Winter Wanders in Prague, Czechia
Prague is probably my top recommendation for anyone’s first glimpse of Europe. Its beauty is on par with Paris and Florence but it still lends a sense of discovery since the tourists haven’t yet covered every corner (expect more in the Christmas market season/summer). Statues you’d usually find in museums can be found in everyContinue reading “Winter Wanders in Prague, Czechia”
Albania | Berat Yoga Retreat
I traveled to Albania to attend my friend Arta’s yoga retreat.

Upon arrival I learned that: A) there is no tourist information deskContinue reading “Albania | Berat Yoga Retreat”

Behind the Retreat
Social media is a world of ideals, just a sliver of a reality which is messy, which makes mistakes, which meets one struggle after another yet perseveres. Here’s how it really happens.
Ski the Dolomites (Italy)
It’s my third winter in Europe and finally time to explore some nearby skiing. This weekend we opted for the Dolomites in Trentino, N. Italy. A 2.5 hour drive from BGY airport, Vale di Sole and Madonna di Campiglio did not disappoint! We stayed at a very cute and cozy Jägerhaus B&B in the villageContinue reading “Ski the Dolomites (Italy)”
Travel + Flow Retreat
A week of exploration and grounding, this retreat is designed to balance the exciting experience of international travel with a foundational morning and evening “flow” (yoga/pilates/barre) practice to frame the days with self care.
My Iceland Stopover IRL
My Iceland Stopover In Real Life I had an image of the island in my mind. I’d heard about the remote natural wonders which friends explored via camper van. I pictured wilderness, expansive and pristine, dotted with waterfalls and framed by glacial peaks. As our plane began its descent through a thick blanket of clouds,Continue reading “My Iceland Stopover IRL”
Missoula, Montana, USA (my hometown)
Getting Around Town Public transportation is FREE in Missoula. The Mountain Line (public bus) has a great app which will let you know how and when to get where you need to go. Udash is associated with the University and offers late night service from downtown to the corner of Arthur and Sussex Ave. UberContinue reading “Missoula, Montana, USA (my hometown)”
