Skiing in Sarajevo: Outdoor Adventure at Jahorina Olympic Center

Feb 06. 2017

When traveling during the winter, I typically opt for more tropical destinations. I want to escape the cold, not run towards it full steam ahead. However, this winter I dared to be different. I wanted the full on winter experience or so I thought. Snow. Outdoor Adventure. The works! You see, I'm from the South (U.S.A) where the mere mention of snow sends the city into complete disarray. 2 inches of snow and the entire city shuts down. So, when planning my trip through the Balkans I knew I had to go all out and check...

What’s in My Bag? The 5th Co. Essential

Jan 30. 2017

I have been known to be a notorious overpacker, and when it has come to my everyday bag it's been no different. My parents used to teasingly ask, "What do you have in that suitcase?" (referring to my purse/bag), and to that I would respond, "My life, duh." I like being prepared. I mean, you just never know when you might need those pair of socks in your purse to double as gloves because it's the dead of winter and you forgot your real gloves at home. You were running late, didn't have time to let...

Deciding to do a bit of traveling during the holidays, instead of returning home to the States, I figured I would treat myself. This Christmas was going to be one for the books and, with the help of Esplanade Zagreb Hotel, it certainly was.

5 European Cities for Winter Travel

Jan 17. 2017

If you're anything like me in the winter you either: A) Turn into a complete hermit, and stay nice and bundled up inside your warm and cozy home, until Spring decides to rear its beautiful head again. And/Or B) Escape to somewhere warm and tropical, where your OOTD (outfit of the day) is nothing more than a swimsuit, there are beaches abound, and your cup runneth over with fruity cocktails, preferably served in a coconut or cute glass with an umbrella straw (can you tell I'm missing summer?). What you typically don't do is decide to hop, skip, and...

The Accessory That Every Traveler Needs: The 5th Watch

Dec 05. 2016

Every traveler needs a good watch. Personally, my life revolves around constantly being in one place or another. I´m always on the go, and there´s always planes, trains, and other things to catch. Plus, since moving abroad I have definitely had to adjust my punctuality habits more like the lack thereof. So when I got the opportunity to collaborate with The 5th watch company I was ecstatic. No more digging through my purse aka the abyss of random stuff looking for my phone to check the time. No more distractions when I pick up my phone, but end up on...
