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 […]
Touring Marrakech in a Ural Sidecar
Marrakech is an assault on your senses. And I mean that in the best way possible. It’s a city that the scents of spices waft across the air. While you’re looking around trying to figure out where the scents are coming from, the man carrying the live chickens catches your eye. Meanwhile, the sounds of […]
Rome’s Crypts, Bones and Catacombs
With larger-than-life monuments like the Colosseum and the Victor Emmanuel II Monument, it’s easy to get distracted with so much to look at when visiting Rome. But there’s so much more to the Eternal City than meets the eye. Rome is like a lasagna. With each new era, a new layer was built on top […]
Tasting the Original Tiramisu at Le Beccherie
Many so-called Italian dishes aren’t really Italian at all. Spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parmesan and loads of other dishes you’ll find on the menus of many Italian restaurants in the United States are modifications of classic Italian recipes because immigrants had to work with the ingredients they had. I always thought that tiramisu, perhaps the […]
Conquering Fears and Getting Dive Certified
Getting dive certified is something Tim and I have talked about doing for the better part of at least 10 years now. We even ordered the books and had planned to do an Open Water Diver certification course in Malta when we first moved to Europe. But life got in the way and after realizing […]
Boutique Urban Cool: Brown Beach House Tel Aviv
When a glass of Champagne is in my hand within seconds of stepping foot in the door, it’s a pretty good indication I’m going to have a great stay. And that was definitely the case at the new boutique-urban-cool Brown Beach House Tel Aviv, sister hotel to the Brown Tel Aviv. Actually, it was my […]
How I Got My Long Stay Visa for France
In 2015, I decided I wanted to move to France. Tim’s job would be taking him on an assignment for a year and I couldn’t come along. I hadn’t lived in the United States in seven years at that point and didn’t have a “home” to return to. Italy had been my home, but I […]
Hot Air Ballooning in Marrakech
I held my breath as the balloon lifted off the ground. In the silence, the first beams of sunlight began to peek over the top of the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains. It was breathtaking and I couldn’t quite believe we were actually hot air ballooning in Marrakech. It almost didn’t happen. If you know our […]
