This post is the start of something I’ve wanted to do since I started this blog. Skiing is my absolute favorite winter activity! I started skiing in my 20s, and I’m lucky enough to have skied a ton of mountains in a short period of time. This is the first of what I hope will be a series of posts…
This post will be a bit different from others. We just bought a place in the Catskills and are renting it out on AirBnb (check it out!). As we spend more time in the area, I plan to update this post. For now, I wanted to have a one-stop shop for all of our recommendations for hiking, swimming, and eating…
We just got home from a five-day trip up to the Finger Lakes region of New York. In an uncharacteristic move, I wanted to blog about it while the trip was fresh. (Editor’s Note: I wrote this right after getting home. True to form, I posted it 4 months later.) I should probably mention that we bought a travel trailer…
One of my goals for this site is to have mountain guides for all the ski resorts we visit. This season is so different I feel like it merits its own posts. Here are my takeaways from a day at Hunter Mountain, NY. TL;DR – Lift lines and bathrooms were the riskiest parts of the day, but once on a…
#staylocal Since March, my travel plans, like those of so many others, changed dramatically. One cancelled vacation followed another as we embraced being safer at home. But rather than spending too much time mourning the loss of a babymoon, a family vacation, and a friend’s birthday bash, my husband and I decided to focus on what we could do –…
Hiking the Inca Trail is one of those bucket list items, or at least it was for me. I finally got to do it in 2016. The timing worked out well and I was between jobs for the trip, offering me a rare opportunity to disconnect and be fully present while traveling. I absolutely loved Peru! From the bustling cities…
Growing up, my family loaded up in the family van and cross crossed the country. These trips with my parents, grandparents, and brother created some of my fondest memories and allowed me to see much of the beauty of America. We somehow never made it to Zion National Park. It remained one of my last “big” National Parks to see.…

I was raised to believe travel was easy and accessible to anyone who wanted to go. That has always been a grounding principle in my life. My parents showed me it was possible, traveling with three kids on middle class salaries, and difficult schedules. My first job out of school, I made $30,000 a year, lived in the New York…
I studied abroad in Madrid and with three day weekends and a two-week spring break, I got to travel throughout the country, as well as to nearby countries including Portugal and Morocco. Since then, I’ve been back, and got engaged in Ibiza. Needless to say, Spain holds a special place in my heart, and I have lots of advice and…
