My Favorite Cities for Romance

Paris? Nope. Florence? Oh, please. Although I can be a tad bit cynical about romantic travel, the fact is there are some cities in America that upon first visit you can’t help but imagine yourself walking hand in hand with the one you love.  As Valentine’s Day is approaching and is on a...

Food Friday: SoBou in New Orleans

Happy February! I’ve decided to write a new weekly post about my second favorite love (after travel): food.  In my opinion, food can be just as transporting as travel and is often times an integral part of learning about a destination.  Unlike some avid eaters, I like to eat...

Park City, I just can’t quit you!

I bet you can tell which trip was my favorite of 2012.  I literally have not been able to stop talking/writing about the awesomeness that is Park City, Utah! With the Sundance Film Festival right around the corner, please take a second to enjoy my latest piece for SheKnows:...
