My Story
Doctoring is my day job, mothering is my full-time gig and traveling is my escape.
My Travel Style
I caught the travel bug during a semester abroad in Madrid and never recovered. While the "backpack-and-hostel" days are behind me, I do enjoy finding luxe and boutique accommodations that won't break the bank. Finding bookstores in each city I visit is my superpower.

She was well-prepared with concise descriptions of places of interest and maps to get to them by foot or taxi. All entrance fees were reserved and paid for ahead of time. Many, many long lines were averted. But best of all a personal tour guide with a driver was engaged for the more distant venues. The tour guide was so personable and very well-versed in history and other interesting facts.

Summertime on the Mid & Lower Cape
Cape Cod is a beautiful destination any time of year, but summer is when the Cape really shines. Although it is quintessentially New England, even West Coasters can appreciate its uncomplicated approach to the simple pleasures of sea, shore, and sand. As it juts out into the Atlantic Ocean, the south-facing beaches encounter deeper waters and more wind (think kite-surfing), whereas the bayside beaches are protected and provide almost limitless tidal flats to explore. In addition to its natural beauty, the Cape is home to an extensive historic and cultural heritage, making it easy to choose from a number of rainy-day activities should a summer shower cloud the horizon.

Getting to Know Worcester, Massachusetts
Although it is often eclipsed by its swankier neighbor to the east, Worcester is the second largest city in New England, and has many cultural attractions, historical sites and fabulous eateries to make it a destination well worth visiting. You can hike in the summer and ice-skate in the winter, sample local beers and global cuisine and wonder at an Andy Warhol and wander in a used bookstore, all while being in a hub of higher education. Worcester is a college town at heart, and it boasts several top-notch universities, including College of the Holy Cross, Clark University and the UMass Chan Medical School.
