Miami to Key West: A Road Trip Diary
Monday, January 29, 2018
With winter still going strong and turning snowstorms into bomb cyclones, a trip to the beach felt more than necessary. My family and I spent five days in January traveling between Miami and Key West to enjoy some Floridian sunshine before finishing out New York's greyest season. The Florida Keys had been on our travel lists for quite some time, with its mix of beautiful views and quirky charm and not much hassle to get there. For anyone planning a quick east coast trip that rewards with relaxation, read on for highlights from our road trip through south Florida.
Two Day Trips in the French Riviera
Thursday, January 18, 2018
Within the French Riviera is a cluster of beautiful coastal towns, all with their own unique characters. During our short time in Nice we took two day trips outside of the city to discover more of the charm that southern France has to offer. Between the colorful streets of Villefranche and the cobblestone alleyways of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, these brief ventures outside of Nice only made us want to return for more. We were only able to visit a tiny handful of the possible day trips in the Côte d'Azur, but I highly recommend exploring both if you find yourself in the area.
Winter in Nice, France
Monday, January 8, 2018
Happy 2018! With a new year always comes new commitments, and I'd like to put this blog back at the forefront of mine. My sister and I closed out 2017 in Europe, with most of our time spent in the stunning Côte Azur, or French Riviera. Despite winter being the off-season in this region, it still offers all the beauty and charm of any other season in southern France, without the hoards of tourists.
We stayed in Nice as a base to explore both the city itself and its surrounding towns. It is a colorful city of both old and new charm, an evolving culinary scene, and beautiful seaside views. Life feels easier in the French Riviera, especially with an overall quietude present in its winter air. As much as Nice is an ideally central location for trips to nearby towns, it offers a memorable cultural experience on its own -- some of which I'm sharing in this first post of the new year.
