The Best Two-For-One Museum Ticket in Paris: L’Orangerie and Musée D’Orsay

While touring the halls of Sainte-Chappelle, I made some friends who asked me what I was planning on doing during my trip. That’s the first time I’d heard of the Musée de l’Orangerie. I love Monet’s water lillies paintings; when I was a kid, I took charcoal classes at the local bookstore, and learned how Money would paint the same scene, again and again, at … Continue reading The Best Two-For-One Museum Ticket in Paris: L’Orangerie and Musée D’Orsay

Social Seating in Munich, Germany: When Conversation is the Aim of Art

Sometimes, something you’ve been waiting for can sneak up and surprise you. In another life, I was a personal assistant at Condé Nast—at House & Garden, and World of Interiors, magazines. I didn’t know much about interior design (which is the topic that both magazines are experts in, from different points of view), but I was a very good PA, and I was excited to … Continue reading Social Seating in Munich, Germany: When Conversation is the Aim of Art

This weekend, my partner has an all-day softball tournament. The last time I had the apartment to myself, I told myself I was going to enjoy being alone. Instead, I got bored and cleaned. CLEANED. Because I’m risking becoming a boring homebody, I told myself this Saturday I am getting out of the city and explore England a bit. I don’t want to wander too … Continue reading Four Day Trips to Take from London, England

Surviving a Heat Wave If You’re Travelling to the UK

There’s a heatwave in the UK, and it. Is. SWELTERING. I can’t stress enough how much the heat in the UK at 33 degrees is unbearable—and how it seems like no one outside the city believes me when I say this. Truthfully, it’s not just the heat; it’s a perfect storm of humidity (the air is hot and damp), the houses were designed to keep … Continue reading Surviving a Heat Wave If You’re Travelling to the UK

Four Things I Wished I’d Planned Better In Paris

I planned my solo, 10-day trip to Paris for months. I made lists, saved tiktoks, and built myself mini-schedules. But even with all that prep, there were things that I realized too late that I should have booked sooner, gotten to earlier, or educated on myself on more thoroughly, before arriving. I’m hoping sharing my story will help you avoid any of my mistakes! The … Continue reading Four Things I Wished I’d Planned Better In Paris
