Best Places to see Fall Foliage in New England
Autumn is my favorite season of the year. Leaves changing colors, fall foliage, transition to winter.. It speaks to me in more than one way. Not only is it breathtakingly beautiful, it appeals to me philosophically as well. While leaf peeping is an amazing experience, chasing the fall colors is a different game altogether. It’s a hit or miss regardless of how hard you try to catch them during the peak season. In general, the peak season arrives in the north first and slowly trickles down south. Luckily, there are multiple websites (listed below) that can help us track the best time to see fall colors in multiple states of…

The Ultimate Cape Cod Itinerary
Cape Cod has always been a dream destination for me thanks to the books I read during my teenage years which were based out of this region. While I grew up 7000 miles away dreaming of its numerous beaches, lighthouses, islands and villages, little did I know that I would be able to visit Cape Cod numerous times later in my life. What made it even more fascinating was that many authors made Cape Cod home, deriving inspiration for their books and stories. While you could break this itinerary down for multiple visits the way I did, doing it all together at once is a great opportunity for those coming…

3 Days in Positano & Capri
Amalfi Coast is a UNESCO world heritage site located in the Campania region of Southern Italy. With 30 miles of coastline, cliffside villages and mediterranean waters, Amalfi coast has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. So when we had an opportunity to visit Europe back in 2019, Amalfi Coast had to be on our itinerary. We were spoilt for choice while planning the only 3 days we had for this leg of our journey. Each of the 13 seaside towns in the region was unique in their own way, tempting us to stay longer. However, since we could not extend our stay beyond 3…

New Hampshire for All Seasons
New Hampshire is a Northeastern state in US and is considered a part of the New England region. Surrounded by natural beauty and wilderness, NH is known for the White Mountain National Forest and numerous state parks. It’s a preferred location for winter sports, wildlife sightings, camping, scenic byways and other recreational outdoor activities during all four seasons. I love their state motto ‘Live Free or Die’ and feel a strong affinity to this philosophy. Added bonus: New Hampshire is one of the only five states in the country that doesn’t impose a sales tax on shopping. While you may find a ton of things to do in this gorgeous…

Top 10 things to do in Montréal
Montreal, the largest city in Quebec province of Canada is located only 325 miles away from Boston. I have been fortunate to visit the city on multiple occasions and have friends living locally show me around. It usually takes around 7 hours from Boston considering the breaks and border passage time. Surprisingly, the city was as much fun during November as it was during the summer months. One thing that impressed me the most was how Montreal has managed to retain it’s ancient charm despite all the modernization. Always brimming with energy and spirit, here is a list of top 10 things to do in Montreal! 1. Basilique Notre-Dame de…

The Ultimate Itinerary – Short Trip to Paris
Known as the City of Light, Paris is one city which has been widely written about. We have all romanticized Paris at some or other level partly due to the way it is portrayed in movies and books. However, when I visited Paris, it was nothing like I had imagined. It was’t the charming city of love I envisioned but a big bad-ass city just like London, NYC, Bangkok or Singapore. It was overwhelming to the senses, a delight on it’s own. First things first. Buy the The Paris Transport travel card for unlimited travel on the bus, metro, tramway and RER networks. For the most part, we used the trains for…
