The lush jungles of Nicaragua conceal much more than just wildlife and the streets of the city of Managua hold more secrets than vendors around every corner.

When I opened the first pages of The Ladies of Managua, I knew I was in for a treat. Having traveled to Nicaragua for my honeymoon, I fell in love with the beautiful country with unique traditions. So much so, that I plan to build a second home there one day and create a future. Continue reading →

I had the pleasure of reading David Downie’s new book, A Passion for Paris, and experience his stories. I enjoyed his detail, remarkable storytelling ability and wanderlust the book made me feel.

It takes about 5 months for wanderlust to hit me hard after going on a travel excursion, domestic or abroad. It’s a predictable countdown that has me searching flight times, hotel accommodations and even booking trips on Groupon almost year-round!
