Left: Surfers as seen from the pier at Hanalei Bay, Right: Ohi Ohi market. I’ve stayed in Kauai every month of the year and now return annually around the holidays.

Over the last few years of living in New England, I’ve been fortunate enough to experience New England’s fall foliage in a number of different ways.

At the end of last month we took a short trip to Charleston, a city I’ve been wanting to explore for years.

What I Wish I Knew Before Visiting Athens

Katie Bellusci — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 20:38:36 +0000

When planning a trip to Greece, Athens is often seen as just a necessary stopover or the place you land before heading to the islands. But after spending time there on multiple trips, I’ve come to appreciate it as more than just a layover. Athens is complex: chaotic, beautiful, rough around the edges, and layered with history that feels present...

When I first learned of Tinos, I was surprised no one had recommended it to me before. Just a 15-minute ferry ride from Mykonos, Tinos remains relatively undiscovered: quieter, more authentic, and dotted with traditional villages that feel worlds away from its famous neighbor. After 10 days exploring hidden corners and uncovering one gem after another, Tinos has become one...

Updated for 2026 with current hotel recommendations, restaurants, and travel tips. Folegandros, Greece is a hidden gem conveniently close to Santorini yet wonderfully less visited.
