Friday Flashback: Celebrating Carnaval in Colombia

27 August 2010

In early 2009, I knew I wanted to live in Medellin, but before I could settle down, I had to head for the coast to experience Colombia’s largest Carnaval celebration.  Having never been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras or Brazil for Carnaval, I went on a mission to experience similar festivities in Shakira’s home [...]

Friday Flashback: Madrid

Spain’s capital of Madrid was my last stop on a whirlwind trip through western Europe. The Prado (museum) houses a large number of masterpieces, and I recognized quite a few from my days of studying art history in college.  It’s now one of my favorite museums, along with the Musee d’Orsay in Paris (impressionists) and [...]

Getaways by Robert Verdi

05 August 2010

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of joining fashion and travel writers and editors at a Robert Verdi Twitter Party. It was unlike anything I’ve ever been to: The apartment was chic and decorated with beach as well as exotic accents. There were platters of sliced vegetables, breads, meats, and cheeses.
