I have celebrated my faux 29th birthday again and again…and again. When I officially entered my mid-thirties, it was time to just embrace it.

Andorra: The Best Ski Holiday You Never Heard Of
Andorra is tucked snugly in the Pyrenees between France and Spain. It’s one of those tiny countries we honestly didn’t know much about, and for many years the draw was simply to check it off on our quest to visit every country in Europe. I nearly booked a day trip two years ago when I […]
A Romantic Escape at Villa La Tosca
European beaches have long failed to impress us. Those rows and rows of striped umbrellas might make for a nice aerial photo, but being packed on to a beach and being able to bump elbows with our fellow sun worshipers as though we’re in a teeny Parian café is pretty much my definition of hell […]
Do-It-Yourself City Tours with GPSmyCity

Luggage Free, a luggage shipping company, reached out to introduce me to their service and ask me to review it. […]

I Googled endlessly and didn’t find any information that was actually helpful in this process, so you get to benefit from the tears shed, stress […]
Chateau Haut-Sarpe: The Versailles of Saint-Émilion
