What to Wear in a Prague Winter Wonderland
I just returned from Prague and let me tell you–it was beyond cold. We’re talking not getting above about 26 F/-3 C during the day and about 11 F/-11 C at night. Add a bit
Utrecht in Photos
I found Utrecht incredibly easy to fall in love with. To me, it feels so much more welcoming and homey than Amsterdam. While it is a major city in the Netherlands, it has the feel
A Quick Visit to Montenegro
Situated in the Balkans along the Adriatic Sea, Montenegro is one gorgeous country. While there, I visited three regions: Bay of Kotor, Budva Riviera, and Central. The Bay of Kotor is a UNESCO Heritage Site

Dream Destination: Costa Rica
It’s cold outside, and while I’ve grown to love the winter in some regards, it doesn’t stop me from dreaming of tropical destinations while I’m curled up in a snuggie (don’t judge) on my couch
Lesedi Cultural Village
When I was in South Africa for the World Cup, I wanted to immerse myself in African culture as best I could. It’s a bit difficult to get the flavor of a country when you’re
