Northern Lights
I can admit, I wasn’t completely prepared for my excursion to Reykjavik. I’ve seen dozens of images of the northern lights. I knew it was a site I needed to see with my own eyes and capture with my own lens. Without any prior research, I simply assumed that you go to a certain area […]

The Bourbon Tunnel
When I booked a walking tour of Naples and it included the secret tunnels, I had no idea of how much I would love the experience. If you are in Naples, The Bourbon Tunnel is a sight you cannot afford to miss. The tunnels date back to the World Wars and provide an understanding of […]

Fattoria il Poggio
I’m not much of a wine drinker, however, I do have an international wine collection. So I was ecstatic to taste and indulge in some of the cuisine and wines of Tuscany and Fattoria il Poggio. Fattoria il Poggio didn’t offer a normal take on wine tasting, in the best way. They explained their wine […]

Burj Khalifa
I’m unsure who can have anything negative to say about the world’s tallest man-made skyscraper. The Burj Khalifa stands 830 meters tall. When you walk in you can decide whether to buy a regular ticket or pay extra for express access to the top of the structure. I am a lover of the arts. So […]

The Great Wall
I generally enjoyed climbing a portion of the Great Wall. In my opinion, if you’re in the area it is something you can’t afford to miss. For the women, I would make the suggestion of dressing like you’re going for a walk or hike and definitely pack water. I saw women on the Great Wall […]

Atlantis Dubai
I was in Dubai to celebrate my 25th birthday and I dreamed of staying at Atlantis. When I looked up the price for a week, the average was about $3,500. So I decided to use points and stay at a Sheraton Hotel instead. I’d rather have that amount of money available for spending money or […]

Chichén Itzá
The Mayan Ruins are breathtaking and full of culture. Once you’re on the ancient grounds you begin to understand how the Chichén Itzá landed itself on the 2007 New Wonders of the World list. Due to the age of the ruins, visitors are no longer able to walk on the temples and pyramids but for […]

Christ of the Redeemer
The Christ of the Redeemer doesn’t disappoint. If standing in front of the 125 feet figure with your arms spread wide imitating the figure of Jesus isn’t breathtaking enough, this statue is perched on the top of Corcovado Mountain. So regardless of where I traveled in Rio, I was able to look up and see […]

Maasai Maya Reserve
In Africa, they have the Big Five. The big five consists of the lion, elephant, water buffalo, leopard, and white/black rhinoceros. There are only a few countries in Africa that you can catch a view of all five and when you do it is considered an accomplishment. My visit to Maasai Maya Reserve was my […]

Sheikh Zayed Mosque
As a Christian, I went to the Mosque not looking at it as a spiritual place of worship but wanted to see the architecture. However, because I respect every culture and religion you have to dress the part. For women, this means not wearing shorts, pants, or a short skirt. For men, this means no […]
