How to Avoid Jet Lag

Hey there, Jetlag Junkies! I live by the mantra that jet lag is totally worth it because of the experiences you get to have when you travel. I mean, hello. I named my business The Jetlag Experience!

Best Place to Visit in Italy

Ciao, Jetlag Junkies!I’m sure it comes as absolutely no surprise to you that I love Italy. But here’s the thing: There’s nothing particularly original about “loving Italy”. It’s sort of like saying, “I love movies,” or “I love puppies”. Italy is easy to fall in love with, and since so many visitors have, its appeal to travelers is magnified. Whether..........

Iconic European Photo Ops

My answer may sound simple, but it’s the most complicated part of my job: I have good connections. “Connections, Connections, Connections!” You’ve heard it said of real estate that..........

A Big Change I’ve spent these last couple of months slowly transitioning my home office into our old guest room. Nothing tells you what you can (and can’t) live without like moving, right? In this case, I really need to bite the bullet and get rid of a few things. This business is kind of like my child, though, and..........

10 Commandments of European Travel

Why we need rules for European Travel Quite simply, we need rules for European travel because we have a bad habit of getting in our own way (on top of everyone else's). As an avid traveler myself, I've seen first hand how not following some simple principles can wreck a trip you've dreamed of and saved up for. I always..........

6 Reasons Why Tuscany Has My Heart

The allure of Tuscany. You may have heard me say that it was not love at first sight between Italy and me. Perhaps this was because I so expected to love all of Italy—and I didn’t.
