PLATEAU MONT ROYAL: THE MOST ‘INSTAGRAMABLE’ NEIGHBORHOOD IN MONTREAL

I know I’m not alone when I admit that I rely on Instagram to help me plan the majority of my travels. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a good picture. Now that ‘geo-tagging’ is a thing, the perfect ‘gram’ locations become much more accessible to us.

And so I present to you: Plateau Mont Royal  Continue Reading

CANADA: NORTH AMERICA’S LITTLE SLICE OF EUROPE

Ohhhh, Canada! {Could I really start this post any differently? I mean. No. No is the answer.}

I’m back to writing. And more importantly, I’m back to feeling good about writing. It could be the TBC {total body conditioning} class I just returned from. It could be the piping hot peppermint tea I’m sipping with the windows wide open in my Brooklyn apartment. Or it could be the high I am still riding from my weekend away in Montreal, Canada.

A Day in New York City Under $20: New York on a Budget

5 Most Overrated Cities in Europe

It’s very hard for me to complain about any destination in Europe. Each has something to offer, whether or not it is worth devoting an entire afternoon to. I understand how difficult it can be to narrow down all of the places you want to see on your European vacation. You want to make the most out of every day and only waste time at the beach.

24 Hours in Tribeca: A Detailed Itinerary

I recently found myself in the triangle below canal street, also know as TriBeCa. There are certain neighborhoods that I am drawn to in any city. In London, you could find me in Notting Hill on any given day. In San Francisco, I would sip champagne in the Marina District on a Sunday afternoon. And in New York, it’s been a toss up between TriBeCa and Chelsea. Both neighborhoods contain so much hidden charm within the concrete walls of the city. Both also cost an arm and a leg. It’s obvious that I am not alone in my love for these areas of the city, as you will find locals swarming the best eateries and cafes each weekend. Continue Reading
