It is the rich cultural roots, devastatingly beautiful scenery, and welcoming people, for a start. Read on to discover two of the best ways to explore Croatia. “Land or sea, which is better?”, I’ve often been asked since returning from Croatia last month. Why don't we have a friendly competition?

Deplar Farm

Best. Day. Ever. Deplar Farm.

August 10, 2021 Iceland, Stay in Europe
Where to stay in northern Iceland? Deplar Farm is the one /  In Iceland, there are more than 50 different words to describe snow. In Iceland, the population is so small that there's an app to make sure you don’t accidentally date your cousin. In Iceland, they joke, “What do you do if you get lost in an Icelandic forest?" Answer: "Stand up.” In Iceland, more than half the country believes in elves and trolls. I am enamored with Iceland, in awe of Deplar Farm,...

Searching for the peaceful life, at Amanzoe, Greece

May 30, 2021 Feast in Europe, Greece, Stay in Europe, Wander Europe
Google Amanzoe. Go ahead, I’ll wait. With 156,000 search results, Amanzoe is hardly a well-kept secret. What can I say or write that hasn't already been said or written about this palatial property? How can I uncover beauty not instantly available by scrolling postage stamp-sized squares on the phone? Or, found in a quick Google search? Let me give it a try. But perhaps first, a few things you will find in a quick Google search of Amanzoe, because essentials are still important, naturally. Amanzoe,...

Uganda, what to see beyond the famous silverback gorillas

May 7, 2021 Stay in Africa, Uganda, Wander Africa
What to see, where to stay, and what to do, in Uganda / The famous silverback gorillas are certainly what put Uganda on the map for tourism. And rightly so, as it is the only part of the world where one can see these peaceful, majestic primates. There are none in captivity, so in order to spend any time with them, one must be prepared to travel far. And travel far I did, for a fleeting two hours observing them that I wouldn't trade for...

May 6, 2021 Fab Finds, Feast, Feast in Africa, Feast in North America
A dinner reservation at Eleven Madison Park is coveted. Places like Eleven Madison Park are re-imagining their place in the new culinary landscape. The most inspiring example of this comes from Daniel Humm. Mr. Humm is the chef and owner of three Michelin-starred, Eleven Madison Park. I listened to his podcast with Guy Raz and was humbled. Eleven Madison Park has surprised the restaurant industry by creating completely plant-based menus. I only hope I can get in. My husband, Daniel, doesn’t understand why I would...

Up for a Challenge? Why the Best Family Resort In Punta Mita is The Four

April 17, 2021 Mexico, Stay, Stay in North America
Read on to discover the best family resort in Punta Mita— The Four Seasons. Punta Mita is the sun-soaked, palm tree-dotted peninsula in Mexico.  And it's one of the most luxurious spots in Mexico. For The Love of Travel I love traveling to hidden, off-the-beaten-path, inaccessible, far-flung destinations. I love hotels that are boutique in size, blend seamlessly into the environment, and whose entrances are easily passed unnoticed. The Four Seasons Punta Mita is not one of those places. Yet, it is as close to...

The Mighty Silverbacks of Uganda: How To Find Them

March 19, 2021 Uganda, Wander, Wander Africa
Last January, I received a text from a friend of a friend: ‘Happy New Year! Would you like to go gorilla tracking with me in Uganda?’ I stared at the screen for a nanosecond and wrote back, ‘Yes!’ A nanosecond later, I wrote, ‘Wait... what?’ So began nine months of planning that would eventually take us to see the indigenous Batwa Pygmies, through dusty local villages, over the golden savannah of Ishasha, into the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and ultimately, to the magical moment of finding...

The Vines, Mendoza—Culinary Highlights and Amazing Adventures

March 5, 2021 Argentina, Feast in South America, Stay in South America
Mendoza, Argentina / Francis Mallmann may be one of the top chefs in the Americas, but as of January 2016, we had never heard of him. That is, until one snowy night at home we saw his episode of the Netflix docu-series, Chef’s Table. Each episode highlights a chef from around the world, and the footage and scenery intertwined with the food can be mesmerizing, especially if you watch it when you are hungry! Part of what makes Mallmann unique is his use of cooking...

January 28, 2021 Fab Finds
(Please note a few affiliate links below. I may receive a small referral fee should a product be bought through my site but rest assured, I only highlight products I own and use.) When my husband and I were engaged, he bought me an overnight bag from Coach. It was cherry red canvas, with camel-colored leather details. The regal Coach logo was embossed understatedly in the leather. I loved it and asked him where we were headed, assuming he was planning a weekend getaway. “This...
