Porto, Portugal is filled with so many fun things to do!

As a final farewell to San Diego, I decided to throw a Turkish tea party for my friends. I absolutely loved Turkey, and unfortunately rarely have an opportunity to use my Turkish tea set. When I went to Turkey, I spent hours upon hours walking through the Grand Bazaar, and it took everything I had not to buy everything in sight. When I finally decided to make a purchase,…
I absolutely love Antoni Gaudí’s most famous landmark, Park Güell. You simply can’t visit Barcelona without seeing it. Park Güell is Antoni Gaudí’s most colorful and playful masterpiece.

And it did not disappoint, I fell in love with Iceland as soon as I walked off the plane! While traveling from the US to Europe, Iceland Air was the cheapest at that time, so I purposefully booked a long layover. This meant I only had 18…
Ever heard of St. Michael’s Mount? No? I’m not too surprised, very few have. But maybe you’ve heard of Le Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France? If you haven’t, allow me to fill you in. This stunning island is topped with a castle-esque medieval monastery that would make the most beautiful fairytale princess turn green with envy. It is among France’s most stunning sights, and one of the most…
