Costa Rica has been calling my name for a while now, but it took a work-related engagement to actually get me there. As such, instead of exploring its beaches and rainforests, I spent most of my time at the University of Peace attending the Gross Global Happiness Summit. Luckily, the packed itinerary included a walking …
Snow covered mountains and woollen underwear are a far cry from white sand beaches and colorful bikinis, but somehow the former setting served as the most epic leg of my Euro-trip. Who would have guessed? After two days of rustic cabin living in the Norwegian countryside I felt relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to take up …
Budapest is one of those cities that has a lot to offer but doesn’t require a great deal of time to enjoy. That makes it the perfect destination for a brief visit – two days to be exact! At first I was concerned that my 48 hours weren’t going to be enough for this excursion …
For many Trinbagonians, European travel seems like an expensive undertaking. Yes, flights are more costly than those to North America. And, then there’s the intimidating exchange rate for currencies like the euro and the pound. Naturally, it seems more affordable to plan a trip to the United States or Canada.

As an island girl, I’m partial to natural therapies – we’re talking waterfall massages and exfoliation by sand. However the idea of soaking in a tub of beer was too intriguing to pass up so when I crafted my itinerary for Prague, ‘BEER SPA’ was at the top of my Must-Do/No-Exceptions/Can’t-Miss List. And I am so …
A sprawling castle. Quaint little houses. A bell tower. Cobble stoned lanes. Acres of gardens. Panoramic views. And a beautiful river running through it all. The only thing missing from Cesky Krumlov is a magical Disney soundtrack running on loop. Honestly, you can’t get more “fairytale” than this charming city a 3-hour Flixbus bus ride …

Three days. That was all it took for me to fall in love with the Czech Republic. Three days of rows upon rows of charming old buildings; miles and miles of quaint cobbled stone streets; scene after scene of postcard perfect views; dish after dish of diverse and delicious food; and gallons upon gallons of …
Do me a favor? Close your eyes and envision paradise. Chances are your imagination is painting a picture that closely resembles the San Blas Islands of Panama…White sand and blue water beaches…Clusters of towering coconut trees…Thatched roof huts… Hammocks…Peace…And quiet. These 365 tiny island dotting the Caribbean Sea are the epitome of isolation and as …

Contemporary and historical. Trendy and vintage. Urban and rural. Beach and jungle. Panama is a country of contrasts that offers a little bit of something for everyone. As an island girl who appreciates a taste of city life, Panama was everything I always knew I needed in a destination but had yet to find. Remarkably, …
