The marriage of Buda and Pest?

Honeymoon trip continues as we wend our way to the twin cities of Buda and Pest, amiably aided by a great tour guide. Plus loads and loads of snow!

Who put the honey in the honeymoon?

Who put the honey in the honeymoon?

My honey and I had a New Year’s trip to celebrate getting hitched. First we went to Prague and had our minds fully blown and beautified. A feast for the eyes, and, later, for the stomach!

Back to Alaska

Back to Alaska

Back to Alaska – as long as a sibling or two calls it home, I’ll be enjoying the breathtaking views and remoteness of the Last Frontier.

The prettiest place you’ve never heard of

The prettiest place you’ve never heard of

A late summer respite in the Spanish Pyrenees, with biking and bagpipes. It was great to get to someplace cooler and more remote and then to feel like… home?

So familiar, and also entirely new

So familiar, and also entirely new

I felt at home in Edinburgh – one branch of my family tree in vivid color. Also whisky, walking, and history, dolloped with some Harry Potter flashbacks.

Wide open Skye

Wide open Skye

It takes time to arrive at the Isle of Skye, so it makes sense I needed a bit more time to write about the experience. What a trip!

Glasgow on my mind

Glasgow on my mind

A lovely trip to Glasgow, complete with Highland coo, networking nerves, gargoyles and wordplay.

Mexico City paradise

The Culventure continues in Mexico City. A fantastic place full of wonders, history, and more tacos.

Wet Week on the Riviera Maya

Wet Week on the Riviera Maya

Cenotes, mangroves, and using your life jacket like a diaper. A family adventure to Tulum, Mexico goes wonderfully right.

Digging deeper in Italy

Digging deeper in Italy

This. Is. Matera. James Bond and the G7 sure know all about it, but this place was news to me. I’m still picking my jaw up from the floor.

Crossing the boot

Crossing the boot

Bopping around Basilicata region with two of my nearest and dearest, drinking wine and looking for doves. Can’t get better than that, can you?
