Taste Of The Mediterranean

You will hear me say this over and over again, the best way to learn about different cultures around the world is through food. Why? Well because through the food you can learn about a countries history, it’s people and land.

A Perfect Day: West Village

We can all agree that most of New York City is very grand. The city is filled with skyscrapers and large avenues but the West Village is different. It’s one of the charming areas of NYC that makes you feel like you’re in Europe and not in the states.

My Favorite NYC Coffee Shops By Neighborhood

Raise your hand if you love coffee!? ( It’s not like I can see you do that but just go along with it! haha) My coffee addiction has nothing to do with caffeine but more to do with taste. I actually enjoy drinking it and choose to be very picky about what coffee brands I choose to drink from.

Insider Travel Intel: Louvre Museum In Abu Dhabi

The United Arab Emirates literally wants it all. Don’t you agree? Now they even have the Louvre – which would have been great to see 2 years ago when I traveled there. I guess now I have a reason to go back! 🙂

Weekend Escape: Montreal

This year Thomas and I decided to celebrate New Year’s in a much more colder place than last year ( we went to Cuba last year!). We drove up to Montreal with my cousin and her boyfriend for 3 nights to welcome the year in a new place that wasn’t too far from NYC.
