Putting together our annual best places to travel list takes us months. We travel far and wide in search of the best of the best: the most incredible destinations, to die for food, bucket list worthy activities and, of course, wine so good you’ll remember every last drop. It’s tough to narrow down all the […]
Marche de Noel Bordeaux
Each winter Allées de Tourny is transformed in to a charming Christmas village with over 130 wooden chalets serving up holiday favorites like roasted chestnuts and mulled wine (vin chaud here in France) and selling wares from artisans all over the Aquitaine region that make the perfect Christmas gifts. I live just a two minute […]
5 Reasons to Attend Filzmoos Balloon Week
Being married in a hot air balloon will turn you into a balloon enthusiast, especially when you are about to celebrate your eleventh wedding anniversary and you have yet to actually fly in a hot air balloon together. We may still be waiting for our very special first flight after an extremely windy wedding morning […]
Ljubljana Christmas Market
We stopped in Ljubljana, a mere two hours from Venice, on a whim on our way home from the Advent in Zagreb Christmas Market. The snow had lightly began to fall, it was misty and foggy, and it was freezing outside. We considered just driving right on by, and oh, how glad I am that […]
The Joie de Vivre at Chateau Prieure Marquet
Joie de vivre is quite literally the joy of living and I can’t think of a more fitting description for my stay at Chateau Prieure Marquet. Once a neglected château and vineyard nestled between Saint-Émilion and Libourne, it has been lovingly restored under the ownership of Bernard Canonne. Now it’s a luxury boutique hotel that […]
An Alpine Holiday at the Annecy Christmas Market
Europe’s Christmas markets elicit thoughts of Germany or Austria, hot mugs of gluhwein and sausages sizzling on grills in tiny wooden houses. But it’s not just Germany and Austria that have Christmas markets worthy of a trip to Europe. France puts on her festive holiday best too, and though Strasbourg is home to France’s most […]
A Guide to the Best Places to Eat in Rome from a Local
I met Gillian on a press trip last summer to the Amalfi and Cilento Coasts. She’s a fellow American who came to live in Italy through her husband’s job, just as I had. Based in Rome {in an apartment with a view of the Colosseum, no less}, Gillian was living out every fantasy I ever […]

A Foodie Getaway at Bordeaux’s Smallest Winery
Bordeaux is synonymous with the finest wines in the world, but it’s a city that is also fast becoming a haven of culinary delights. With star chefs like Gordon Ramsay, who opened his second Bordeaux restaurant earlier this year, and an influx of young, innovative chefs, the restaurant scene has come to life. It wasn’t […]
Foire aux Plaisirs: The Bordeaux Fun Fair
I love discovering the traditions of my new home, Bordeaux. And the latest one just rolled in to town. Foire aux Plaisirs, which basically means fun or pleasure fair, is a tradition that has been happening twice a year on the Place des Quinconces since 1854. Though, I imagine that 160 years ago when the […]
