Travel, eat, repeat.
After an introduction to Slovenia in Ljubljana, a four-day hiking adventure at Triglav and a short stint at Lake Bled, I was ready for an even slower pace… and some wine. Goriska Brda is the perfect place for that. The takeaway: If you’re looking for the “Tuscany of Slovenia” without Italian crowds (or prices), this […]
I visited Lake Bled with friends immediately after hiking Triglav in early July. I’ll be honest: I worried one day wouldn’t be enough to see it all. The takeaway: One day is actually the perfect amount of time. Since the “to-do” list isn’t overwhelming, it’s the ideal spot for a slow-travel reset after a high-energy […]
Before we headed off to hike the mountains of Triglav and explore the vineyards of Goriška Brda, we started our trip with one day in Ljubljana. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know what to expect and wasn’t overly enthusiastic, but one day in Ljubljana was surprisingly refreshing. The takeaway: Ljubljana is a totally walkable city. […]
I don’t know about you, but I eat pizza at least once a week. A week without pizza is almost as bad as a week without sunshine – and we get a lot of those in Amsterdam. Lucky for me, rain or shine, this city has plenty of delicious pizza. As a local, I’ve done the […]

Paris, the most romantic city on earth. On my latest Paris trip with the girls, I decided to slow down a bit and sip up the stunning views at the Luxembourg Gardens and the Eiffel Tower with my new travel tea pot—and a friend in tow. This is how to brew up the most perfect […]
Little Eden is a newer sport climbing crag near Vathy in Kalymnos, first set in 2019 – and yes it’s paradise. Climbing at Little Eden was one of the highlights of a recent trip to Kalymnos. The routes are relatively short about 20-25 meters, and catch shade around noon. It’s the perfect place to go if […]

Kalymnos has excellent food and loads of options. I’ve visited Kalymnos many times over the last few years, here are my favorite places to eat in Kalymnos if you […]
