Journaling The Journey
The wind whispers tales across emerald-green cliffs that plunge dramatically into the churning North Atlantic. Sheep with an almost reckless sense of balance graze on rooftop-high carpets of grass. These are the Faroe Islands, a place that feels like it’s perched on the very edge of the world, a raw, untamed archipelago that promises an […]
Sardinia is an absolutely magical island. Just the name itself conjures up images of sparkling turquoise waters, pristine sands, and rugged coastlines that rival the world’s most exotic destinations. Indeed, we would argue that Sardinia has the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, if not the entire world. Many folks have even drawn […]
Forget what you think you know about Sardinia, the second biggest island in the Mediterranean. Beyond the postcard-perfect beaches lies an island of fierce pride, ancient traditions, and a raw, untamed beauty that truly inspired and awed us. Italy is our favorite country for many reasons and we have traveled through all of it for […]
The unique island of Corsica truly dazzled and amazed us! It is a mountain fortress cloaked in emerald forests, plunging into a sea of impossible blues and greens. It’s an island of whispered histories, where ancient stone villages cling to granite peaks and the scent of wild maquis (native scrubland) hangs heavy in the air. […]
Corsica in a word is stunning! The name itself conjures images of raw, mountainous landscapes crashing into a sea of impossible blues. The French call it “L’Île de Beauté” – the Isle of Beauty – and nowhere is this more evident than along its coastline. But with so many options, how do you find the […]

But with five distinct villages, each with […]
Madrid in a Day, can it really be done? The answer is a resounding yes. Of course this super walkable and lively city deserves a lot more time. However, if you just have one day in Madrid, then let’s maximize it and pack as much as possible into this fabulous city visit. I have spent […]
Madrid, the buzzing capital of Spain, is one of my favorite cities. I have been coming here since the 1980’s when my Mom and I decided to spend a summer traipsing through Europe together. Ah, such great memories…. When visiting Madrid, it’s tempting to stay inside the capital’s lively plazas and art museums. But some […]
Rob and I have been visiting London since the early 1990’s when we traveled for over a year with our toddler son. This city has grown and morphed through the decades to become one of the most exquisite and walkable cities in the world! Although this 2 days in London itinerary doesn’t include everything – […]
The Afitos Kassandra Greece Peninsula is one of those super special places where you are close to amenities yet still quite remote (if you want to be). Our favorite thing to do here is settle into one of the great guesthouses near Afitos Beach and wander the peninsula surrounded by crystal clear water and white […]
