You’ve probably seen images of Cinque Terre before. The villages in the Italian hills with all the colorful buildings ring a bell?
In the middle of my trip to Italy, Nicole and I were craving some warm sun and ocean air, so we hopped a train to the stunning and famous Italian Riviera.
Read MoreI say a lot of things in my day-to-day life - most of them completely true. Sometimes I exaggerate, sometimes I gloss over the nitty-gritty, but don’t we all? Where I’m going with this is that I wanted to make sure you all know that each and every word I leave here for you to read is as true as can be said, when it’s said.
Read MoreI am so lucky to say I’ve gotten to set foot in all the wonderful places that I have. One gorgeous location that I am always truly humbled to remember that I ventured to is the historic and beautiful country of Italy. So many people dream of visiting Italy and I have to pinch myself sometimes when I think about the fact that I got the pleasure of spending over a week there two years ago.
Read MoreDid you know that I studied in Seville, Spain for a short time? Most people don’t.
Yep, I took classes at 5 different universities over the course of the 5 years and one of them was in sunny, gorgeous, Seville, Spain.
Read MoreOh my god, it's my birthday. And I'm a quarter of a century old. I'm so calling BS on this.

Read MoreIt took me 24 years of my life to go to Frankenmuth, Michigan.
No, that wasn’t a typo. For those who have never heard of it, Frankenmuth - pronounced exactly how it’s spelled - is a small Germanic village in the middle of Eastern Michigan.
Read MoreA few years back I needed some space to think - that happens with me from time to time.
Back then I was living abroad and had the finances and freedom to jet-set at a moment’s notice, I thought what better way to clear my head than a cheeky wee beach holiday? So, that’s exactly what I had in mind when I booked a week’s vacation on the island of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.
Read MoreI love Great Britain. I am probably the biggest Anglophile of anyone I know. I have been obsessed with the culture, the food, the people, and the places of the U.K. for as long as I can remember. One of my favorite places in GB, without question, is Manchester, England.
