I’d be willing to bet that if I asked you if you’ve ever been to Torrance, CA, your response would be something along the lines of “uh, where now?” Surrounded by Hermosa, Redondo, and Palos Verdes, well-known beach cities along California’s Santa Monica Bay, Torrance is often overlooked. However, for those who are looking for an authentic community experience in a location that is still close to all the Southern CA tourist hotspots, and will make … [Read more...]
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas
There is a private island where the wind blows in the beach pines and the gentle surf laps on the silky white sand. A place that is much loved for moments that can be counted as too short and then left to it's natural state just as quickly. This place is Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas, a private island. Holland America Line has a 99 year lease from the Bahama government to manage the island and their ships exclusively anchor off shore and … [Read more...]
Best Reasons to Visit Losinj, Croatia
Croatia’s picture-perfect island of Losinj sits in the Northern Adriatic Sea, a stone’s throw from Italy. It has been luring visitors since the 19th century, when Austro-Hungarian aristocracy first recognized its regal sheen. The curative effects of a near-perfect climate, crystalline sea and air infused with the scent of hundreds of native plant species made it a top health resort. Tourists have once again taken notice of this salubrious … [Read more...]
Upcoming Cruise, Holland America Line Caribbean & Sweepstakes Offer
Holland America Line recently reached out to me to join them on their first Caribbean cruise of the season. For whatever reason, the Caribbean is one of the last parts of the world I have not spent much time in. That will change after this trip as I am taking much of October to explore some additional islands with my brother who is flying in from Verona Italy (where he lives). I went on a River Cruise in Europe earlier this year but this will … [Read more...]
Belgrade – Night life’s Hidden Treasure
Somewhere in the world the day is coming to an end, and as they say, when the sun goes down the freaks come out. So whether or not you consider yourself a “freak”, I'm sure you, just like every other young and free spirited human being, enjoy a good old night on the town.

How-To-Guide To Fall In Love with Istanbul
This is my third and last post about my trip to Turkey. So without further ado, let me address the elephant in the room...the very popular and in my opinion, the highly overrated, Istanbul. Before you object to this, I will admit a visit to this city is matter of personal taste and preferences; because I take travelling very seriously (insert joke here), I offer my honest opinions on experiences and activities that others may gloss over … [Read more...]
Common Scams & Travel Hacks: 5 Things You Need to Know About Turkey
Disclaimer: this post is all written in good humor :) My most recent holiday, which is also the one that I get asked about the most - was to Turkey in early June of this year. I had recently graduated and there was no hope of a Swedish summer ever showing up (no surprise here!), so my husband and I packed up our gear, planned a spontaneous getaway with an open itinerary (like we usually do) and went on a quest for warm, sunny weather to make … [Read more...]

Crawling Around Dublin from Pub to Pub
The only thing I figured out how to do during my short stay in Dublin was crawl from pub to pub. In fact I am writing this now from the standing room only interior of Grogans Castle Pub. Everyone is drinking beer out of Guinness glasses but I am drinking a Swedish Cider. And apparently a cheap one at that. Speaking of cider I've finally discovered a country that can give Sweden a run for the money on the matters of quality cider; that would be … [Read more...]
