Gstaad – come up, slow down. The moment we set foot in this charming Swiss village that Julie Andrews has called “the last paradise in a crazy world,” the meaning of Gstaad’s slogan was immediately clear. Pine chalets topped with snow like icing on a cake, spectacular alpine views, and nary a sound but soft […]
Tips for Surviving Acqua Alta in Venice
Acqua Alta, which literally translates to high water, typically occurs in the winter months in Venice. Due to a combination of the amounts of rain northern Italy receives in winter, strong southerly winds, the tides, and even the movement of the sea, Venice is at risk for flooding when the water rises in the Venetian […]
The Best Eats in NYC’s Chinatown and Little Italy
Every time my mom and I plan a trip to New York City, she inevitably asks me if we’re going to go to Chinatown. She absolutely loved her visit to San Francisco’s Chinatown in the ’90s. I, however, was skeptical and kept avoiding it for years. After all, I live in Italy so never want […]
To Ride or Not Ride an Elephant in Thailand?
I didn’t honestly know much about Asian elephants and their situation before our trip to Anantara Golden Triangle to take part in their elephant researcher program. As our trip got closer, several blogger friends talked to me about a video they had seen of baby elephants being tortured in order for their mahouts to ride […]

A Glam Getaway to Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan
Our boat bounced along the Gulf of Thailand as we sped toward the remote island of Koh Phangan. Like that scene in Jurassic park as the helicopter zooms toward Isla Nublar, an island with craggy cliffs, dense jungle, and idyllic coves of white sand loomed before us. The island is most known for its world […]
Cooking Tasty Thai Dishes at Anantara Spice Spoons
What is the best souvenir you can bring home from Thailand? For us, it was the recipes and techniques we learned from a Thai chef at our cooking class at Anantara Spice Spoons at Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan! After a week of eating delicious curries at nearly every meal, we were very excited to learn […]
Chiang Rai’s Night Market
Though we hear that Chiang Rai’s Night Market is a much smaller version of the famous one in Chiang Mai, we really enjoyed our visit. Night markets are one of the most popular things for Thais to do; it is so hot during the day so it is much more pleasant to do your shopping […]
Skiing at Austria’s Nassfeld Ski Resort
We live less than two hours away from the world class ski resorts in the Italian Dolomites, so you might wonder why we would want to go anywhere else. Conveniently for us, Austria can be easily reached in two hours as well. Nassfeld Ski Resort is one of the top ski resorts in Austria. Being […]
