I’ve been obsessing over Bergen for a few years now. Like many of the things I can’t get off my mind, I’m not really sure when I started to think about it, or how I even heard about it, but its been nagging at the back of my mind for quite some time.When our initial …
It had never occurred to me that a hotel could also be a World Heritage sight. But alas, it can be. And of course, when I had the opportunity to stay in one during my recent trip to Sicily, I snapped up the chance. Villa Trigona is about a mile outside of the small, stunning …
A long while back, a good friend of mine talked about a trip she took in which she toured olive oil plantations in Southern Italy. Ever since, I’ve been feeling serious wander envy.Just last year, my flatmate went to Sicily and came back with stunning photos of Mt Etna, and even better stories. So, I …
Last Updated 5/30/2016 One amazing thing about Europe is the preponderance of inexpensive air carriers that get people from one country to another on the continent. I’ve taken huge advantage of cheap air travel to get to many places in Europe, and will keep this list of short reviews updated based on my cumulative experiences …
Inspired by the fact that we had a car and a few days to kill, B. and I decided to branch out from our tour of touristy Split, Hvar, Korcula and Dubrovnik in Croatia and take the road less traveled. As it turns out, its the road less traveled unless you’re a Montenegrin speed demon with …
Croatia has been on my “to go” list for quite some time. After seeing Game of Thrones, and going to Malta, I expedited it straight to the top of the list. Clear water and lovely beaches? I needed that after my road trip through the USA and Iceland. Coming in to land over Split I …
I fly Icelandair relatively frequently in the summer months. If I need to get to the States or Canada, and need to do it cheaply, Icelandair is my first port of call. Besides the layover in Iceland, which I used to love, but now find kind of annoying if I’m in a rush to get …
I just love flying with Icelandair. They let you layover in Iceland for up to seven days on a transatlantic flight. I have taken advantage of this amazing perk before. But that was then. It had been a long time, and many, many transatlantic flights, so I decided it was high time I visit the …
As a member of Hotels.com, I tend to start there when looking for a place to stay. After all, after 10 nights, I get one night free. Traveling a lot, this is not a deal to trifle with. Therefore, when I had to go to San Francisco for work, I started my search with affordable, …
After leaving San Francisco, I headed back East to spend a month at home. Well…kind of at home. Homeward trips are so rare for me these days that when I’m even in the vicinity, I tend to try to catch up with people from the entire eastern seaboard (or, in this case, as far west …
