A little about this blogger
“The life you have led doesn’t need to be the only life you have.” – Anna Quindlen
Hey there! I created this website as a way to record recommendations to friends and family — really any travelers who somehow stumbled onto this site — to stylish places to eat, drink, stay, play, and shop around the world.
I truly hope you find something here that sparks motivation within to journey to far-off lands or even an unknown locale nearer to home. As Dr. Seuss said, “Oh, the places you’ll go.”
Cheers!
Amy Baker
