Café Daguerre is a lively Parisian brasserie serving classic French dishes with inviting sidewalk seating. I am so grateful for this perfect French bistro moment.

Some hotels hook me the moment I begin researching

Some hotels hook me the moment I begin researching, and Hotel Eldorado Paris was one of them.

The property provides charming and eclectic Bohemian style rooms in a luxurious central Parisian location. The interior design was stunning, vintage and joyful. I received an upgraded street view that was beyond beautiful. This is what I came to Paris for. Something different from my previous visits.

Read how the little things made this place unforgettable for me at the link in my bio.

St. Vito Focacceria blends Sfincione pizzas with m

St. Vito Focacceria blends Sfincione pizzas with modern Italian-American fare in The Gulch District of Nashville, Tennessee.

Sfincione is Sicily’s answer to pizza – but fluffier, bolder, and unapologetically its own thing. I didn’t end up having it during my trip to Sicily. But, enjoying it in Nashville, Tennessee was just as good. And now I need to find a place that offers it in Los Angeles!

One of the most beautiful gifts in life is the way

One of the most beautiful gifts in life is the way a single “hello” can bloom into connection.

Meeting Thom at a wine event led to an evening of discovery at @baroolosangeles in DTLA—where I ventured deeper into South Korean cuisine beyond what I thought I knew. From the chef’s bar, every dish felt like an education in flavor, culture, and creativity. 🍴✨

We ended the night at @deathandcompany , with cocktails that reminded me that beauty exists not just in what we taste, but in the company, the conversations, and the courage to say yes to new experiences. 🍸

Adventure doesn’t always require a plane ticket—it can be found in our own city, when we remain open to connection, curiosity, and the joy of learning through food.

“Oh, you like my hat? Thanks! I made it in Paris.”

“Oh, you like my hat? Thanks! I made it in Paris.”

Beset by a combination of time zone changes and insomnia, I found myself awake in Paris at 2am. I couldn’t go to sleep because technically, my body was still operating half on Pacific Time and half on Eastern Time. So, throw in a flight to Paris that’s 8 hours ahead of your normal time zone, and there’s no doubt as to why I had a sleeping problem.

Luckily, instead of staring at a wall, wondering why I couldn’t sleep, I decided to be productive. Which meant booking activities for my few days in Paris.

Thumbing through Airbnb Experiences on my phone, I stopped scrolling at a rather unique title: “Craft a Souvenir hat with Lady Gaga’s Renowned hatmaker. To say that I was intrigued was an understatement. I read the workshop description and then clicked over to MiniMe’s Instagram to check out their visual story. Satisfied with my research, I booked the experience.

I am so glad I did. It was SO FUN!

First, since my hotel, Hotel du Louvre, was in the 1st Arrondissement, getting to MiniMe’s location in the 2nd Arrondissement was a quick taxi ride away. Why did I have to take a taxi? Because attempting to take an Uber in the city is a seemingly worthless endeavor.

Arriving at the location, I was a little nervous. This was my first full day in Paris. Would the class be in English and French? Would it be a nice experience? Turns out, I had absolutely nothing to worry about.

Julian Farms & Orchard in Julian, CA offers fun ex

Julian Farms & Orchard in Julian, CA offers fun experiences – including shooting apple cannons and feeding goats – in a scenic countryside setting.

Just over an hour from San Diego, the drive to Julian Farms & Orchard takes you through the stunning Cuyamaca Mountains, with views that instantly start to shift you into a more relaxed state of mind.

Finding Julian Farms & Orchard was easy—the pumpkins and signs lining the entrance made sure of that. Parking was a breeze, and scanning our mobile tickets at the entrance stand was even easier.

Now, while the pumpkins were tempting, I honestly preferred photographing them over hauling one back home.
