CUTE THANKSGIVING OUTFIT IDEAS As cliche as it sounds, I can’t seem to wrap my head around the fact that we’re quickly heading into the holiday season. With the long lockdowns in Greece, I’ve spent the past holiday season unable…

It’s that time of year we’re all pining for a healthy dose of vitamin D and sea. We just opened our books over at @lesirenetravel and are so excited to plan your trips to Greece + Italy this year!
Our approach is simple: we prioritize the authentic over the mainstream. We spend time getting to know the locals, chatting insider tips over espressos and exploring the less sought after experiences; all to get a better and more authentic understanding of the culture and its people.
Whether you want to work through some questions about your upcoming trip or want us to bring your dream trip to life; think of us as your in-the-know friends abroad, who’ve already done the legwork so you don’t have to.
Summer 2023 loading!
Today felt like spring and especially in this @arma.online_ coat I snagged on sale 🌸
Firenze/Bologna photo dump and my latest work for @thrillist on the 5 Lessons I learned from Traveling Solo all these years!
1. Find Comfort in the Uncomfortable
2. People are Kinder Than We Expect
3. Learn to Trust Your Instincts
4. Be Present and Enjoy the Moment
5. Always Keep an Open Mind [and Heart]
Traveling solo allows you to learn how to enjoy in your own company - something most of us feel uncomfortable doing, even avoid - but once you get past that initial discomfort you’ll find a renewed sense of discovery, adventure and most importantly, confidence in yourself again.
Hoping to inspire you to book that solo trip! It doesn’t have to be exotic or far-fetched; a quick weekend trip poolside or a staycation will also do the trick! The point is to find time be content with enjoying your own company!
Any other fellow, solo travelers out there? 🙋🏻♀️ Wanting to hear your solo travel stories, inspire us! xx
I've always preferred staying at boutique hotels that somehow feel like one big extension of someone's very-well decorated and luxurious home. Last Summer, I stayed at the newly opened @warszauerhotel in Krakow. The owner, Marta, designed and curated the entire space, from burlwood, marble slabs in unexpected colors and artwork by talented @tomek_opalinski's. This was my first introduction to the artist and it's become a goal to get my hands on one of his pieces for the new house. Every morning the Warszauer team served up a dream breakfast using seasonal produce around a communal table and even prepared a pizza date-night for the two of us on our balcony to enjoy the warm weather.
I've shared how pleasantly surprised and taken aback I was by Krakow as a city. Needless to say, Warszauer Hotel played such an integral part in making my experience so enjoyable. Krakow, friends... add it to your list.
Hi Friends 👋🏻
It’s been a while! We’re in the thick of wedding planning, even though surprisingly the major items have been checked off. Now it’s a focus on those special details and logistics for family and friends coming in from abroad. As if a wedding wasn’t enough this year… a shift in work, article deadlines, application for V’s green card, renovations at home (we found water in the walls and as a result major humidity issues) dealing with Greek bureaucracy and an upcoming trip to Morocco that I had to force us to book, simply to take a breather from this insanity that is life right now.
It feels like an incredibly transformative period and trying to navigate it, here in Greece adds a whole new level of.. let’s call it adventure, shall we?
Hoping this coat helps keep things running smoothly and any negative energy at bay. At this point, I’ll take all the help I can get! 👁
