My Photo
Name:
Location: San Francisco, Northern Cali

GYPSY: (noun) One inclined to a nomadic, unconventional way of life. The first time I traveled alone I was 4. My mom pinned a note to my dress then put me on a plane from Atlanta to L.A. to visit my dad for the summer. That must have marked the beginning of my insatiable wanderlust because I can't seem to get enough of running away from home. In the mean time, I've spent my life between a career in the media and years in the hospitality industry. My independence has kept me single but that's a part of life when your first love is travel. I've been robbed in Australia and slept on a park bench in Amsterdam, but at the end of the day, I was on the road and that's where I'm most at home.

Lifestyles of...


...the rich and spoiled! Here I am in the beautiful French Riviera, just a gog over the wealth of St. Tropez, Monaco, Monte Carlo...et al. Nice is lovely, a bigger city than I ever imagined and somehow I thought the beach was right here...full of sand and topless beauties. Just have to take a train to find that! I keep thinking of Deb and the fact that she lived here, what a smart girl. She is always 10 steps ahead of me but live and learn!

Been on the computer for an hour and a half, the internet is cheap here so I am taking advantage but I am getting weary as I have booked as far ahead as October for Rome and am going to Greece for 10 days starting the 18th of September. In between, I will cry in my Guinness for my 40th in Ireland, and after will spend 2 nights in St. Johan in Tirol, Austria, then onto Venice for 5 nights, Ancona for 3 then take the ferry to Athens, or fly or something. I also need to find a way from Dublin to Munchen...I thought it was as easy as booking Ryanair or Easy Jet but neither fly direct. Will try again.

Paris was absolutely fantastic, will blog the details but suffice to say I was abducted by a band of crazy Bosnians and ended up at a wedding and think I might have married a ninety year old grandma, the Vodka was flowing and just like the Ukrainians, they don't take no for an answer!

Must run now, am getting tired of sitting here while the sun is shining and there are rays to catch and promenades to traverse! LATERS!
