February 24, 2022 No Comments

This blog post is a guide to help you experience Salem, Massachusetts a bit more authentically with some of the best things to do in Salem that aren’t your typical popular attractions. Helping you go from being a tourist to a traveler. I’ll admit. The first time I heard of Salem was as a kid watching Hocus Pocus. I’m sure I’m not the only one. I quickly associated Salem with Halloween and witches, not thinking much more about the city until I moved to Boston. Suddenly, Salem was no longer this spooky city from my childhood, but a very real city less than an hour away from me. I quickly added it to my list, eager to learn more about Salem’s history. After my trip to Salem, I’m incredibly fascinated by the balance of its fame for Halloween with the need to remember the very real tragic events that occurred…

December 9, 2021 No Comments

Within weeks of moving here, I made a bucket list and I’m slowly ticking off destinations.

For example, picking your car up at the airport may be more convenient…

November 9, 2021 No Comments

Ah, Paris. There’s something incredibly magical about this city. No matter how many times I visit, I fall in love with it all over again. With the charm and appeal of the various arrondissements (districts of Paris), it can be hard to narrow down where to stay in Paris. Luckily, I stumbled upon La Maison Favart, located in the 2nd arr. and it was the perfect home base from which to explore the city. (I was welcomed as a guest at La Maison Favart.

Why Visit Glasgow? Here’s 6 Reasons

October 30, 2021 No Comments

I’ll be honest, Glasgow was not a destination I had on my radar before my trip with Visit Britain. My knowledge of Scotland is made up of Outlander (hello Jamie why didn’t I find you in Scotland?) and stories of friends’ trips. After spending four days in Glasgow, I truly didn’t want to leave. Here are 6 reasons why you should visit Glasgow. (This blog post is in collaboration with Visit Britain, Impact Travel Alliance, and Fora. As always, all opinions are my own.) Why Visit Glasgow? People Make Glasgow You’ll see signs all around the city claiming that people make Glasgow, and it couldn’t be more true. Not only are the people some of the friendliest but also, they are advocates for climate policy, the homeless populations, and the BLM movement.
