I also blog for Sonesta Hotels. You can find my posts here.

With a blog called Travel, Wine, and Dine, you’d imagine that travel is a priority in my life, and it is.  Whether it’s a day trip in Massachusetts or other New England states, a visit to Sonoma or Napa, or a couple of weeks in Europe visiting family, being out and about rejuvenates our spirits, teaches us about the world and ourselves, and lets us soak up all sorts of new experiences. Now that I am a mom, family travel has become important to me. It might not be easy, but we want to bring our little guy to as many places as possible.

Below is a list of some of my favorite travel posts. Need travel advice? Please don’t hesitate to email me!

Africa

Our Serengeti Safari was my second visit to Africa. The first was to Tunisia when I was in college and studying abroad in Ireland.

Tanzania both tested my limits and brought up many fears while also stealing my heart. I would love to go back as soon as possible to repeat this trip again. I also dream of visiting South Africa for wine tasting!

Ireland

My husband is from Ireland, and I studied abroad in Galway. As such, it’s a home-away-from home for me and has a big piece of my heart. I am fortunate that I have had the opportunity to get to know Galway so well over the years and am always counting down to our next visit.
