Florida Bar Mitzvah Weekend
Hello! Happy Wednesday! I’m lucky enough to be writing to you from sunny Florida, where I’ve been for just over a week. The reason for this little getaway is that my second cousin, Hayden, had his Bar Mitzvah, so we made this the Florida Bar Mitzvah trip! Never heard of a Bar Mitzvah? Here is […]
A Weekend in Valle del Jerte (Extremadura)

A Weekend in Bordeaux and Toulouse
I’ve officially decided the France is my spirit country…like you’re spirit animal, but it’s my country. I have now been to France 3 times (Paris, Lyon, and now a weekend in Toulouse and Bordeaux), and each time, I leave happy, full [of cheese] and planning my next trip. Toulouse and Bordeaux both blew me away, and […]
48 hours in Porto, Portugal
