A few months ago, I watched the Bollywood Film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (or You Don’t Live Twice) for the first time and it inspired some serious wanderlust for a Spanish road trip. The culture (and dialect) varies in different regions throughout the country, which adds even more interest for me. I think I could

Dream Destination: Current Travel Wish List
My travel wish list seems to get longer with every passing day rather than shorter as one might expect. For every one experience or place that I might scratch off, I end up adding three or four more. I have been lucky enough to experience and see some of the most amazing things in the

Dream Destination: Paris
Dreaming of Paris: the architecture, boulangeries, museums, sites, accordions, striped clothing, and the beautiful language. I’ve been wanting to go for years, but haven’t found the right time. Perhaps this summer as a stopover on my way to the London Olympics. But for now, a few gorgeous photos to help the daydreaming.. source source source source source source
