  • Top Five Bermuda Beaches

    If you know nothing about Bermuda, shame on you. But if you only known one thing about my island home, it should be that we have the most beautiful beaches in the entire world. This is not an opinion – this is a fact. Bermuda regularly tops lists for best beaches in the Caribbean and around the world. Our turquoise water and pink sand are a stunning combination which most…

  • Celebrating Bermuda Day

    I am a proud Bermudian. No matter where I am in the world, I bubble up with excitement whenever I’m asked where I’m from. BERMUDA, I say as loudly as I can. Because I’m proud, proud to be from this 21-square mile in the Atlantic. Today, on Bermuda Day, I’m even more proud to be Bermudian. When I was 12, my family packed up and moved to Massachusetts. I didn’t…

  • Five Things I Loved About Grenada

    My husband and I visited Grenada last month for our honeymoon and had an awesome time. I can’t count the amount of times people have asked my why we chose Grenada. Honestly, we chose at random. We wanted to go somewhere that wasn’t too far (four hour flight from Miami), that was warm and a bit of the beaten path. A lot of the Caribbean is tourist focused and that…

  • My Paradise – Bermuda

    Every time I step outside of my door, I am greeted with the sight of turquoise water with an expansive view. On the left, I see beautiful blue sky, the North Atlantic Ocean and white roof homes for miles. If I turn to the right, there’s more ocean for miles. I don’t think there’s anything better. This is my paradise, my Bermuda – the island I was blessed to be…

  • The Ultimate Guide to Toronto

    On Christmas Eve in 2015, my family and I flew north to spend the holidays in the beautiful city of Toronto. I don’t know what possessed us to leave sunny, warm 75 degree Bermuda for the harsh winter of Canada, but we boarded Air Canada, bundled up tight and hoped for the best. I’d been to Toronto a few times during my university years, having gone to school in Michigan…

  • Best Vegan Eats in Barcelona

    When one thinks of Catalan food, healthy doesn’t really come to mind. Patatas Bravas, Bombas, Russian Salad, Crème Catalan, all the pastries and of course the wine doesn’t exactly make for a healthy meal. Tasty, absolutely, but good for the waistline, absolutely not. In my quest to find fabulous food in Barcelona, I also wanted to find healthy eats – more specifically, vegan and vegetarian cuisine. I wanted to be…

  • The Ultimate Food Lovers Guide to Barcelona

    If you only know one thing about me, know this – I LOVE food. My dad is a total foodie and passed on his love of all this gastronomical to me. I plan my life around what I will eat and when I will eat it. And vacations – I don’t plan excursions, I spend hours researching the best restaurants to stuff my face the whole time I am on…

  • The Ultimate Guide to Barcelona

    Often times, when we put something on a pedestal, the reality doesn’t measure up because expectations are too high. Barcelona has been on a pedestal for me for about ten years. I’ve wanted to visit the Catalan city for as long as I can remember and finally, I had the chance. I recently spent eight lovely days in Barcelona with my partner and absolutely fell in love with this amazing…
