Dublin, Ireland
Somehow, someway, through the divinity of our merciful Lord, I ended up having to spend two nights in Dublin on my route home to the U.S. for the Holidays. Okay, that’s what my Irish heritage probably wishes were my feelings about it all. Alas, I was cursing Aer Lingus and the crummy [...]

Amsterdam (and really, my computer)
I recognize this posting is a bit of a divergence from my regular material but, given that I have always had a deep love affair with paper goods/stationery and now live abroad- I can’t help but become a bit preoccupied with my holiday card selection.
Not only do I have [...]

Maldives
November 1, 2009
Please forgive the tragic cliche of a headline above, but truly, I found one of paradise’s costumes right here in the Maldives. This long strand of islands, or Atolls as they’re known, out in the middle of the Indian Ocean features some of the most picturesque island-fantasy scenery I have ever imagined. Lo [...]

Amsterdam
October 28th, 2009
Upon my move to Amsterdam, I reached out to the Dutch Tourism Board in an effort to introduce myself (get plugged into upcoming events) as a new journalist. Just my luck, they were extremely responsive (far nicer than the PR department at KLM) and right away I was invited to the preview party [...]

The Canal Ring, Amsterdam
October 15th, 2009
As always, apartment hunting is a challenge and one that can ride the patience of even the most serene (read: dull) people but, I have actually found that when it is one’s only source of social interaction, it can be quite fun and even rewarding.
With my new bike I began [...]

Amsterdam
October 14th, 2009
It’s been officially one week and a day since I ‘moved’ to Amsterdam. The ‘moved’ is in quotations because I was completely absent during any sort of physical element involved in said move. All the packing, bubble-wrapping, box-taping and multiple trips to Connecticut for storage were blissfully done without me (Thanks Fris!). It [...]

TANZANIA
September 27th, 2009
It’s pretty wild that in three days time I went from Cebu in the Philippines to Amsterdam to now, the Grumetti Reserve in Tanzania. I know, I know, my life is charmed but, I must admit – I’m exhausted. Fortunately my four-poster bed at Singita’s Sasakwa Lodge beckons with fluffy promise.
But before that, [...]

NANTUCKET
JUNE 2009
Kate Brosnan kindly had me back on PLUM in Nantucket to chat about my upcoming work with the brand. Despite the brutal weather, we managed to have yet another fantastic conversation. It’s always a pleasure to chat with Kate and I hope she really does travel with me sometime soon. (Try not to judge [...]

NANTUCKET, MASS
The Opera House Cup is hands down one of my favorite events of the entire year. Due to the generosity of my best mate, Hayden Curtin Sundin and her father, Jack Curtin, I have been a lucky sailor on the lauded two-time America’s Cup winner, the 12-meter yacht, INTREPID for the past [...]
