*Gingerly steps onto empty stage and taps the mic* Um, hi. Is this thing still on? Opening a fresh page here, and sitting down to write on it — though admittedly, for this post I have done so sporadically over the course of nearly a full year (originally I intended it as a post about […]

 

Where we’re at: I’m recapping my two-country, three-island trip to the Caribbean in December 2023. This was my mid-way stop in Nassau, Bahamas! Want to squeeze in one last diving trip with Wander Women Retreats in 2024? Stay tuned for a big announcement on Women’s Dive Day, July 20th! Nassau is hardly an undiscovered gem — in […]

 

Traditionally, this post has been one of my most popular of the year. Traditionally, it has also come out in, well, January, ha. However, 2023 is turning out to be a year of big changes for me and there’s been a lot of uncertainty about how this year will unfold. Unlike in recent times, that’s not […]

 

If you all are following along on my Instagram Stories, you know that right now I’m off on a European Christmas Markets trip I have loosely planned since the beginning of the year. I have a lot to say about this trip in the near future, because it really has brought back the holiday spirit I’ve […]

 

Where we’re at: I’m recapping my trip to Dubai and the Maldives in March 2022. So here’s the thing: I always knew I’d go to Dubai someday. Probably on my way to somewhere else.  And that’s exactly how it happened. Because here’s the other thing: The Maldives are in the middle of nowhere. To get there, […]

 

It’s National Plan a Vacation Day! Here’s what I’ve got in the works… You know how the saying goes. If you want to make the universe laugh, tell it your pandemic-era travel plans! So I should start this post by saying, anyone who dares to share content such as this best be sitting at a wooden […]

 

Where we’re at: I’m time-traveling back to finally recap 2020, including this Wander Women Retreat in Koh Tao in March. This post is Part I of III. We’re re-launching this retreat in 2023 as a Learn To Dive Retreat! Learn more here. (While originally scheduled for 2022, the omicron outbreak forced us to postpone until next […]

 

Hi. Remember me? Gosh, when I started blogging in 2009, I don’t think I ever could have pictured writing this — tapping the mic to see if it’s still on; my first blog post back after an unplanned nine month hiatus. I’m actually physically cringing as I type that. Where does the time go? Warning: this […]

 

Where we’re at: I’m recapping my travels in 2020, including this trip to Israel in February 2020.  It had all started to become comfortingly familiar — the exact gate the daily Newark to Tel Aviv flight departed from, the recitation of pre-boarding announcement in English and Hebrew, the familiar mix of blue-haired Christian pilgrims, families of […]

 

Wanderland Workshops are here! Don’t miss our very first, a Travel in 2021 Workshop on Thursday, February 11th 2021, from 5-7PM EST! Where we’re at: I’m recapping my travels in 2020, including this criss-cross of my home country from January through February 2020.  It’s almost unimaginable in our current state of the world: In just three weeks […]
