The Weekend Files: Segovia – A Photo Essay

I’ve traveled to a few places in my life that just cannot be described in words.  There’s no appropriate word or phrase to describe the vivacity of the colors, the interesting yet often complicated history, the warmth of the people and the intricate architecture. Segovia is one of those...

The Weekend Files: Hiking in Cercedilla, Spain

So I’ve been a resident of Madrid for 5 weeks now (how did THAT happen) and although I absolutely love living in the heart of the city, I was starting to go a little stir crazy. I missed changing leaves, fresh mountain air and feeling soreness in my legs...

The BEST walking tour of Madrid

I know it goes against some blogger rules to use words like “hate”, “best”, “worst”, “hottest”, etc. because they are terms that are impossible to measure (seriously PR people, how do you KNOW that your hotel is the “hottest”?), but when I come across a service that happens to...

Six sinless activities in the mythical city of Las Vegas

Rarely do I come across a place that I simply do not understand but I have to admit, Las Vegas is one of those places.  Earlier this month I spent an ENTIRE week in *Las Vegas (I can’t recommend staying there for more than four days); my first visit...

A helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon

Part of me feels like a terrible American because I had never visited the Grand Canyon before last week.  It’s not like I hadn’t tried!  The last time I was in Arizona, a freak snowstorm caused the south rim of the Canyon to close and seemingly dash my hopes of...

Food Friday: Eating my way through North Carolina

What you are about to see is embarrassing.  Only for the simple fact that I’m about to disclose to you the unbelievable…yet necessary (haha, lies) amount of food I’ve eaten in the past five days.
