I causally sauntered along the medieval cobblestone streets marveling over the ornate architecture that surrounded me while the occasional picturesque cable car whizzed past me.

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…

Lviv is a city I was not expecting to find in Ukraine. Upon arriving I discovered it full of cobblestone streets, ornate architecture, picturesque cablecars, and beautiful patina domed bell towers. The beauty of this place felt as though I’ve stepped back in time to the golden days in Paris; long before it was overrun…

The Carpathian Mountains in the Spring feels like a dream. Dandelions and other colorful flowers dot the lush green landscape that encompasses you.
