Camping is not really my thing – like, at all! But sometimes I crave being in nature. Those moments disconnecting from city life and getting totally immersed in wilderness recharges my soul. And so, my recent trip to Joshua Tree National Park, was a much welcomed nature fix. In southeastern California, Joshua Tree is a sprawling and stunning desert landscapes with a vast number of nature trails, camp grounds, rock climbing sites, as well as biking and bouldering opportunities. Above is a Quick Escape video to get a feel for what its like trekking around the Joshua Tree wilds.

Exploring the Sea Caves and Land Caves of Gargano Italy #Video

Gargano, Italy (an area on the East Coast, at the ankle of the boot of Italy) is a land of historic and beautiful caves. They have formed both on dry land and along the shores. Over the millennia civilizations of this region have found practical uses for these caves that range from holy to commercial. Here are a few examples that rocked my world and that are well worth a visit. The first is featured in my latest Quick Escape video and the rest are pictured below. 1.

An Introduction to Gargano, #Italy

I just came home from Gargano, Italy, a unique corner of one of my favorite countries. And I have to say, the region impressed me well beyond my expectations. If you look at a map, it is easy to spot Gargano because it makes up the little knob of land that juts out at the spur of the boot of Italy. It is a popular domestic vacation destination for Italians. And this makes the region feel rather authentic, as opposed to other destinations in the country popular with tourists from around the world. And you know me, I am all about getting an authentic, local experience! Gargano has stunning beaches, charming medieval towns, an enchanting forest, grottos, islands to explore,…

Flamenco Dancing in Southern Spain #VIDEO

This experience in Sevilla with flamenco was so special. Let me explain how it came about. In 2009 during journalism school I made a short documentary about flamenco in New York City. It was simply a class assignment that peaked my interest. Flamenco had revealed itself as a soulful and passionate art that called to me. There is an undeniable resonance I feel with the cries, rhythms and intensity of the music and dance. And I love that Flamenco is an improvisation. Each artist listening to the other, creating, expressing and communicating together. It serves as therapy not just for the artists but for spectators as well. Earlier this year, Expedia offered me the opportunity to participate in their Find…
