Thanks for the comment, Nancy! I see you've been to Florence. Any advice or recommendations for a girl on a budget? I'm heading there in a week.

Hi Nancy! Yes, Ecuadorian Andes are wonderful! We did some serious mountaneering there, and had the mountains all to ourselves! Btw, I loved your blog. Actually, I was going pregnant with a blog myself, and seeing your blog made me decide at last. So there is a new blog heading to a screen near you soon:-)

About me

Matador intern, Musician (piano, singer-songwriter), globe trotter, travel writer and blogger, photographer, yogahead, vegan, consciousness and creativity lover.

Why I travel

Because I truly belive that travel is art. We have the ability to create masterpieces with our experiences.

Travel style

I love traveling with my husband, packing only a carry-on, ipod, nikon d80, and an open mind.

Ideal place to watch the sunset

a little village in the south of France called Ville Franche.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise

Coming home from bar hopping in Nerja, Spain.

Before I die I'd like to

Meet a Beatle, Get a record contract, buy and convert a farm to live in, take the Trans-Siberian, and study at an ashram in India.

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when

I lived with a Dutch family in Amsterdam for 6 months.

Let's collaborate

I would love to meet other travel writers and bloggers for the sense of community and ability to learn from each other. I would also love to meet travel photographers as well, since that's a developing interest of mine.

Favorite artist(s)

Rothko

Sports I do

yoga

I want to make a difference by

inspiring others to approach their lives with adventure, passion, and consciousness.

Tunes I rock out to

Bealtes, Nina Simone, Radiohead, Grateful Dead, Beck, Girl Talk, Pretty Lights, M.I.A, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Indie stuff like Fleet Foxes, Blitzen Trapper, and Bluegrass like Chris Thile, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Avett Brothers.

    Our pitbull is snoring. It’s a lazy Sunday morning and our couch potato dog, Zoey, sounds like a jackhammer at the foot of the bed.

    “Oh well,” I think. “I guess it’s a good time to get up anyways.” (Often times, getting a rescue dog even makes little annoyances, like being woken up...
