I walked through the stately doors of the recently and exquisitely renovated historic Adelphi Hotel in downtown Saratoga Springs. After passing through the chic new age Victorian décor of the lobby I entered their renowned steakhouse, Salt & Char.

Picture this: you’re sitting at a café in Lisbon. Classic trolley cars are driving by on the cobblestoned lined streets while you watch, sipping some of the best red wine you’ve had in a while and devouring a plate of the most amazing tuna pate you could imagine. You get the bill and notice it…

So many times when I tell people where I’m going or where I’ve been I’m always greeted with a “Why?” I quickly respond, “Why not?” People live so much of their life being fearful of what could happen if they traveled somewhere that they never actually go anywhere, or do anything. They always…

St. John, the smallest of all of the US Virgin Islands, is in my opinion the most beautiful. Although it isn’t the easiest to get to (no airport on the island) it is only a 30 minute ferry ride from St. Thomas and worth every minute. It’s home to a lush national park covering almost 2/3…

Pucón, Chile was my first stop on my week long Chilean adventure- and what a way to start. Driving through this picturesque town you wonder ‘Did my plane take me to Switzerland accidentally?’ with its alpine charm. Beautiful wooden buildings sit on the edge of enormous lakes with snow-capped volcanoes peaking above. Pucón Chile is…
