In the three years that I have lived in Europe, there have only been two cities that have made me think “I need to come back and see more of this place”- Paris and London. And now…Rome. My weekend in Rome was absolutely incredible and I am 100% sure that it was so great because […]
The First Few Days in Florida
Hello, hello from sunny Florida! I flew down to Miami on Wednesday afternoon for a 10 day getaway with my parents. The reason for our trip is that my cousin is having his Bar Mitzvah, so we made a trip out of it and decided to spend 6 days here in Boynton Beach, Florida and […]
6 Days in Israel – Jerusalem – Part III
Just checking in now? Here is PART 1 and PART 2 of our trip. Our first full day in Jerusalem was all about exploring! Since we only had two days in Jerusalem, we wanted to hit the ground running and that’s exactly what we did. After breakfast in the Airbnb, we headed out and spent […]
6 Days in Israel – Masada / Ein Gedi / Dead Sea – Part II
Just catching up? Read about our first two days in Tel Aviv and Jaffa here. On our third day in Israel, we were up at 2 am (which is not even waking up early, it’s like taking a short nap where you wake up feeling ok, but as it gets later, you feel worse and […]
6 Days in Israel – Tel Aviv – Part 1
Wow, what a trip and where to begin! Luis and I just got back from 6 days in Israel and it feels both surreal that we were there and surreal that it’s over. As we went, I wrote parts of this post to help include as many details as possible. Our first day started way […]
Best European Weekend Trips
I feel so lucky to even be writing a post title like that. Best European Weekend Trips? Really? Yes. The truth of the matter is that I have done quite a bit of traveling, and more importantly- a lot of traveling on the weekend. People think you need a ton of time to see a […]
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
Ah, what a life I have to be able to spend 48 hours in Porto, Portugal. Just a quick hop, skip and jump from Spain, it’s the perfect weekend travel destination. There were some inexpensive flights available, so we jumped on it and went! These 48 hours in Porto, Portugal were my second trip […]
Luis in the USA, Part VII (Visiting Ventnor, NJ)
The final post and the final day of the trip! What a better end to the All-American trip than a day in Ventnor NJ? After getting back late from NYC the night before, we slept in a bit, had some breakfast, and got ready for our last adventure. My parents were already down in Ventnor […]
Luis in the USA, Part VI (New York City II)
Our first day in NYC was wet and rainy, but good nonetheless. Our second day, however, was sunny, warm, and perfect. We had breakfast in a super fancy place. And then headed straight for Time’s Square, which is awesome at night, but I think it’s possibly even better during the day…or maybe the rain is clouding […]
