Skiing is the best feeling in the world. Especially in Verbier, Switzerland when the weather conditions are perfect, you have the greatest company and with the best equipment. And for that I went to Mountain Air (click here), a brand new ski shop next to the main lift in Verbier. As they have over 35 years of experience, this is the place to go to get everything you need for...
New York.. New York.. Who doesn't love New York?! With its big and famous streets as Broadway, Wall Street and Fifth Avenue, the beautiful bridges (my favourite is the Brooklyn bridge), its beautiful buildings (hello Empire State and Flatiron) as well as its romantic Central park, its crazy Times Square, iconic Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller centre and Grand Central Terminal. But it is also the city that is famous...
Our stay at the Graduate Hotel in Charlottesville was fun, convenient, funky & elegant! We always wanted to visit a University town and Charlottesville is one of the greatest in the USA. Our stay at the Graduate Charlottesville turned out to be a great surprise on our road-trip from Houston to New York! Charlottesville is one of the biggest and fun university towns to visit and it was the home of two Presidents of the...
The first time I heart about jet skiing on the Hudson in winter, I thought I didn't understand it correctly. It seemed to be crazy and definitely very cold. So I assumed there was another Hudson river on our beautiful planet earth I didn't know about. But soon enough I checked the Sea the City website and I found out it was exactly what it sounds like: jet ski...
Close your eyes and think of the most charming American residence, surrounded by trees and ridges, where music is playing everywhere and more fireplaces are crisping than you can count. Imagine a mansion where the elegance and the kindness of the innkeepers match the beauty of the mountains. At the Yellow House Bed and Breakfast in Waynesville, North Carolina, this is reality. It is a neo-classical house with a large history and history...
Memphis is the city of Elvis and Johny Cash; the city of blues, soul and rock & roll. It has a quirky charm, a cool history and is fairly romantic. Memphis is a city on the Mississippi river in southwest Tennessee and was named after the ancient capital of Egypt on the Nile River. It is also the town of bbq as well as ducks. Yes, you read it correctly,...
So last weekend we did it! We finally visited Charleston, the beautiful city in South Carolina, famous for its historic charm and well preserved architecture with its colourful houses. This town was on my bucket-list and the fifth stop on our road-trip, after Jefferson, Memphis, Nashville and Savannah. Charleston is the wedding capital of the USA as well as the city where the shot was fired that started...
It all started with an idea. A vague plan that we were only discussing with each other. A couple of months ago we started planning, as we had decided that this idea should become reality! Determining which way to go, which places to visit. Setting a schedule, and changing it again! But today, 1 week before we leave, it's all set and I'm super excited to tell you that...
Yay, I just arrived in the Netherlands! And even though I am very happy and excited to be here, it was a very long trip to Amsterdam. Normally the flight from Houston only takes 9 hours but because my sweet husband took us to the wrong airport - yes Houston has two airports - we didn't "take off" smoothly. We had to rebook our flight directly, and because...
As you know, we love to travel! Whether it is far away from home or a short drive, discovering new places is always an exciting adventure! And our last trip was to Dallas, a big city that is only 3 hours away from Houston. One of the most iconic hotels is the Omni Dallas Hotel and it didn't take long to decide that this was the place to...
