OAXACA

OAXACA

Oaxaca, MEXICO -- magical land of mezcal, known for its smokey spirit and rich indigenous culture. It's been on my list since studying the ruins of Monte Alban in my architecture class in college. Thanks to a direct flight from Houston, we finally pulled the trigger to visit Oaxaca City.

SARDINIA

SARDINIA

Sardinia, ITALY -- When watching too much of the TV series "Below Deck" leads to a seven day sail around Italy's second largest island and first identified Blue Zone region.

PAROS

PAROS

Paros, Greece - this island provides a more traditional Greek atmosphere with tiny villages, rugged beaches, and hiking trails --without the crowds or price tag of Santorini or Mykonos. A place 100% worthy of returning.

MILOS

MILOS

Milos, Greece - off the beaten path Greek island and only a 25 minute flight from Athens. Lured in by Sarakiniko, we came to explore the moonscape beach.

Prague

Prague

Prague, CZECHIA -- a central European gem, known for cheap unfiltered beer, and rich history. After reclaiming their identity from decades of Communist oppression, we headed back to Prague to experience a more local feel.

Courchevel

Courchevel

Courchevel, FRANCE -- ski capital of the world in the French Alps. Although its dubbed as a playground for the rich, you don't need to be a millionaire to be able to enjoy the largest linked ski areas in the world. Get ready to ski, eat, après --repeat!

GRANADA

GRANADA

Granada, SPAIN -- the last city to be reconquered by the Catholic Kings in 1492. Only ~2.5 hours by train from Sevilla, you'll be transported back to the last Muslim ruled state where you'll feel more like you're visiting Morocco than Spain.
