When we tell people we live in Bordeaux, the response is “Great wine, but what city do you live in?” Bordeaux is indeed one of the most famous wine regions in the world, but it’s also a city. A gorgeous honey-colored neoclassical city married with the remains of a medieval town…but that’s a story for […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: July 2016
I’m settling in to life in France. And everything I thought I knew about being an expat after seven years of living in Italy means diddly squat in France. It’s just different here. In Italy, I hung laundry outside to dry and tourists thought it was so photogenic. In France, it’s uncouth to hang your […]
5 Types of French Coffee, Explained
Once upon a time I wrote the still wildly popular guide to Italian coffees. After seven years of living in Italy and traveling around Europe, you think I’d be a pro at ordering coffee just about anywhere on this continent. But I’ve quickly come to realize that living in Italy only truly made me an […]
Romantic Getaway: Deep Water Cay
The Bahamas is one of my new top five favorite countries. When I jetted off there for an island-hopping two weeks back in October, I stayed at some of the most romantic places I’ve ever been. As couples strolled down beaches hand-in-hand and dined over candlelit dinner, I was missing Tim more than ever. Lucky […]
Luxury Glamping in the Sahara Desert
Tim and I had talked about a trip to Morocco for ages, it seemed. It’s a diverse country with everything from surfing to wine making, which can make trying to decide what to do on a week long trip to Morocco seem impossible. But ever since we had an incredible Bedouin experience camping in Jordan’s […]
3 Luxe Splurges for Your Rome Holiday
When in Rome! Which, to us, means putting the guide book down and stepping off the tourist trail. There’s no doubt that the Colosseum (even I couldn’t stay away after five previous visits to it), Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain and all the other must-see Roman attractions should be included in your Rome itinerary. But adding […]
10 Reasons to Love the Mandarin Oriental Marrakech
Unlike some of Marrakech’s other five star luxury hotels who seem to shout opulence, the Mandarin Oriental Marrakech whispers it. And honestly, we much preferred that over feeling like we were tiptoeing around a museum. Though each Mandarin Oriental around the world differs, their chic, yet relaxed decor is just one of the reasons they […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: June 2016
Welcome to a new series on Luxe Adventure Traveler. As you might have guessed if you read this post on deciding whether to move back to the good ‘ol US of A or flee to France, I opted for the grueling process of obtaining a French long stay visa and moved to the Wine Capital […]
5 French Bucket List Adventures
With a new home in the southwest of France for the next year or so, Exodus Travels asked me which French bucket list adventures I’d love to check off my list. Eternal planner that I am (when it comes to all things travel, anyway), I already have a list of my must-dos while I call […]
Eating Testaccio: Rome’s Foodie Neighborhood
As I sipped the most expensive Aperol Spritz I’ve ever had in Italy at a restaurant just because of its stellar location on a terrace overlooking the magnificent Colosseum in the Monti District, I seriously wondered how the tourists surrounding me could force down the awful looking plates of pizza and pasta being delivered to […]
