Oh to travel. Oh to dream. Her first trip in ages. She was feasting on everything through all her senses. This was living. This was to live. She was even doing a dance. Standing on her tippy toes. Yet, something gnawed at her. She would have to leave […]
I’m a New Yorker. I’m used to cramped spaces. We do not gave California closets. If we do, I’m sure that unfortunately some rent it out as a $1,000 room. I may be slightly exaggerating. Only slightly. In NYC, everything is cramped. Most other spaces in the United […]
I finally did it. I went on vacation. The fact that I have kept myself off of wi-fi, social media amd the like has been freeing and phenomenal. One day I called American Airlines and said let’s use my ticket credits to go away – anywhere. I had […]

About a decade ago, I was in Vienna for a conference. Upon landing, I immediately dropped my bags off at the hotel and went wandering. I’m quite lucky in that I tend to not suffer from jet lag. I can land and run a marathon. Well, that’s an […]
I love ttqvel. I love immersinh myself within new norms. I love eating new foods. Travel is learning, catharsis and a precious gift. Not everyone can do it or do it often. Which is why certain television shows are so important. I was rewatching one of Anthony Bourdain’s […]
