After driving from Manchester to England’s rugged Peak District to the posh Cotswolds to the dramatic Devon coast, we headed eastward towards London for the final stop of our British road trip – three days in the Surrey countryside at the newly opened Beaverbrook country house hotel. Steeped in charm and history, this quintessential English country […]

Last summer, during our trip to England we spent three days exploring the beautiful Devon coastline at Lympstone Manor. A historic grade II listed Georgian manor house overlooking the Exe Estuary, Lympstone Manor was opened by esteemed British chef Michael Caines and is truly a dream retreat in the English countryside. We arrived during the […]

I’m so pleased to share that Unearthing the Creative has featured me on their beautiful site that celebrates artistry, honest stories, and the creative journey. Founder and Editor, Stephanie, interviewed me about how my experiences as a traveler have shaped who I have become, both as a woman and as an artist, and I feel so […]

After spending a week in the Andalusian countryside with my family, Ryan and I drove north to the beautiful city of Seville. Within an hour of dropping off our luggage and heading out on foot, we both had fallen absolutely head-over-heels with the city and already were talking about when we would return next. The […]

This past fall we traveled to the rolling hillsides of Southern Spain’s Andalusia and spent the week exploring the beautiful region with my family. Our home was a white-washed hacienda just outside of the charming town of Ronda, nestled amongst groves of olive, pomegranate, and fig trees, so fresh and ripe that they were nearly […]

During our week in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, we took several day trips to nearby destinations on the French Riviera. In addition to the amazing Villa Ephrussi de Rothchild, my two favorite places to explore were the quaint fishing village of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the stunning Medieval town of Èze, perched on the edge of a cliff high above the […]

One of the highlights of our week in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat was visiting the famed Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild villa, perched high above the Mediterranean Sea. Constructed in 1905 by Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild, the pink villa is now a national trust and is one of the most beautiful and exclusive destination wedding venues on the French Riviera. […]

Perched on the tip of the fabled Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the historic Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat is an institution on the French Riviera and is also one of the most beautiful and luxurious destination wedding venues in the South of France. To celebrate our wedding anniversary, Ryan and I were lucky enough to spend nearly a week on […]

During our summer holiday in England (see our first portion of the trip – exploring the Peak District here), we spent three days in the world-renowned Cotswolds region, and as expected, absolutely fell in love with its beautiful countryside walks, unbelievably charming villages, friendly people, and overall country-chic aesthetic. Our gorgeous hotel, The Rectory Hotel […]

Earlier this summer we spent two weeks exploring the English countryside – something that had been on my bucket list for years. Perhaps its the fact that many of my favorite books and films have been set in England (Jane Eyre anyone?) or perhaps it’s the countless photos I have seen of rolling hillsides dotted […]
