So happy to finally be able to sit down and write this post. After all the craziness of traveling, blog parties, TV appearances, and holidays over the past two weeks it’s been chaotic to say the least, but I’m so excited to write about one of my newest favorite cities in Europe–Berlin! Not only is … Continue reading
I’m a big traveler. Traveling is in my blood. Not only am I the fourth generation in my family to have visited all the states in the US, but my (many) passports have been stamped by countries across South America, Europe, Australia and more. Generally, I travel with my family or friends but as of … Continue reading
Barcelona felt instantly different from Madrid. Like a whole different country (which it basically is, Catalonia). And some described the difference in a very Texas way: Madrid is Dallas, and Barcelona is Austin. I HATE this description bc I love Madrid and would not compare it to Dallas, ew. Just kidding. But, I still … Continue reading
We’ll I’ll be damned if I didn’t admit that I fell in love with Amsterdam with my weekend trip in the city. It was filled with whimsical canals, intricate architecture, restaurants that served more than just bread and cheese, and some of the most gorgeous fall colors of the season. As I’ve been traveling for … Continue reading
Munich. The Capital of Bavaria. International Destination for Ocktoberfest. And perfect excuse for a quick day trip to Europe. If you have only 24 hours to spare, here’s how to spend the most magical day in Munich.

Ghent is one of the best kept secrets in Europe. It’s a medieval city with castles, canals, cathedrals, and wildly good food and shopping. It might not be at the top of your list when you’re planning out your next Euro-trip, but I’m here to tell you that it should be. It exceeded all the expectations … Continue reading
In planning my four-city European trip, somehow Madrid fell to the bottom of the list for a few reasons. I knew very little about the city; there’s no Eiffel tower or Colosseum. I knew there were tapas, sangria and paella, but that was basically my knowledge of the city. When I would say I was going … Continue reading
I did the most cliche traveling adventure for someone in their 20s: I backpacked through Europe, taking trains and plains and staying in hostels. It was incredible and an amazing adventure that began with a seemingly impossible task: fitting 11 days worth of stuff into a carry-on-sized backpack. I went to Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and … Continue reading
Your friends who moved to “New York City” but actually live in New Jersey aren’t necessarily living a lie. New Jersey is so much more than the Jersey Shore. Everything is walkable (and New Jersey locals walk just as damn fast). Newark is only a 20 minute cab ride away (and they have Uber pool … Continue reading
I recently got back from one of the most amazing beach trips ever–the glamorous island of Puerto Rico!! Since it’s part of the US, it’s a breeze to get to from Houston (only a 4 hour flight!) and is a popular cruise ship destination. My four days in Puerto Rico probably had an edge on … Continue reading
