Sharing is caring! One of the coolest things about being a travel blogger is meeting the most interesting people. And that’s coming from someone who doesn’t consider herself a people person. Hello, fellow introverts! Years ago, when a friend visited overseas, I booked a super cute Airbnb on Waiheke Island. New Zealand’s hot wine destination […]

Sharing is caring! Sooooooo, about last night. Holy crap, guys! We just experienced the most incredible aurora display I’ve ever seen in New Zealand. Did you manage to take it in wherever you were in the world? Frost was already starting to settle on the cars parked along my street in Lake Hāwea last night […]

Sharing is caring! Often, I find myself reflecting on my love for the sea. I don’t know where it came from. I didn’t grow up near the ocean, nor am I much of a beach bum. Laying around in a swimsuit, like, in front of people all day doing nothing? And how annoying is sand? […]

Sharing is caring! You know those people whose lives seem effortless? On the surface (social media), they appear to have everything going for them: good health, a great career, a respectable bank account, and a happy family. However, I also think we’re starting to be woke enough to know that, of course, the internet version […]

Sharing is caring! What is it about us humans that makes us want to conquer things? We get the same endorphins from a stint at the gym or chowing down on chocolate cake. Why do we (cough, cough, men) so often feel the need to be the first at something? Why does glory outweigh death […]

Sharing is caring! Exactly ten years ago, I arrived in Wānaka in a little red car with my whole life packed inside it. Back then, Wānaka was still a sleepy little mountain town where Instagram wasn’t really a thing, and no one cared about a tree in the lake. I cannot believe I’ve passed a […]

Sharing is caring! You can take the basic bitch out of the East Coast, but she’ll still love everything pumpkin spice. It’s starting to feel like my favorite season here in New Zealand. The nights are crisp, and the days are shorter. Leaves are just starting to change colors, heralding the arrival of autumn. I […]

Sharing is caring! Ok, ok, ok. I know it’s a bit of a stretch to call Ilulissat a city, but since Greenland’s population caps at 56,000 people, it counts. Greenland’s third biggest city/town/community is home to just as many sled dogs as humans. Let me say that Ilulissat has definitely earned its reputation as the […]

What are your thoughts on this pairing? Do you think this will help or hurt RFK Jr’s chances? I’m not excited about this choice as she’s been a mega-donor to both Biden and Buttigieg campaigns in the past. I would have much preferred Tulsi Gabbard as his pick. Let me know your thoughts in the […]

Zakynthos (also known as Zante) is one of the major Ionian Islands – a mesmerizing archipelago located along the western coast of mainland Greece. Due to its spectacular white cliffs, hidden coves, as well as the famous Shipwreck Beach, the island became one of the most popular destinations in Greece. How to Reach Zakynthos from Mainland […]
