I woke up early on Saturday to the sound of text alerts arriving. A bit groggy and without my glasses, I saw a text asking about my cash withdrawal in Indonesia. Wait what? Now I was awake, glasses on and reading text messages, emails and listening to a voicemail from […]
I planned a last minute transatlantic cruise from New York to Southampton, England and was super happy to pack my new Waldlaufer Nora sandals in Bronze because the color is a great neutral (surprisingly) to pair well with so many outfits and an easy shoe to pack. As I’ve posted […]
Traveling with an “invisible illness” is so often misunderstood – if you can’t see it, then is it real? I’ve found for the many with autoimmune diseases, traveling adds a few extra layers of planning (and clothes), stress and a plethora of “what if” scenarios. Your diagnosis is not who […]
When in Rome…..or Bruges… I often shun the very touristy things when I travel but in Bruges, I had to give in to the canal tour. Sure, I already walked a good portion of the city along the canal but why not get in the boat with thirty strangers to […]
I was invited to appear on WHYY’s You Oughta Know television program to speak on “How to Travel for Less” (scheduled to air tonight). I currently teach a “How to Travel for Less” class at Main Line School Night twice a year (Spring & Fall semesters) to help people learn […]

366 stairs to the top. I’m not quite sure what I expected at the Bruges Belfry Climb of the bell tower but once I started, I had to finish. The Belfry of Bruges is a medieval tower in the center of town and was featured in the classic dark comedy […]
As if nearly 90 chocolate shops in Bruges wasn’t enough….there’s Choco Story which is a CHOCOLATE MUSEUM in Bruges. A museum dedicated to the origin of chocolate around the world and in Belgium. If there was any attraction that had my name written all over it – it was this! […]
Despite luggage space being at a premium, I’ve often sacrificed precious shoe space for my workout clothes, sneakers/trainers and good intentions (thinking I’ll find a cool yoga, barre or cardio class in my destination or at the hotel). I’ve found that I rarely get to the local gym or boutique […]
