Our first full day at Fljotstunga Traveller’s Farm, we enjoyed a few of the many delights that the farm and surrounding area offered. For such a remote place (I literally think I was the farthest away from a population of over 500,000 that I have ever been in my life- New Mexico and other remote …
Our second full day in Iceland was dominated by a trip to the Blue Lagoon, a geothermally-heated collection of pools about 45 minutes south of Reykjavik. The warmth was welcome since we were thrown into winter temps after the end of summer in the USA! Located in the middle of a lava field, it was …
If you’re keeping up with me on Instagram or Facebook, you have noticed I’ve spent the past week in Iceland. Icelandair run a great promotion where you can layover in Iceland on any transatlantic flight, so I took full advantage by booking a week in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall on the way to Jokulsarlon I’m …
One of the traditions my mom and I have when I come home to visit is to drive about partway through the state to Pippin Hill Farm and Vineyard, a small, new winery near Charlottesville. Not only is the drive absolutely breathtaking as you drive out of the city and into the mountains, the food …
If you’ve been following me on Instagram you know I just spent 18 hours in NYC. Phew, I can’t believe I survived! After landing back in DC, my childhood home, and catching up with the few remaining friends I had in the area, I decided to make a day trip up to the city that …
I personally believe there is a big difference between being a tourist and being a traveler. When I go to different places, I try my best to be the latter. (Disclaimer: I don’t think there is anything wrong with being a tourist, it just isn’t really my thing.) When I travel, I like to try …
I’m a huge history buff. Huge. That’s why when I was given the opportunity to go to Paraty, a colonial city four hours from Rio de Janeiro, I jumped at the chance. This sleepy little city was founded by the Portuguese in the 1600s, and a lot of the architecture and history reveals its old, …
The best thing about my experience in Brazil is that everyone is so warm and friendly. Everyone I’ve met has been nothing but excited to help me (a lot) with my Portuguese, talk to me in English when my Portuguese fails (after the first word) and show me their home. And what a truly spectacular …
I can’t believe I’ve been away from Careful Feet for over a week. It all goes back to the age old question: when a blogger is on vacation, does that mean a vacation from the blog as well? In this case, it would appear so. And as sorry as I am not to have been …
Last week I had to go to LA for business. I really love the beach- and truly miss it since moving to Denver- and am absolutely obsessed with the mishmash of palm trees, mountains, desert and greenery that the LA area is so rife with. However, one thing I don’t love about LA is the …
