Often, I go to the art. But, sometimes, when I’m lucky, the art comes to me. Such was the case this past winter with the Met’s special exhibit, Michelangelo: Divine Draftsman & Designer. As soon as I read that the Met was hosting an exhibit on Michelangelo, I knew I had to attend. I’ve been … More New York: Michelangelo at the Met
I could write a fancy introduction, or I could be straightforward about what this is. The fact is, I’ve written about what I ate in London, where I had tea, the Christmas decorations I saw, the exhibitions I visited (at the V&A and at Kensington Palace), and the flowers I ogled. And yet I still … More London: from Harry Potter to Hamilton to Hampton Court (and Beyond!)

Located in East London near Shoreditch, Columbia Market is open every single Sunday, year-round. I wasn’t sure what I might find, visiting … More London: A Colorful Morning on Columbia Road
As I was planning my trip to Oxford, I stumbled across Blenheim Palace in my research. A huge, fancy country house? Sign me up. Located not far from Oxford (about a 20 minute cab ride), Blenheim Palace is home to the Duke of Marlborough. Though it’s dubbed a “palace,” royals don’t live there; however, it’s … More Oxford: A Blustery Morning at Blenheim Palace
