How a City Stole My Heart and Never Gave it Back
Have you ever been somewhere and never wanted to leave? Was that a store? The beach? Or maybe it was the mountains? For me, it was a whole city. A city that I visited when I was in high school and then again when I was older. A place where I would love to settle down one day because I love it that much. This is a place where I could visit all the same attraction and still fall in love even more. Where is this you ask?

Best Places to Visit in Calistoga
One of the most relaxed and still relatively rural places in the Napa Valley has long been Calistoga. At the top of this narrow valley, the charming town has long been a refuge for long weekends, wine tasting and mud baths (both traditional and cutting edge).

A Nourishing Dosage of Native Culture
I landed in this magical city in Turkey. Distinct chatter amongst locals, nothing I seem to understand. First stop? Of course, the gorgeous Bosporus bridge that has everyone talking. It's the only bridge in the world that connects two(!) continents: Europe and Asia.
