It took me 3 visits to London for the city to finally sink under my skin. I found it expensive, crowded, and honestly, a bit overrated. But finally, I get it: you need to give your London itinerary the right amount of time. You can’t visit for a day or two and cross London off…
It took me forever to start writing about New York City, but once I started, I had so much to say. After all, New York was my home for 9 years, and as a result I know the city better than any other in the world. I guess New York City is such an overwhelming…

New Orleans is my new favorite city in America… and it’s not just because if they ask if you want your cocktails to go. The music and food scene are so vibrant, and the city is endlessly quirky and unique. The best of New Orleans — beyond Bourbon Street!
