Madrid is built for foodies. The whole city loves to eat, and if you’re visiting, you’re bound to fall into the same category. As the gastronomic center of Spain, you’ll consume far too many calories during your visit. Before you start worrying about your diet, remember you’re on vacation and Madrid is the perfect place to […]
This time of year, it seems like political scandals are everywhere you look. I’m sick and tired of the election madness…except for that one day when I found myself campaigning to be president at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. This is the type of museum I usually have a self-imposed restraining order on.
The National Gallery Used to Suck But Now it Doesn’t Read More »
Stockholm stumped me. Stockholm is Europe’s prettiest city. With historic Scandinavian architecture on one side and water and islands on the other, it doesn’t matter where you look. There are parks and other green spaces, plus fountains, squares, cobblestone streets, and gold-numbered clocks. I love clocks, a tribute to the days before cell phones. A city
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tazo® Tea. All opinions are 100% mine. * * * Ever since I first saw a photo of Bruce Peninsula National Park, I knew I had to go. Some of the world’s clearest, bluest waters butt up against dramatic cliffs. When the

It’s really disheartening when you start to research a trip and realize that there isn’t much information. TripAdvisor only has a handful of listings of things to do in Skelleftea Sweden and most of them don’t have a review. Lonely Planet had even less to read and didn’t exactly inspire a trip. Maybe going to this
Fall in Virginia is the best time to visit. The state bursts with natural color, events, and weather too good to be true. I’m lucky enough to take advantage of weekend getaways, but it’s worth the trip even if you fly in. Trick or Treat in Richmond’s Fan As a former resident of “The Fan”
I’ve never been the type of person to comprehend things without feeling or touching them in some way, so even though I learned about communism years ago, I didn’t know what it was really like to live through it. The solution? SightDOING and a Krakow communism tour. I laughed a little when our Trabant pulled up to
You guys, I pride myself in knowing a few words in the local language of everywhere I go. I made locals smile in Cairo with my Arabic greetings and I picked up basic German quickly. Swedish, however, is a different story — and I was totally lost with figuring out Skellefteå pronunciation even though I spent 3
