Winter in Paris, France
Since summer came to an end and winter is lingering around the corner, I thought I’d write a post about Winter in Paris. In January of this year, I was lucky enough to go back to Paris.

Best Places to Visit in Capri
Oh Capri, how gorgeous can you be! When I was deciding between staying in Capri and Positano, I opted for Positano. This is because a lot of the hotels in Capri wanted a minimum stay of three days.

Here are the Best Places to Visit in Capri, Italy: HOW TO GET THERE: You can take a ferry from Positano to Capri. It’s available a few times a day for about 22 euros.

I was only in Copenhagen for one day/one night. This was mainly due to google flights suggesting that the cheapest way to Europe is via Norwegian Airlines , a non-stop flight from Los Angeles to Copenhagen.

As soon I landed in the afternoon, I relaxed, took a nap and then searched for tasty food. I didn’t have any particular restaurants in mind since I…

From the pictures I’ve seen online, Santorini looks absolutely striking. OMG! The moment I stepped out of the taxi and walked towards my hotel, the place looked unreal, almost dreamlike.

Best Places to Visit in Rome
To me, Rome is one of the most distinguished cities in Europe. Do you agree? To be honest, my trip to Italy was planned around Positano and Capri, not Rome. I figured I can just go to Rome on another trip but I’m so glad I got a glimpse of Rome, even for just a day/night. Needless to say, I was impressed and I’ll definitely be back! Here are the Best Places to Visit in Rome: DRINKS Since I was only there for a day/night, I had no particular restaurant reserved or planned ahead of time. I pretty much just walked around and found a place to dine. It wasn’t…
