A Passion for Travel
As soon as we arrived in Eugene, I felt at home. And that’s not something that happens very often. Eugene just has a sense of calm and welcome about it, drawing me in right away. For the uninitiated, Eugene is a small city in Oregon, about an hour and a half drive from Portland. It’s
Hollywood. Doesn’t it bring to mind images of celebrities, high fashion, glamour, and wonderment? It does, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, the reality of Hollywood is a far cry from what you see and hear through the media. The Walk of Fame is really just a footpath — often with someone sprawled over the stars — and it seems
In my last post, I left us relaxing in Rovaniemi after a rather disappointing journey aboard the Santa Express. Pop over here to read about that, if you missed it. The next stop on our Finnish Lapland adventure is Levi, where we were hoping to find reindeer and the Northern Lights. Before leaving Rovaniemi, we

I don’t think I’ve ever felt as small in this big old world as I did during our short time in Flåm. Flåm is a wee village in Norway surrounded by the biggest mountains I’ve ever seen. Everywhere I turned, I was faced with sheer mountainsides, and I couldn’t be happier! Transporting yourself to Flåm
Twas the day after Christmas. This one was a Monday, and it proved to be a fairly regular day, as far as travel days go. Our bags were packed and tucked beneath us on our flight from London to Bergen. There was nothing particularly special about the flight. I don’t recall if I watched a
These monthly recaps give me the chance to keep you updated on what I’ve been up to, where I’ve been, and what’s to come on the blog. It also gives me a chance to share more about myself, my interests, and current obsessions. September has flown by in an absolute blur. I feel like the
