A week in Tuscany changed how I travel.

Waking up to the sound of birds and enjoying homemade pasta lessons with our hosts was unforgettable. I didn’t just visit Tuscany—I felt like I belonged there.

I found hidden gems in Cinque Terre.

Slowing down allowed me to explore quiet trails and stumble upon a tiny cliffside café. It felt like discovering a secret world.

Staying in a trullo was magical.

Puglia’s charm came alive in the evenings, sipping wine outside our trullo as the stars lit up the sky.

Your Guide to the North

My passion for Scandinavia and the Nordics began as a kid in Virginia, where I would sit in the back of the library admiring guidebooks about Iceland and the far north. Fast forward years later, and I found myself living in Norway and traveling extensively throughout the region.

My travel guides, photos, and work have been featured in the BBC, New York Times, Lonely Planet, NatGeo, and beyond. I have been blogging and writing for 15+ years and am currently based in Finnish Lapland.
