You guys. I’ve been saving up all my miles/Avios for this moment. 4 years ago, I flew economy from DFW to HKG and had one of those Scarlett O’Hara “I’ll never be hungry again!” moments where I decided then and there to never fly economy to Asia again. Happy to say I stayed true to…

When choosing a dive resort, there are so many options available. I narrowed things down to Bonaire (so hard to get to), Roatan, and Belize, and saw that Frenchie’s in Belize had great reviews. You could definitely complete the PADI e-learning first, start confined dives in a pool, then do check out dives once you…

CDMX is one of those culinary capitals of the world that will surprise you. The second I arrived, I felt like I was in a mixture of Madrid, NYC, and Latinoamerica. It has a cosmopolitan vibe, café culture, plenty of rooftop terraces, history, and all of the mescal and tacos you’ll ever need. Right off…

For the first time in forever, the travel gods were not in my favor. I have been contemplating a trip to CDMX for at least 2 years since a good friend from business school lives there. Combine that with a work trip to Philly, the beginning of Thanksgiving week, and the ability to work remotely…

The Romantic Road is what you think of when you think of Germany. Quaint towns with red roofs, town squares full of cobblestone, medieval forts and castle walls, and buildings straight out of a fairytale. The road spans from Würzburg in the north to Neuschwanstein castle and Füssen towards the Austrian border. Along the way,…

Bamberg is known as the Venice of Germany and it’s easy to see why. A river winds through buildings as quaint as a fairytale, and the bridges connecting the town provided an energizing reprieve from jet lag. We were most curious to try Bamberg’s famous Rauch beer, which is beer that has been smoked. Sounds…

It’s the second most wonderful time of year! Fall foliage, college football, less sweltering heat, and of course, Oktoberfest. This will be my second time frequenting the chaos of Theresenwiese, and after my first trip I have a ton of lessons learned that I applied to round 2. Flights Getting to Munich from the USA…

Excited to write my first flight review! So excited that I’m actually still in the air writing this from 38000 feet. This specific flight is unique because of the special privileges given for a flagship cross-continental route. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve flown to Seattle from DC, or Vegas from DC, with…

Is it NYC? Is it Chicago? Is it Seattle? Nope! It’s Toronto, Canada! What a treat of a city. Toronto first came on my radar when I went to Taste of the Derby in 2013. Of all the chefs in Louisville that night, the nicest of the bunch was Patrick McMurray from Starfish Oyster Bed…

If there is any reason to pack just a carry on bag for a trip, this would be it. I brought back a whopping TWENTY-NINE bottles of wine back, with 17 in my checked luggage (thank you for allowing two 50-pound bags, British Airways!) and regret nothing haha. I was very sad to only get…

  There are few places in the world that people tell me I HAVE to visit, and even fewer places where people don’t just tell me to go, but rave about it in every way. That place is Cape Town… and let me tell you, the hype is real. I’m not sure there is any…

Victoria Falls is like Disney World for adrenaline junkies and nature lovers. Who ever thought I would end up in Zimbabwe? Also… who ever thought I would LOVE Zimbabwe? Originally I planned to spend 4 days in V Falls, but some of my South African friends told me to prioritize Cape Town and cut my…
