My Story
Perpetually curious, foodie and chocoholic. Empty nester and dog mom who loves sharing the world with others.
My Travel Style
Love to experience activities authentic to a location – not tourist-centric itineraries. To me, it's about learning the art, history, culture, cooking and crafts that make a city or country special. I stay in the center of a city, while blending must-see sights and getting off-the-beaten-path.

A Guide to the International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Albuquerque, New Mexico is a vibrant city that fuses ancestral and colonial culture into what is now a cultural destination. It is also the host city for the annual International Balloon Fiesta every October, gathering hundreds of hot air balloons from all around the world in its sky. This event is a sure bucket-list opportunity to watch the show in childlike wonder by morning, day and night. And when you've seen enough balloons, Albuquerque's Old Town is a treasure chest of exploration and adobe architecture. There’s even something for visitors who love nature and hiking and those who want to venture out on a road trip to nearby cities like Santa Fe, New Mexico. Albuquerque is a true gem year-round, but its sky lights up even more with hundreds of beautiful hot air balloons in October.

Best Things to Do in Juneau, Alaska
While working for cruise line, I spent weeks in Alaska meeting the ships as they arrived. When the ships left port, I got to experience all of the tourist activities, as well as spend time in the locals' favorite spots. With so many bucket-list worthy things to do, I believe everyone needs to experience Alaska at least once in their lifetime — whether on a cruise or from a land-based vacation.
