We arrived in Munich on opening weekend of Oktoberfest, and WOW. From the massive beer tents and traditional Bavarian outfits to the music, food and people we met along the way, it was unlike anything we’d experienced before. I’m sharing what our first Oktoberfest was really like, what we learned, what I’d do differently and how we spent three days in Munich.

Budapest may have been the biggest surprise of our trip. We ate our way through the city on an incredible Hungarian food tour, soaked in the famous thermal baths, stayed out late at a ruin bar, found our favorite restaurant of the entire trip and saw Budapest lit up from the Danube at night. Here’s what we loved, what I’d skip next time and what I’d recommend for your first trip to Budapest.

Vienna surprised me in the best way. We spent three days exploring the city on foot and by e-bike, trying traditional Austrian food, drinking Wiener Melanges, visiting rooftop bars and experiencing Vienna’s wine country. Here’s what we did, where we ate and what I’d recommend for a first trip to Vienna.

The final leg of our California adventure took us from Napa to Ventura County (Oxnard), with lunch in San Luis Obispo, our first In-N-Out experience, a gorgeous drive along Highway 101, golf, great food and time with family. Here's where we stayed, ate and explored along the way.

Eleven years after our first Napa Valley trip, we went back! This time we stayed at Harvest Inn in St. Helena, booked three private winery tastings and mixed in some incredible restaurants, casual local spots and plenty of downtime. I’m sharing our full itinerary, what I’d recommend and what has changed in Napa since our first visit.

Twelve hours in the St. Louis airport. A hotel sleep that lasted three hours. Luggage that took its own detour through Europe. And somehow — Croatia and Montenegro still delivered. Here's my honest, unfiltered travel diary of Split, Hvar, Dubrovnik, and Porto Montenegro, including where to eat, where to stay, and what I'd do differently next time.

We spent a fall weekend in New Haven, CT, exploring Yale, eating at Pepe’s, celebrating family, and discovering the charm of Mystic and Essex.

Cape Town is a city that truly has it all — dramatic hikes, breathtaking ocean views, world-class dining, and some of the best wine country in the world. From climbing Lion’s Head and riding the gondola up Table Mountain, to sipping wine in Stellenbosch and dining at La Colombe, our trip was filled with unforgettable moments. Staying at the historic Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel gave us the perfect base to explore it all — and left us dreaming of our next visit.
