The Sweet Freedom of Traveling Solo

April 4, 2017

For my “Travel Secrets” column this week for Paste magazine, the topic is a favorite of many adventurous travelers: going solo. Solo travel allows us to learn more about ourselves without the filter of companionship as well as connect more deeply to the experience. We believe every traveler should venture out on their own, at least once. … More The Sweet Freedom of Traveling Solo

40 Year Old Hostel Virgin

July 7, 2014

Ok, first off let me admit that title isn’t exactly accurate on a few fronts. But, who’s counting, right? For about the fortieth time last night someone, this time a Brazilian traveller during a fado-themed dinner at our hostel in Porto, told me I looked just like the lady from the movie, “The 40 Year … More 40 Year Old Hostel Virgin

Wooeeee, how we love the layers. Right?. #hello #lucca #anew
Golden hour. #lucca

How can I help but throwback to this fabulous party in NYC a few years ago. “P.C.” - you know this one: pre-covid. But also, “P.R.” - meaning pre-renovation.

Tell me this…WHY o why did we choose to take on another renovation project? 🤪🤪🤪 #crazyinlucca
This team! 💪 questa squadra! Renovations are not for the faint of heart, but thankfully we have these pros on our team. We really do enjoy this process (Because. We. Crazy). 🤪. #grateful #renovatinglucca #weloverenovationprojects #househuntersinternational
It’s a blue-sky-birthday kinda day. #grateful
“I didn’t realize it was a ‘concrete mixer in your living room’ scale renovation,” said a friend who stopped by yesterday to check our progress. And, I laughed. And, laughed. Concrete mixer in the lounge is hardly the half of it. So many renovation stories and pics to come. (Because…we are crazy)! 🤪
Lucca is putting on quite the spring show! 🌸 #santazita #flowerfestival #primavera2022 #luccaitaly🇮🇹
