Hungarians Do Wine! Yes they do
Did you know that Hungarians KNOW Wine? This quintessential Hungarian Wine experience was an excellent evening of tastings and education and many generous glasses of liquid gold.
Is it really ruined though?
Is it really ruined though? When reinventing the wheel is a brilliant idea because sometimes you build it better the second time around…

The hidden mini statues of Budapest
What do a murdered squirrel, a tiny tank a missing urinal and Hungarian puppet have in common? My quest for the hidden mini statues of Budapest. The scavenger hunt of all scavenger hunts.
To Bitola and Back
The Sleepy City of Bitola, the story of a journey to the south of Macedonia for a glimpse of a quaint and charmed life.

What does a spomenik shaped like a cement molecule and the Elvis of the Balkans have in common? Kruševo, a BEAUTIFUL little town perched high in the Macedonian mountains.
An Epic Tour of the East
Getting out of the city to explore the countryside and a whole new perspective is born. It was a monumental day with a legend of a guide and driver. Macedonian people are epic! Epic with expression, epic with kindness, epic with generosity.

A nature lover’s haven with the most mountain peaks in the world. Count me in! A landlocked country in South Eastern Europe, another mysterious member of the Balkan elite.
Belgrade and the Bespoke Lifestyle
Living a fancy life…Belgrade and the Bespoke Lifestyle of custom designers. Ateliers freckle the streets of this city…if creativity ever existed anywhere, it’s here in Belgrade.
Is there more to us than just an objectified experience of just existing?
If ever there were bonus points for active participation in life, I am claiming all the bonus points. Are you living externally or are you a contemplative soul?

A mysterious military island with secret bunkers and tunnels designed to withstand nuclear attack, just off the coast of Vlorë.

Today I adventured to the sea, the beach, a winery and had an epic day… I am officially a ‘Lady who lunches’…even if only for one day.
Hiking at Bovilla Lake
Finding paradise just outside the city. Up, up and over to soak up the views at Bovilla lake.

Learning Secrets of the Artisan Craft in Krujë
Strolling through the cobblestone streets of Krujë’s medieval old bazaar you get a sense of as though you are walking through a passage steeped in history. A day in Krujë, learning the artisan crafts from the masters who have been there for generations upon generations.
Visit to the Albanian North: Exploring Shkodra
Shkodra is the doorway to the country (from the North of course) for the magical natural landscapes in almost every direction. East down the Drin River through canyons, west to the Adriatic Sea and beautiful beaches, northeast are the Albanian Alps.

Heavenly Bliss, homemade traditional Albanian dishes. In case you weren’t sure, I love food. Now you know!
Tiranë Street Food & 3 Bazaars Extravaganza
Fortune telling in Turkish coffee, bazaar extravaganza, street food and Raki and a fated watermelon incident. Buwahaha, 10km later it was a perfect day and I barely even noticed it was 41 degrees….until I climbed the stairs in my apartment building caring my 25 lb watermelon. Still, it was worth it.
