Roadtripping Through Iceland

By |2021-05-05T19:47:34+00:00February 16th, 2016||

Over the past couple months, I noticed more and more of my photographer friends were visiting Iceland. Even more of the Instagrammers I follow were visiting, too. No doubt this is because the scenery here is stunning–with tall, snowy mountains, winding dirt roads, tall pine trees and striking black beaches. Iceland is a no-fail, ...

Ojai, California

By |2021-01-06T16:59:51+00:00January 14th, 2016||

Ojai is a small, sleepy town nestled at the foot of the Topatopa Mountains in Ventura County, California. Just two hours and 80 miles northwest of L.A., it's quickly becoming a destination–not only for Los Angolans, but also drawing in creative types from places like Brooklyn, Denver, and Austin. So what's the draw? First, ...

Paradise in Granada, Nicaragua

By |2021-01-06T14:48:23+00:00January 13th, 2016||

Last August, my husband and I sealed the deal, getting married in Phoenicia before heading to Nicaragua for nine days. We picked our honeymoon based on a single Instagram photo we’d seen: a woman floating in a black rubber tube, in a pool that overlooked a lush, green mountain. The photo encompassed the things we wanted in ...

Roadtrip from Nashville to Cookeville, TN

By |2023-07-16T13:16:22+00:00December 3rd, 2015||

On our last roadtrip from Dallas to Austin, Denny and I explored both cities and their outskirts over a six day jaunt. During those six days, we stayed in four different Airbnbs, swam in a natural spring, caught some bands, sampled local craft beers, and ate way too many tacos. We also met another travel ...

A New Yorker’s Guide to Tulum, Mexico

By |2021-05-05T20:28:14+00:00November 17th, 2015||

Tulum is a unique gem in Mexico’s Riviera Maya district, an area on the Caribbean coastline of Quintana Roo known mostly as a destination for all-inclusive resort and boutique hotels. While one can certainly take a luxurious, relaxation-filled trip to Tulum, the vibrant town offers limitless possibilities for a more adventurous, hands-on ...

Fort Collins, Colorado

By |2021-05-05T20:31:48+00:00October 31st, 2015||

On short notice, my husband Kai and I decided to visit my folks out in Fort Collins, Colorado. We make the trip out west once to twice a year, because besides our family, it’s one of our favorite places to visit. Colorado is one of those states with countless destinations–some of the ...

Roadtrip from Dallas to Austin, TX

By |2021-05-05T20:34:26+00:00October 15th, 2015||

Denny and I were a little stumped after a wedding invitation to Dallas landed in our mailbox. The only associations we had with it were thanks to the television show, their football team, and the Dallas BBQ in the East Village in New York City. Admittedly, Dallas isn't high on many people's bucket lists–but ...

Southwest Escape: West Texas to New Mexico

During February of 2014, Denny and I embarked on our first-ever Southwest adventure. He grew up in Phoenix, so we went out to meet his folks and do a mini-roadtrip. It was amazing. This year, we wanted to explore the west again but in a slightly different setting–and ended up deciding on West Texas and New Mexico. The scenery was absolutely ...
