    7 Must Eats In Paris

    This post is part of my Europe Travel Guide, read all about my trip to Europe here! While I was in Paris, I had one thing on my mind, food. Paris is the holy Mecca of pastries and if you haven’t already noticed, sweets are my weakness. Of course I was drooling at the idea of stuffing my face with sweet and buttery French pastries. I have compiled my 7 must eats while in Paris. I do apologize that my list is mostly sweets, but it’s Paris so who can blame me? If you are feeling adventurous or are looking for something savory, try escargot, beef bourguignon, Confit de canard or…

    A Perfect Weekend in San Diego

      The last time I went to California was when I was in high school and while I was there, I visited San Jose and San Francisco. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit San Diego for work, and of course, I had to extend my trip so I could really explore San Diego and La Jolla. As usual, I did a ton of research and planning as to what the best restaurants were and different sites we could see. Here is my San Diego travel guide with some of my favorite things we did while we were in San Diego and La Jolla (as well as a few things…

    7 Sweet Spots in New York City

    My recent trip to New York City was filled with lots of tasty foods and if you know me at all, you know I am all about the sweets! I did a lot of research before going to New York City and am happy to share with you all, my favorite sweet spots in the city. Trust me, there were a couple of spots that I wanted to go to but because I can only eat so many cookies before going into a diabetic coma, I didn’t get a chance to go to them. I plan on going to New York City again so if there are any bakery spots…

    Europe Travel Guide

    Back in May, I went on an amazing trip to Europe for 3.5 weeks. I spent hours upon hours looking at travel blogs, Pinterest, Trip Advisor and Eurail.com so I could plan every moment of my trip. I was so OCD about this trip that I created a color coordinated calendar with all of our tours and attractions on it. I know, I need help. When I got back from Europe I thought to myself, “I put in a lot of time and research into this trip and learned a lot along the way, so why don’t I share all of it?” I figured that all of my hard work could…
