This is a mini guide to Andros Island. I created this guide for people who may be Island hopping and want information about a specific island but not my whole 2 week itinerary guide. Since you may be mixing and matching islands, this will help you to plan for Andros!
Andros is an incredible and definitely still lesser known and discovered Island. Andros still has villages with that cyclade charm that you're looking for, but it also has so much more. There are hiking trails, incredible beaches, great restaurants, wonderful people, and truly stunning sunsets.
This guide will mostly include things that we personally did while in Andros, where we stayed and where we ate. It will also include future ideas and things I wish we'd had more time for on our stay. Things we'd surely do if we returned.

Every places that I loved the most in my Brazilian life.
From coffees to night life, grocery’s to fancy places, I have meticulously gathered all my favorites adresses, for you to experience an authentic Rio. I hope you’ll fall in love with this city as much as I did.
⚠️ About security:
Rio is effervescent. You can hear lot of things about danger here. It’s true, but as it is in every other big cities. As a Parisian, I wasn’t that much impressed.
Of course you have to be careful, but it’s all about commun sense.
- Do not film peoples or anything without autor in the favela.
- Do not show off & act chill.
- Do not drink to much, always keep your mind clear.
- Always keep a bit of cash with you in case someone tries to robe you.
- Please try to help the peoples around you & local economy. For exemple if you need a bottle of water or gums. it’s better to buy it from someone in the street than in a supermarket.
If you give respect, you receve respect.
Brazilian are some of the most welcoming peoples I’ve ever met.
⬇️ IN THIS GUIDE :
• Mirantes (vistas)
• Coffe Shops
• Restaurants (fancy, authentic, street food…)
• Bars & Night Life

Thank you for your interest in my Sweet Life Italy itineraries. Here is a 4 day itinerary of Gaeta with a day trip to the Amalfi Coast. I hope you enjoy some of my suggestions for your next trip to Italy and visit some of the off the beaten path places I adore, such as this lovely beach town Gaeta. If you do, please let me know in a message and maybe a photo.
As a travel consultant, I have been organizing bespoke tours all over France and Italy since 2012. I enjoy traveling and sharing my wonderful local small/slow travel experiences with the intension of helping small family businesses recover from the past couple of difficult years. I have more itineraries to share from around the world, so be on the look out.
I envision the Next Renaissance will be in the small towns and villages in Italy, where the people have lived close to the earth for generations, cultivating a simple but beautiful way of life we can all learn from. There is a shift away from big travel business, toward slow/small travel. It is the way I like to travel.
Enjoy! Buon Viaggio!! ...and please mention my name to the locals :)

Finding a place to grab coffee, eat lunch, or enjoy a nice dinner while traveling is hard enough as is, but when you’re in a big city, the options are truly overwhelming.
While my guides are full of one-of-a-kind restaurants for certain neighborhoods, this Essential Eateries map includes the top few Boston-specific chains that will help you eat like a local on the go. Not only that, but I include a backstory of each chain, my top menu suggestion, and what I consider to be the best location to visit.
This guide can also serve as a “What NOT to Eat” if you’re the kind of person who only wants to try single-location restaurants and want to determine if the place you’re interested in dining is a chain. Just pull up this map when you’re out and about to see where the nearest spots are when your tummy starts rumbling!
Get access to ALL the Boston area locations of 14 regional chains, including:
☕️ 2 Coffee Shops
🥐 5 Bakeries
🥡 5 Fast-Casual Restaurants
🍽️ 1 Table Service Restaurant
🍦 1 Dessert Spot

I love inns because they’re often nestled in cute small towns, are usually close to nature and they typically have more character than your average hotel. During covid, it also helps that they have a smaller room count.
Your travel dollars also will really count here, as inns employ more people than Airbnbs and have more of a connection to the local economy. Make a point to pop into as many other small businesses as you can nearby whichever inn you choose to help these little economies recover!
Here’s a guide to the benefits of each:
🌊 - seaside
🛋 - decor
🍣 - food
🏔 - hiking
🖼 - arts and culture
Know of other inns that should make the list?

It includes desert, seals, safari and historical towns. And you don't need to break a bank to do so, I spent on average 40 euros a day.

I am constantly surprised by how much there is to see and do in Boise. I think many people feel the same way as people have flocked to move there since the Pandemic. My husband is born and raised there so we visit regularly!
It also has a special place in my heart as it is the city where we got engaged!

Some of my favorite places in the area between Florence and Siena known as Chianti. It's not just the name of the wine, but also the area which produces it.
Greve is the "capital" of the area, not all the small towns and villages have town halls. Some are what's called a "borgo" a group of homes and perhaps a church. Fun to explore the small off the beaten track places as well.
There are so many lovely bars and shops to have simple snacks if you don't want a large sit down meal. People watching is one of my favorite pastimes. Letting it all soak in.
The 222 highway is often popular with bike riders as well and there are no bike lanes, so drive carefully, especially on the weekends.
Many of the small towns have a market day once a week. Where the mall comes to you. It's always fun to visit a weekly market.
More than just food! Clothing, shoes, purses, fabric, kitchen supplies and more. Often a Porchetta truck.

Alaska - Northern Lights Winter Adventure - 8 Nights / 9 Days

Alaska, for many Americans, is a great option - no passport required.
The itinerary provided is an overall trip outline that highlights some main attractions of this rugged land.
We also list some ideas of things to do in the towns that you visit. Most towns have "Visitor Information Centers", where you can find detailed information about local events and markets as well as current available activities.
This itinerary maps out a great route from Anchorage north to Fairbanks, with the goal of maximizing the opportunities to witness the Northern Lights.

Montréal is the largest city in Canada's Québec province. There is a lot of great food in Montreal so here are some of my favourites.
Although Quebec is a francophone province, most people in Montreal are bilingual so you will have no trouble managing English in shops and restaurants.
Enjoy and bon appétit!

Tokyo is a monster of a city; the size and amount of people in such a small space is incredible. There’s a ton to do and see, too—you could spend a lifetime there and still not have done it all. Most notably, Tokyo is immaculately clean considering its size and population. If you’re visiting Japan, you must make time to experience Tokyo, and this guide is the perfect place to start your Tokyo journey.

As a foodie and person who worked in restaurants for 6 years, I love discovering new places, especially in London where you can find all kinds of cuisines. 😋
This is a list of my favourites and I will keep adding to it as I keep trying new restaurants, it has all the budget ranges, so you can pick the one that fits your needs the most. ✨
🪙Low Budget: Up to £15pp
👛Budget: Up to £35pp
💸Pricey: Up to £150pp
✨Michelin: at least one star
When I refer to these prices, I have in mind a main with tap water for the low budget, while for the others it would be a nice meal, including a drink, starter and/or dessert.
I have never been to a Michelin-star restaurant, but I've added the ones I would love to try to the list.
On each restaurant tab, I will give you my own opinion and what you can expect, so that it is easier for you to understand the best option.
