No Siesta Til Spain

Lo siento, I just woke up from a 12 month blogging siesta. It’s been a busy year with my budding meditation business (more on Mind House here) and my ever-evolving personal life. But my travel game has still been going strong – all year long!

In August 2017 (yes, I am that delayed in posting), I ventured to Spain to spend a week in the late summer sun, with only a little rain (that fell mainly on the beach). I started my tour in Madrid, the elegant capital city. Then, I moved on to San Sebastian for a coastal retreat.

See below for what I did, what I wore, and where I ate, while traveling around northern Spain.

Roman Holiday: The Sequel

In the summer of 1999 I ventured to Europe for the first time ever and my first stop was Rome. It was an extremely hot day. I was heavily jet-lagged. And I almost fell asleep in my spaghetti dinner. Nearly two decades later, I barely remembered any of what I saw that trip. So a return to Rome was definitely due. [Read more…] about Roman Holiday: The Sequel

[JAPAN] LAND OF RISING STYLE

Clockwise: Tokyo’s Shibuya, Kyoto’s Fushimi-Inari-Taisha Shrine, a fond farewell from the Matsui Haonkan Ryokan in Kyoto, me as Tokyo tourist, view of Toba, Tokyo’s Imperial Gardens

Last month I spent my summer holiday in Japan, land of the rising sun. A very suitable nickname given its radiating heat. I moved about from the metropolises of Tokyo and Kyoto to the coastal town of Toba, finding 100 degree temperatures in each. City touring was a challenge and often left me feeling like I came back from a spin class, drenched head to toe in sweat. But thankfully the Japanese love ice cream, and it’s available everywhere! From green tea to black sesame, I indulged in some of the best ice cream flavours all week long, with the pinnacle iced dessert being tempura-battered vanilla ice cream. A classic dish met with quirky creativity – this embodies the Japanese style.
