Barcelona was my final stop in Spain, and on this vacation; Madrid was first and Monaco was second. I try to end my vacations with less activity, more peace and relaxation, and of course luxury. Each leg of this trip was unique and special in its own way and little did I know that Barcelona …
New Year’s is a magical experience for me! You’re closing out the old with a bang and welcoming in the new with open arms of hope. New Year’s Eve is all glamour and fun, with New Year’s Day being about peace and relaxation. So, where does a SoCal resident go to obtain such a vibe? …
London is a special place to me. Having traveled there multiple times, it’s become a fond location if for no other reason their taxis are the best in the world! In particular, this trip was the pinnacle of London trips (*thus far*) because my little brother came with me. Let’s be honest, though, packing for …
Growing up with “unique” home life, I didn’t get to know much of my extended family. In fact, I’m still trying to track them down one by one through 23andMe. All I really had to go on was that my dad’s side had a lot of Spanish blood, and I look Spanish. New Year’s 2017 …
Since I was already making the trip to Spain and doing a thorough amount of exploring that beautiful country, a little excursion for some luxury appealed to me. Initially, I was thinking of the South of France, wine country, etc. But after doing some research online, primarily Google Maps and Marriott’s website, I realized that …
I kept my fourth and final day in Monaco cleared from excursions and plans so I could explore the South of France Coastline. It was about a 15-20 minute drive from Monaco, so it seemed logical to take in some of the most impressive coastlines the world has to offer. Flying into Nice, I was …
For the past few years, international travel for work hasn’t been in my cards. So, when a high-profile project I was leading for the America’s led to an international meetup in Paris, I was not disappointed. In fact, I was pretty excited. Work had been so busy the past year that I couldn’t even think …
Part of my annual travel schedule is a New Year’s trip. Celebrating in different areas around the world is pretty unique in so many ways, and I really encourage you to give it a try. This year was slightly different, though, as I had family coming into town. Challenge accepted! A trip between Christmas and …
Part of my annual corporate travel schedule is the NRF (National Retail Federation) show in New York City each January. Coming off the holiday break, this is pretty much my ideal first trip of the year for a few reasons: It’s still decorated for the holidays, it snows, and I feel like my holiday experience …
Winter’s a magical time of year for me. The holidays. Time to reflect on the past and upcoming year. Family and Friends. And most importantly, the cold weather brings about so many fun elements: warm snuggly clothes, fireplaces, hot toddy’s, and lots of heated blankets! Now, if we’re talking about traveling in the winter, especially around Christmas time, it …
