California is a magical place, let’s start there. It’s full of character, sunshine, diversity and above all, FOOD. So naturally, I was in complete paradise on my recent visit to Los Angeles to catch up with a couple of my friends. Like a kid on Christmas Eve, I couldn’t sleep the night before. I was […]

Dubrovnik Old Town and the Adriatic Sea – Borrowing Britain
Sight: cypress trees, red shingles, vibrant sea spotted with islands Sound: boat horns, open air cinemas, street vendors singing in local Croatian tongue Smell: salty sea, lavender, sweat (from this weekend anyways) Taste: fresh natural water, gelato, Dalmatian ham Touch: soft stray kittens, limestone, knitted cotton If there’s one sentence I could use to describe […]
Lovely Little Weekend in Amsterdam – Borrowing Britain
My first impression of Amsterdam? Geez I know they said there’s a lot of bikes but holy cow that’s a lot of bikes! All kinds. I could do a blog post entirely on this mode of transportation. The baskets filled with fresh flowers. The speedier ones packed with a briefcase. The ones trailing with dogs […]
A Lazy Weekend in Oxford University + Savill Gardens – Borrowing Britain
Hello friends! Another proper English weekend here, with day trips to Oxford, Savill Gardens and Richmond! It’s always nice to step away from busy city life into these more tranquil settings. Oxford was my Saturday stop, and it’s conveniently accessible by train. While you can rent a car or bike upon arrival, it’s very easy […]
Digital Travel Print: Positano – Borrowing Britain
Home / Prints / Digital Travel Print: Positano Summer in the Amalfi Coast – this vibrant print highlights the famous mountain of stacked pastel homes in colorful Positano. I’d recommend displaying this print in a natural wood, gold or white frame (a floating frame would be eye-catching as well!) from Artifact Uprising. Their print quality is top of the […]
A Royal Outing to the Palace of Versailles – Borrowing Britain
Versailles is truly a world of its own. It’s impossible to imagine living in such eloquence, but let’s just say if I did I’d be a happy clam. I thought I would “beat the crowd” by arriving right before it opened for the day with my pre-bought ticket in hand. Silly tourist me. The wait […]
Lazy Week Wandering Through Munich – Borrowing Britain
I arrived in Munich with one word on my mind – DETOX. I’ll tell ya, two straight weeks of nothing but pasta and schnitzel will have you feeling eternally full. Eternally exhausted too, but mostly full. I spent my first day exploring the German grocery store (literally all I did besides work, Pinterest and sleep) […]
Winter in Iceland: Part 1 – Borrowing Britain
Rock on. That’s one thing I kept repeating glacier by glacier on my journey around Ring Road. To be fair, I stuck mostly to the Golden Circle bit during my winter in Iceland, exploring Reykjavik, Vik and all the astounding waterfalls in between. Before this trip, I didn’t once consider Iceland to be a must-visit […]
Top 50 Songs In My Travel Playlist – Borrowing Britain
If you’re anything like me, you need a good bit of music – the right music – to make it through a long journey. I’ve never been a strong flyer, so choosing a playlist that can whisk me away to a different state of mind is key. My songs are a mix of calming + […]
Recipe Post: Travel Inspired Cookies – Borrowing Britain
Who says you can’t incorporate a passion for travel into your daily life? Some of my favorite things to when I have some free time is recreate signature dishes from my favorite countries, listen to the background music of different regions, and decorate cookies in honor of adventure. Today I’m sharing the latter with you […]
