Greek Islands: Mykonos and Santorini
Mykonos was a vibe… it just wasn’t our vibe. We choose to stay on the southern part of Mykonos, near Paradise Beach where we spent three nights at the Soho Roc House.

Viva! Viva! Las Vegas, is back baby. My girl friend and I were in desperate need of a good, long weekend of proper fun. Indulgent, booty shaking, dressed to the 9s kind of fun- the kind that only Vegas could offer. I unapologetically love Vegas and believe that with a little bit of “openminded-ness” you…

Things I loved in Aruba
So, I accidentally moved to Aruba for a month. I went there on a Thanksgiving vacation, fell in love with a handsome dutch kite-surfer, canceled my flight four times, went home for a week for Christmas and right flew back for New Years. As one does. Ask me about it over a drink if you…
