Having a pool at your hotel in New Orleans seems like a must in the summer months, doesn’t it? The heat and humidity can make sightseeing exhausting without a place to cool off. I don’t discourage anyone from visiting New Orleans at any time of the year, but the warmer (ok, scorching hot) months come with some warnings. Water from …
New Orleans, my hometown. Fashion, one of my favorite topics. I’m so excited to combine the two in this blog for you and help you dress in ways that allow you to enjoy New Orleans the most. Growing up here, I never realized what a destination it was. The way we are raised here is very unique to how other …
I’ve been traveling to Paris as a solo traveler for years now and personally stayed in every hotel on this list. I have tried many, many types of accommodations, and have settled on the fact that central Paris boutique hotels are the right fit for me. I’m thinking that if you’re reading this, you feel the same. Paris is a …
I’ve lived in New Orleans most of my life, so ghosts are simply part of the landscape for me. They aren’t novelties reserved for ghost tours. And they aren’t new to me or anyone from New Orleans. Some people are bigger believers than others, but we all know New Orleans is on the haunted side. People come here to experience …
Having lived most of my life in New Orleans, I would consider myself somewhat of an expert on my city. When I went into real estate in 2011, it became even more so because I got to know many parts of the city that I would have likely never have known. People tend to stay in their bubbles – in …
I’ve been solo traveling for over twenty years, and I feel like I’m only just getting started. My first solo trip was on a whim when I lived in Atlanta, and I took off to London for a week by myself. Though it’s hard for me to remember the details of all of it, I had my camera and my …
A short drive from my hometown of New Orleans on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, a magical little city called Ocean Springs, Mississippi awaits your visit. My connection to this city was immediate, and I knew I had to go back (and I have been back many times). Prior to the pandemic, I had little appreciation for the small cities and …
As a lover of Paris, it’s a place I travel to quite often. Each year the length of my visits gets longer, and the frequency higher. Paris is my soul city, and I can’t stay away. Walking around Paris is like walking in an outdoor museum, and I never get tired of the incredible sights. The endless bridges, the stunning …
New Orleans is famous for a lot of things: Mardi Gras, Bourbon Street, Voodoo, crawfish, and lots more. As a local, spring break in New Orleans might just be the best time for a visit to our unique city. It’s a time where we are emerging from Mardi Gras, entering warmer (but not oppressively hot) weather, and beginning to enjoy …
Being from New Orleans, I’ve probably attended about 38-40 Mardi Gras seasons thus far. I’d say that makes me somewhat of an expert on certain (not all, of course) Mardi Gras happenings around town. I’ve always loved carnival season, and I rarely miss it, though I have been known to duck out for the last days and go snow skiing. …
