The last stop on my “Tour de France” was the historical city of Marseille (Californians- think Santa Cruz) and as a history geek I am going to force-feed you a bit of background history that I feel is worth noting! This southern French city dates back to the late 15th century when Marseille served as France’s […]

A Soccer Rendezvous | Euro 2016
In typical Michelle fashion a lengthy amount of time has passed since an event so now I feel inclined to write about it (I put the “pro” in procrastination). For the duration of your reading pleasure please disregard the fact that (spoiler alert!) Portugal won the Euro Cup and that the tournament is over because we’re […]
Ratatouille…It Sounds Like “Rat” and “Patootie”
Just over two years ago a highly anticipated expansion exclusive to the Paris park was opened in Walt Disney Studios, a space dedicated to Paris’ own “Little Chef” from the Pixar film Ratatouille! The pavilion is charming with its popping champagne bottle fountain and French street artists that will sketch your silhouette, along with an amazing […]
Must and Miss in Disneyland Paris
What’s a girl to do when she has to choose between spending time in Paris and in Disneyland? Split her time evenly, of course! Or at least that’s what this girl does! Making a one-day trip to Disneyland Paris is very do-able but I suggest you have some sort of plan for what you want to […]

Amongst other travel necessities it is always smart to travel with a foodie, and luckily I have one! What is a foodie? They are someone with a keen taste in what’s delicious and where to find it, kind of like your own Buzzfeed article! My long term foodie is Zaneta, and she lived up to […]
Travellers
A couple months ago a friend of mine approached me and asked if I would like to take part in a new project she was putting together. Of course I accepted and am horrible at keeping secrets so today I am elated to announce the project is ready for the public’s eye! Allow me to introduce […]
Summer School
Cambridge is nothing less than an inspiring University. If watching my friend get her Masters degree in a year wasn’t impressive enough, the long list of famous scholars that have attended the University is… Charles Darwin, Jane Goodall and Stephen Hawking to name just a few. Though I am not a student at Cambridge I […]
Taaluma Totes
Find me a person who doesn’t get excited when they see a package on their doorstep and I’ll turn them around and show you a crazy person. I was buzzing with so much energy when I found this box that my pup was elated too and joined me for the unveiling of my new luggage! Ta-da! […]
