A polarization of beauty and sin, bicycle bells and flowing canals to windows filled with scantily clad women; it’s amazing this city functions so well. In fact, it seems to be exactly what we all should aspire to – adopting the idea of live and let live. No one seems to be scandalized by the tolerance of soft drugs and prostitution at all in Amsterdam. In fact, it makes the scenic areas of the city even more pleasing, as it shows how harmoniously sophistication and a little hedonistic fun can…
It’s time to let the world know I’m nuts about everyone getting the chance to feel good. Alongside the travel and wellness features throughout the Crooked Flight blog posts, I now have a small travel/wellness shop with some of my favorite finds, celebrating travel and looking great doing it. I’m thrilled to launch this new venture and have some of my own favorite accessories inspired by adventures worldwide – from palm trees in southern Spain to yoga in Sri Lanka. I hope to further motivate others to take their own…
Business and pleasure go hand in hand for me these days. I automate key tasks so I can work hard and play hard. It works great for me personally, as I’m able to travel for my work and also take time to relax while on the road. I also learn more here how can I achieve success in business. Business coaching has also been a necessity for decades and an extremely useful tool for some of the most successful businesses out there. Not only that, but if you’re looking to…
The stack of pancakes, avocado toast, and fluffy scrambled eggs I had in New York City was a game changer. Not only was the food unforgettable, but every bite also came with a bottomless glass of prosecco mimosas or cocktails. What was this sorcery?! In Boston, there are laws against offering unlimited drinks, happy hour specials, and any other deal that has to do with alcohol. So when I hopped over to NYC for a long weekend, it all felt like a revelation. Everywhere I looked were happy hours, wine…
My dreams are filled with beignets and etouffeé. The impact Louisiana left on me in a culinary sense was magic. I had no idea there was such a rich and diverse scene that dates back centuries. The way locals have blended together various influences of food from around the globe is unique to this state, and one I was happy to indulge. Super simply put, you can find Cajun cuisine more out in the suburb or country, while Creole has caught on more in the cities. But these days you…
Sunshine during the day and vibrant nightlife when the evening sets in. What more could you want in a destination? South Carolina is one of those states on the east coast that might be overlooked, but is well worth the time spent there for all it has to offer. As a vacation spot in itself or simply a pit-stop on your road from north to south (like mine!) it’s a blast to explore along the beach-y coast and its eclectic cities. With ample places to stay overnight in Columbia, Myrtle…
With so much to experience in this plucky peninsula of Wisconsin, I barely that time to squeeze in all the highlights. It was such a fun, sunny and delicious trip – my first time in the Midwest, really. I tried to have zero expectations of what I might find there, and was pleasantly surprised around every corner. I’d certainly go back for the lakeside activities, hearty cuisine and thriving creative scene. Let’s get right to it! Door County Highlights Country House Resort Hands down the best place to stay in…
One year ago I couldn’t board the plane to Sri Lanka because I thought I couldn’t breathe. Today I’m writing this from another plane on my way down to Portugal. Cool as a cucumber, working and enjoying the view from the window seat. Sure, having no turbulence has helped this particular flight, but overall, I seem to have a good handle on things. It’s not close to perfect, but I can happily say I’ve avoided flight-related panic attacks for a long, long time. The worst part about having mild anxiety…
Florida is the state I visit the most outside my home state of Massachusetts. If I was ever to say I was some sort of American travel connoisseur, it would certainly be about the Sunshine State. There’s great parts and gnarly bits too, but that’s what I love about it. I especially revel in places to explore when everyone leaves the beach and head out for the night to discover the debaucherously delicious and fun. I have some ideas from the obscure to the unmissable in a few of Florida’s…
Places like London and New York are massive, sprawling expanses that are home to millions. While Boston seems to be a much smaller city, it’s in fact surrounded by other ‘cities’ that make up the area as a whole. It can be confusing, as some areas are considered metro neighborhoods but have their own names,. Others are separate cities all together, but have subway stops on the main city lines. Regardless, it’s well worth venturing outside downtown to see the best parts of Boston’s local scene and style. Cambridge Home…
