  • Maine Itinerary: Portland and Bar Harbor

    Maine Itinerary: Portland and Bar Harbor

    This post is a hybrid itinerary and blog, due mostly to the fact that our trip up to Maine last fall had some …. complications early on. I’m going to include what we intended to do as well as what we actually ended up doing. This just goes to show that even the best laid…

    London, Jolly Old England Itinerary

    It’s Christmastime in the City: Specifically, Baltimore and Annapolis, Maryland

Every year I look forward to several events and experiences, and I wanted to share a few of those with you. My first must-attend event is the Eastport Yacht Club Lighted Boat…

  • My Favorite Travel Reads

    I have always been a big reader. When I was a kid, I would devour books voraciously and I looked forward to the Scholastic Book Fair for weeks. As an adult, books have served as massive inspiration for my adventures. For example, after reading Tony Bourdain’s “A Cook’s Tour”, I couldn’t wait to experience the…

    One Week in Amsterdam Itinerary

    A few years ago, one of my travel buddies and I took a week-long trip to Amsterdam in April. It was peak Tulip season, and I cannot recommend it enough. Below is the itinerary we created, which ended up being pretty epic (if I do say so myself). Day 1: Arrive in Amsterdam Take train…
