Enjoy these pictures from an afternoon stroll in downtown Paris. Pastries, the Louvre, Notre Dame and the Seine River were wonderful pit stops on my stroll, and I am sure when you visit you will find even more gems in this romantic city.

To do a successful self-guided chocolate tour of Brussels is possible! I did it not too long ago. The place to make it happen is the Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, rich with history and chocolatiers.

From Mary’s, the first woman chocolatier, to Pierre Marcolini’s unique and tasty treats, there are so many great shops to visit. Neuhaus was full of magical displays and wonderful taste combinations. La Belgique Gourmande offered specialty and traditional treats that were great for souvenirs and an afternoon treat! Corné Port-Royal had their award-winning pralines and truffles that were delectable.

Perfect weather. Idyllic experiences. Beginning of Spring.

It was the perfect combination for London, UK adventures.

From Chinatown to Broad Street, I loved visiting London in early Spring. Less lines and great walking weather to explore many neighborhoods in the city, I would highly recommend this time of year for a London trip!

Trip highlight was visiting B Bakery for high tea. The atmosphere, sandwich selection, pastries, scones and tea was a great combination. It was a delightful afternoon!

art, water and chill

Those three words encompassed my weekend in Los Angeles. From Bottega Louie to The Broad, I enjoyed the food, chill vibes and art the City of Angels had to offer. Must visit places also include the restaurant Barton G and a short trip to Malibu.
