As a New Yorker, I sadly commit to the bit of being addicted to the hustle. However, even workaholics and stress-induced people like me need a retreat every now and then. QC NY Spa had been on my list for the longest time, and right before a particularly long travel jaunt through South America, I…
It's the most wonderful time of the year, which means the annual holiday markets are back up in New York City. I know Bryant Park Winter Village gets all the love, but over the past few years, that market is so jam-packed beyond belief that I have found it difficult to enjoy. While Union Square…
Has a place ever called you? Randomly spoken to you? While I could argue that everywhere in the world has called (or will call) me at some point, Seattle takes the cake. In 2022, I dropped out of law school to be a full-time travel writer (thanks for being here!) and I kept having dreams…
A little fun fact about me: I've been to 80 countries (by the time you're reading this, probably many more), but I had never ONCE stepped foot on a cruise. For the longest time, the desire simply hadn't been there, but when I had the opportunity to travel through Alaska via Holland America Line on…

Many associate New York state with the bright lights of Times Square or mountainous regions like the Adirondacks or Catskills, but one of New York's best kept secrets is in Oneida County. Sylvan Beach is a tiny beach town with a big personality; there are so many fun things to do in this part of…
If you're headed to NYC with your girls, you might feel overwhelmed in trying to decide where to grab a bite. New York has over 6,000 restaurants, and some are simply better equipped for large groups than others. After dining at so many spots around New York, these are my top restaurant picks for a…
In all frankness, i went to Grand Rapids with minimal culinary expectations. This worked out in my favor, because after just two short days there, I was completely blown away by how great some of the food was. Grand Rapids quickly became one of my favorite culinary cities in the US, much thanks to the…
Grand Rapids is a fun, vibrant city in Michigan that can easily be explored in just a few short days. While it's typically considered a conservative city, there's no shortage of an uptick in progressive businesses.
