I had a ball re-discovering America. In this first blog of the series, I’m going to share my itinerary and highlights […]

Places of natural wonders and cultural significance. Places of exceptional architecture and of outstanding universal value. That’s how UNESCO is characterizing World Heritage Sites. Did you know there are 89 of them in Africa – spread across 33 countries? I was lucky enough to visit a third of them so far and would like to […]
I have wanted to visit Nashville, forever. Visiting Nashville, Tennessee with my son, the musician was super exciting. Allow me to share this itinerary with you. First, I have to tell you, I’m a little embarrassed. Other than passing through Nashville a few times to head to the airport, I hadn’t REALLY visited this great […]
Muscle Shoals is a small town located in North Alabama and has been made famous by the likes of Lynyrd Skynrd, Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, George Michael, Willie Nelson, and many, many more musicians. You can visit these historic recording studios still today. My favorite place to visit in the #shoals is the Marriott […]
This small town girl was so excited to get a chance to go home this month and visit the north country. That’s what we call it when you’re from “up-up-state, New York.” We swept through the Adirondacks, tacked on Vermont and hit Montreal, Canada. (Montreal blog is coming out soon.) Day tripping around northern New […]

Port of Spain is the capital of Trinidad & Tobago and the economical center of the island state. At first sight you might think there is not much to see and do but that’s certainly not the case. Port of Spain is not just business buildings but has plenty of heritage as well. Make sure […]
My Caribbean trip this year was dedicatedto exploring the Dutch Caribbean. I hopped the various Dutch islands. In Sint Maarten I stayed at Sonesta Ocean Point Resort which is an adult only hotel. Their sister property Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino which is family oriented is next door where I stayed as well due […]
My trip to Trinidad & Tobago was the first long haul trip post-pandemic and a logical choice because KLM, my favourite airline, started direct flights from Amsterdam. Trinidad has several luxury hotels but after careful selection Hyatt Regency Port of Spain was my choice. The Hyatt Regency Trinidad is in the capital Port of Spain […]
I look forward to writing this post every year, as it always kicks my wanderlust into high gear. Last year was a little weird, to be honest, but I’m super excited about the list I have for you for where to travel in 2022…some are chill vacation ideas, others adventure, several involve alcohol, and there’s […]
