hom Bow tastes so good.
Seattle is lovingly referred to as The Emerald City because of its lush, year-round greenery. This Pacific Northwest paradise is also a food lover's dream. Its diverse culinary scene draws from its rich cultural influences - and the abundance of fresh, local ingredients available in the region.
Along with my goals for language learning (parli italiano?) and fitness, I have hopes and dreams for travel in 2024. Here I outline six destinations across two continents that I hope to visit this year.
The Portland Head Light is the most photographed lighthouse in America. It’s also the first place I traveled to this year.
All in all, 2023 was an absolute joy for me. This was the first year where I was truly comfortable traveling in a post-pandemic world. I was also forced to grow as my priorities shifted. Looking back on the last 12 months, I almost don’t recognize the 25-year-old who carried me halfway through the year. That’s a sign of a year well-lived.
Where I spent most of my weekend.
I was going to spend my weekend hiking in the Berkshires, which is the epicenter of fall foliage in New England and just a 3-hour drive from Boston. Sounds like a great plan, right? Well, I didn’t do it, and here’s why.
I organized these hikes based on intensity so you can have an idea of what you’ll be getting into should you choose to join me on the trail.
Here I walk you through how I built out the travel scrapbook entry for my trip to Lisbon in early 2023. By outlining the steps I take for creating an entry, I hope to inspire you to create a travel scrapbook of your own. So join me as I dive into the world of printed images, glue sticks, and crumbled receipts.
Whether you're an explorer yearning to see this city’s diversity, a foodie seeking culinary delights, or a nature-lover eager to meander through lush urban parks and waterfront trails, I’m sure that Toronto will have something to captivate you.
I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2019, but that doesn’t prevent me from enjoying travel in a safe way.
My diagnosis poses some logistical and psychological barriers to care-free travel. However, I've learned a lot and have managed to explore beautiful and diverse parts of this world while protecting my health.
One of the many stunning views along the San Diego coastline.
