This past summer was one of the busiest but also one of the most memorable summers to date. In fact, it was so busy that I didn’t managed to blog about a single one of our summer adventures so I thought I’d do a quick roundup… Summer 2019 started with a trip to South Africa…… Continue reading A summer to remember

Thankfully, after a few too many days in Dublin, my sister came to the rescue and joined me in Ireland! My sister has lived in London for over a decade so every opportunity I get to see and spend time with her, even if it is a quick weekend road trip through the Irish countryside,…… Continue reading Sisters trip to Dingle

I hold an Irish passport so I’m pretty embarrassed to admit that earlier this year was my very first trip to Ireland. However, it turns out that I haven’t been missing all that much! Although everyone is lovely and makes you feel “most very welcome”, and it’s a small and easily walkable city which I like,…… Continue reading Discovering Dublin

The title of this blog is inspired by the Graham Greene novel, Travels with my Aunt. It seemed fitting, given that while visiting my parents at their home in Italy over the week leading up to Thanksgiving last year, going on adventures with them to new and beautiful places and staying up until the wee hours of…… Continue reading Travels with my parents

Yes, it has good weather and nice beaches but I’ve always thought it to offer nothing more than run down beach towns or large, sprawling cities, chock a block full of traffic. Having said that, I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed our recent…… Continue reading Summer in SoCal

After my solo road trip through the South visiting Palm Beach, Savannah and Charleston (which you can read about here, here and here), I was more than excited to head to Montreal to meet my husband for a long weekend. Not only because there is almost nothing I enjoy more than exploring beautiful and exciting…… Continue reading Magical Montreal

After Savannah, which you can read about here, my next stop on my road trip through the South was Charleston. After a busy day learning about the history and architecture of Savannah and a lovely drive over the Sea Islands, I arrived in Charleston rather famished and headed straight for dinner at Xiao Bao Biscuit,…… Continue reading Charming Charleston
