Last week, I got to know a different side of Coney Island: the creek, across the island from the famous boardwalk. It turned out to be one of the best days I’ve had in New York this year (so far!)…

It’s official: I’ve got a huge crush on Austin. This wonderfully weird city has swept me off my feet with its craft beer, food trucks, and active community!

I was determined to head to New England to see the fall foliage there this year, but time didn’t allow for a greater road trip – instead, I headed to the Seven Lakes for a day!

I returned to New York to beautiful fall weather and went on an upstate road trip right away to take in the fall colors before the trees dropped their leaves…

I finally visited the north of Italy, a part of the country I neglected during almost all of my 12 visits to the country. Now I wish I would’ve come earlier…

Stopping in Koh Chang for a few days was a spontaneous on-the-whim decision – and I am glad that I made the detour because the island is perfect for a mini beach vacation!

Venice was the last stop on my little tour of northern Italy, and it is safe to say that I picked the perfect place for a truly grand finale.

I loved my third visit to Tel Aviv – a couple of days filled with beach time, a street art tour, markets, and the best view of Tel Aviv!

This past week was all about temple hopping as I explored the ancient cities of Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle. The most remarkable sight: The Jetavanaramaya Stupa!

I spent my last week in Cambodia on the glorious beaches in the south. Otres Beach remains my favorite one, and I enjoyed a few wonderfully lazy beach days there.
