If you haven’t yet made a visit to the The Albertine Bookstore in NYC, you are in for a treat. This beautifully designed book shop opened in 2014 as an initiative on the part of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, and is devoted to the exchange of French and English ideas.

One of the many great things about living in England is be the ability to visit amazing manor homes on a total whim. There is manor after manor, castle upon castle that one can visit here. It has been a real treat being able to visit many of them.

Spring Restaurant, located in the beautiful and iconic Somerset House in London is one of the most extraordinary dining experiences I’ve ever had.  Head chef Skye Gyngell truly has created “an experience which not only sings on the plate but lingers in the memory.”

Having lived in Germany for a short 6 months, I had the pleasure of traveling a few times to Berlin without the international flight so I could make a long weekend out of it. Berlin is such a vibrant, exciting city — which I know is such a cliched statement — but there you can feel the city moving by the minute as you walk around. I love going there and it helps that we have such good friends living there as well. That makes visiting any city so much more fun.
