22 Things I Learned From Running My First Marathon

If you read my blog regularly, you probably know that I ran my very first marathon last year. Running a marathon wasn’t on my bucket list. I never even considered myself a runner. In fact, up until a few years ago, I didn’t even know I liked running. When I crossed the finish line at […]

In 2009, I was not fit. I was not a hiker, and I most definitely was not prepared to hike Mount Olympus. For some reason I put these factors aside and signed up for a group trip to climb the tallest mountain in Greece. You would think I would start off with something a little […]

Andalusia is a part of Spain that I always associate with warmth, sunshine and beaches. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be skiing in Sierra Nevada. Just the weekend prior I darned my bikini at the beach! How To Get To Sierra Nevada Sierra Nevada is a short 45 minute […]

The perfectly strange but somehow it works, Japanese meets Lebanese bento lunch in Paris. I tried to stop by @mokonutsbakery without a reservation. Not happening, but lucky for me, the friendly owner directed me a few doors down to @mokochaya where they were just beginning their lunch service. Last weekend, I visited my friend’s new bar, food hall, club and most importantly social hub of Versailles, Sept Lieux. Sept Lieux is just a few steps from the famous Chateau de Versailles, housed in an unassuming building and former post office. They first opened in 2024 just in time for the Olympics, and this summer the fun is heating up. Stop and smell the roses my friends. 🌹Are you ready for King’s Day? Ps it’s on the 26th this year - don’t get caught by surprise. And yes, Amsterdam is about to look just like this. 😮 👑 🍊 🇳🇱 Tulips in Rhode Island. Should I move back home? #wickedtulips #wickedtulipsflowerfarm #rhodeislandlife #easterHiking Acatenango and Fuego volcanoes in Guatemala was one of the best experiences I had last year. Being this close to an active volcano, mind blowing. 🤯 Maybe a trip to the mountains doesn’t solve all your problems, but it certainly makes them feel small. Reminiscing with# some footage. Read the full experience over on my blog, link in profile. Last February I went snorkeling and diving in Belize. We visited Hopkins and Caye Caulker and went snorkeling and diving with a few different companies. Caye Caulker was the clear winner! Amsterdam Light Festival 2024. Edition 13, theme rituals is lit until January 19th. Walk, bike or cruise ✨We visited the little Christmas Market at the Tofta Manor just outside of Gothenburg, Sweden. How cute and cozy and freezing it was. Christmas gifts, local goods, crafts and even pony rides for the tots. 🧑‍🎄
