koh mak, trat
Welcome back to my recap of last year’s trip to Thailand! So…where was I? Oh yeah, we were just about to leave for Koh Mak! At 6 am sharp, we headed for the bus station and purchased two tickets to Trat, the closest town to our final destination, Koh Mak. At less than $8 per […]

bangkok, 2019: part 1
Hello! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are not suffering from the Sunday Scaries like I am. To beat the end-of-the-weekend gloom, I cheered myself up by putting together this post, and I have to say, going through these photos did put me in a much better mood! Here’s hoping it cheers […]

tuscany, 2019
After an entire week of the sun being completely gone by 4pm, it’s hard to believe I was in Italy last week, with it’s late sundown time of 7pm! It feels so long ago 😦 As I said in my last post, my family met up in Greve in Chianti to ring in the new […]

palma de mallorca, spain
Well hello, little old but-not-forgotten blog! How are you doing? Last week I spent four days visiting my little sister, Margot, in Mallorca before she began another course for her Master’s program in Education, which offers courses abroad during the summer. With almost an entire office on holiday, it seemed the perfect chance to escape […]

why sweden?
If I were to label my relationship with Sweden on Facebook it would most definitely be, ‘It’s Complicated‘! As we now know, my background story is all over the place. I actually pity my closest friends, because they have undoubtedly heard me explain my story hundreds of times to any poor, innocent fool who’s asked […]

nyc snapshots
Last November, Conrad and I spent a long weekend in New York. We stayed with my brother-in-law and his wife, who live in a gorgeous apartment on the Upper West Side, and had a lovely (if too short!) visit in the Big Apple. Both C and I have been to NYC before, so this trip […]

summer in stockholm
I think I can honestly say that there is nothing better than Swedish summer.It may only last one week per year (sob), but when the sun shines, the whole country just comes alive! After our France/Italy/Switzerland extravaganza, we had planned a few quiet days in Stockholm with my dad and brother before heading back to Colorado. Unfortunately, […]

a day in italy
The trip recap continues! The day after the big party, we decided to take a little road trip to our favorite Italian border town, Susa. Originally founded by the Gauls, Susa eventually became a part of the Roman Empire, and remains of the Roman city are still found in the town’s central square. It’s small […]

my best travel tips
I consider myself to be pretty well-traveled, but when I think of a pro, I immediately picture my mom. She’s been traveling the world since she was five years old, and has not stopped since. I think we once tried to count how many countries she’d been to, and the number tallied way over 100. […]
