Wine has been produced in Santorini since ancient times, and being one of the only wine regions to escape the grape phylloxera makes Santorini the oldest wine region in the world.

Tallinn Wool Market
I loved the quaintness of Tallinn’s Old Town and wandering through the fairytale like city, but a girl still likes to shop! I was immediately drawn in to the colorful wool knits in the stalls at the outdoor Tallinn Wool Market. Estonian craftswomen set up shop to sell their hand knitted products in the shadows […]
Tallinn’s Old Town

Castelvecchio: The Friuli Winery That Was Once a WWI Battleground
We seemingly find ourselves at a lot of wineries steeped in history, like Faust Wine Cellar in the vast labyrinth system beneath Buda Castle that served as escape routes in the middle ages. But World War I and World War II history feels like current history and Azienda Agricola Castelvecchio Winery served as a glorious […]
10 Things to do on Catalina Island
Located just 26 miles across the Pacific from Los Angeles, Santa Catalina Island is an easy-to-reach getaway that felt worlds away from the hustle and bustle of California. Known as LA’s leisure isle, lounge-on-a-beach travelers we are not. We like an active holiday and some adventure is a requirement. Ever the short-break travelers, we spent […]
