My husband and I recently joined another couple on last-minute cruise to South America. I had only visited the continent once before on a trip to Patagonia, so I was excited to explore more countries. We would be sailing on the Regent Seven Seas Voyager, a luxurious cruise ship that redefines elegance and comfort. Once known as “The Most Luxurious Ship Ever Built,” the Splendor offers spacious suites, world-class dining, and exceptional amenities. This incredible …

For food lovers, few experiences rival the combination of exploring Europe’s picturesque rivers while indulging in gourmet cuisine aboard luxurious cruise ships. And I love that these companies are really elevating their dining experiences for foodie travelers. When we sailed on Riverside Luxury Cruises, we dined in the ship’s private vintage room and enjoyed a multi-course gourmet meal. On my barge cruise through Burgundy, we were treated to Michelin-quality meals every single day. European river …

It should be no secret to you by now that I seek out the most enticing and unique dining experiences when I travel. From fun cooking classes to decadent food tours to high-end wine tastings, these are the things that make my trips so memorable. For foodies, these experiences aren’t just about the meal; it’s about the atmosphere, the story, and the experience – and the people you meet along the way. Around the globe, …

As a foodie, travel is more than just about exploring new places—it’s about savoring the unique flavors that each destination has to offer. For me, it’s the experience of tasting the history, culture, and passion in every bite that makes traveling so enriching. With 2025 just around the corner, I’ve been dreaming about where my next culinary adventure will take me, and I’ve put together a list of the top 10 culinary destinations that I …

Here’s a question I get asked a lot! We all love cruising whether it’s a river cruise or a booze cruise. Gone are the days of those endless, all-day, all-night buffets of food orgies (we have the pandemic and unsanitary conditions to thank for that). Cruise lines are getting more conscious of the desire for travelers to stay healthy while cruising. Cruising offers an irresistible combination of adventure, relaxation, and indulgence. For foodies, the array …

It should be no secret by now that I LOVE Umbria. I love Italy but the calm, unspoiled countryside of Umbria is where I choose to return to year after year. We often rent an Airbnb and just spend the days traveling around the hilltowns, collecting great wine, meats, and cheeses made by locals. Wine tasting is also part of the allure of this region so I’m always on the lookout for really cool, and …

True confession here: As much as I traveled and as many places as I’ve been, Barcelona was one of those elusive cities for me. And if you follow my blog, you know that one of my favorite activities when I travel is visiting local food markets like I did in Paris. Nestled in the heart of Barcelona along the bustling La Rambla, La Boqueria Market is a feast for the senses and a must-visit destination …

I recently took a Regents Seven Seas cruise that ended in Buenos Aires (my first visit to this amazing city) and we spent a couple of extra days exploring the town. And you know me, I just had to book a food tour to learn more about the local culinary scene. I did my research and on best Buenos Aires food tours and we chose the Historical Guided Food Tour of San Telmo and it …

I get asked this a lot. “Where’s your favorite place?” “What’s the best place you’ve been?” I thought I’d tell you about the places I’ve been that left a lasting impression. That’s actually a bit misleading. I LOVE everywhere I go. Because I love to travel and I find something interesting or memorable in every destination. But the trip that stands out the most to me was when I was my trip to Jordan. Where …

All-inclusive resorts are generally known more for their bottomless cocktails than for their dining options. I’ve never been a big fan of all-inclusives because I am a foodie and I’ve just never found the restaurants and dining options to my standards. But this is changing! On an impulsive pandemic getaway to the Caribbean, I discovered one all-inclusive resort with amazing food! A few months later, an all-inclusive resort in Mexico surprised me with high-end restaurants. …
