For my second visit to Paris, I rendezvoused with one of the best people I met whilst living in Bangkok for the weekend. She came to visit her favorite city from back home in the USA (she’s now an ex-expat). We have a LOT in common and not surprisingly feeling ALL THE FEELS for… Continue reading 36 Hours in Paris
Èze A friend was visiting from out of town who shared my desire to explore more of the nearby charming towns of southern France. So we got on a bus (#82 to be exact) in Nice and headed east for twenty minutes (this part of France is lousy with adorable villages, so you don’t… Continue reading My Day in Èze / Monaco
Right off the bat let me make it clear – the purpose of this trip was to attend the Web Summit tech conference, not for sightseeing. So I saw a lot more of the inside of their convention center than anything else. However, the little glimpses I did get to see were so lovely that… Continue reading 3 Days In: Lisbon, Portugal
La Colle-sur-Loup I was scheduled to take a cooking class in Colle-sur-Loup, so I hopped on the 400 bus to Vence from Nice early in the morning, jumped off and walked through the town. Getting off the bus I was immediately hit by stunning views. Walking through the town I was enthralled by the small… Continue reading My Day In: La Colle-sur-Loup / St Paul de Vence

Mostly old… Continue reading What I Ate In: New York!

The only hard part was choosing where to go. Since I had… Continue reading Total Solar Eclipse in Columbia, SC, USA
The Itinerary: 2 Weeks in Vietnam – Hanoi to Da Nang. I stuck to North and Central Vietnam since I had spent 48 Hours in Ho Chi Minh City and 24 Hours in Da Lat in the South on a previous visit. 3 Days in Siem Reap, Cambodia – I’d heard this was the perfect amount of… Continue reading My Travel Itinerary: 3 Weeks in French Indochina
In September, I spent 4 Days in Niigata, Japan and had the pleasure of meeting a Japanese Gardener who mentioned that there are annual Japanese Gardener conferences and the next one would be at the Morikami Gardens in Delray Beach, Florida. I did a start when he mentioned Delray Beach because that was where my… Continue reading Morikami Gardens in Delray Beach, Florida, USA
I just spent 48 hours in Boston, Massachusetts one of the greatest cities in the USA. As a major metropolis, it has all the cultural trappings of any major city – museums, music (Boston Pops!), fine dining, etc. Plus it’s also one of the oldest settlements in America so is incredibly rich in US history… Continue reading 48 Hours in Boston, Massachusetts, USA
I took a brief trip to Southern France for – wait for it – a job interview. Yep, that’s right. This full-time traveller/wanderer is actually considering the possibility of of setting down roots again. Crazy I know! Right outside of Nice is European’s tech industrial & research mecca Sophia Antipolis. I work in tech so spent… Continue reading 48 Hours in Nice, France
