autumn in iceland // part one
When we were planning our quick hop from London to Reykajvik to meet up with my sister & her boyfriend, the hubs and I knew a mini roadtrip was in order. Our itinerary was going to be a little wonky because they were flying into Reykjavik a day after us. This meant we couldn’t stray too far from the capital. Naturally, Inga from Tiny Iceland came to my rescue and suggested for our first time experiencing autumn in Iceland, we explore the south side. After our morning in Reykjavik, we headed back to our hotel to meet a rep from…

foodie break: philadelphia BYOBs
One of the best parts of being back in Philadelphia is the abundance of quality bring-your-own-bottle restaurants. It was only after moving away from the area years ago that I learned Philadelphia BYOBs are truly something special. I honestly had no idea that these really aren’t commonplace in other parts of the country.

As two people who love to go out, though can’t always afford to as much as we like, Sean and I…

Naturally, a return to Reykjavik was very much in order. So, when my little sister said she was hopping across the pond for a weeklong visit to Europe with her boyfriend, we offered to meet them in Iceland. We figured we could spend…

travel announcement (part two)! one week in switzerland for the wino
It’s been a really big year for me. I mean, really big. So it’s natural that I’m capping it all off with something else really big. One week in Switzerland, in all its Christmassy glory. In January, I married my handsome fiance. I had a year of travel firsts, from my trips to southern and northern California to our epic and life-changing #LTsouthafrica adventure. I spent time in London, re-discovered Spain, and spent many weekends toasting to dear friends at weddings, housewarmings, baby showers, and thirtieth birthday celebrations. Honestly, I could happily hang my hat after 2015, but unbelievably, it’s…
