  • Top 5 things pilots say that puts anxious flyers in panic mode

    Posted on April 11, 2018

Whether it’s a weird sound at night or just a strange coincidence, there are times in my travels when I think back like…oh, that was really weird, maybe even […]

  • My Trip to Havana, Cuba, and Why You Need to Go

    Posted on July 17, 2017July 30, 2017
    my trip to havana

    Havana is alive on a Sunday night at 10 p.m. Old Havana Plaza feels energetic. A lanky, young Cuban guy walks around with a buzzed shuffle and a mostly-full bottle of Havana Club in one hand, a cigarette in the other. The sexy rhythm of salsa music is the only thing anyone can hear. It’s […]

  • My Red-Hot Weekend of Art, Food and Fruko in New York

    Posted on June 21, 2017
    My weekend in new york 2

    It’s been a few years since my last trip to New York, but a stay in Times Square is a completely different experience than a weekend in Brooklyn. A melting pot of cultures, Hasidic jews share their space with Puerto Ricans while Dominicans neighbor up to Indians. It’s a place where a walk down Nostrand Avenue […]

    Cuba: Visit the Hotels Stay at Casa Particulares

The Pros and Cons of Staying in […]

  • My Life on Skis—Park City Edition

    Posted on February 1, 2017June 2, 2017

    I’m not a very adventurous skier. I learned to ski about 5 years ago, and maybe that’s why. I was already a seasoned worrier. I tore my ACL trying to get off of a lift about a year after that. So to say that I’m a cautious skier is an understatement. That’s why, during my […]
