The Ultimate Zumbrota Travel Guide (2019 Edition)

Posted on May 20, 2019June 21, 2019by Andi

Travel blogger posts are becoming a vital tool for trip planning, getting insider’s tips that you just can’t get from a Lonely Planet or Fodor’s guidebook. And since it’s doubtful that a Lonely Planet writer has ever had the pleasure of exploring Zumbrota, Minnesota, “The Ultimate Zumbrota Travel Guide” is necessary for tourists visiting this […]

Nice Nightlife – Live Music in Old Town Nice

Posted on April 29, 2019June 21, 2019by Andi

Last year, I made an impromptu trip to Nice to visit a friend and escape the cold, dreary English winter. I had very low expectations and simply wanted to bask in the sunshine and sip a glass of delicious French wine. One day, we did a day trip to a nearby village, St. Paul de […]

Day Trips from Lausanne – Highlights of Lake Geneva

Posted on January 27, 2019May 28, 2019by Andi

I spent two weeks in Lausanne over Christmas house sitting for a cranky old cat named Kira. When I booked the house sit (Trusted Housesitters), I had fantasies of a perfect Swiss Christmas holiday. In my imagination, I walk through the quaint Christmas markets in the snow, drink delicious hot chocolate, and meet a handsome […]

The Best and Worst Travel Moments of 2018

Posted on January 9, 2019January 26, 2019by Andi

While 2017 was my year of change (moving from Asia to Europe), it seems 2018 was the year to indulge in my travel addiction. I learned how to explore Europe cheaply, fell totally in love with Paris, and almost got peed on in Budapest. It was a year filled with incredible European exploration. So now, […]

What’s there to do on a Vienna to Bratislava Day Trip?

Posted on December 16, 2018May 28, 2019by Andi

Vienna, Austria is often named as one of the world’s most beautiful cities and it is quite a stunning place. But after spending a few days admiring the whitewashed perfection in this beautiful but somewhat sterile city, I was ready for a change. So, I hopped on a bus and ventured over to neighboring Slovakia […]

Three Days in Budapest – Finding the Best of Buda & Pest

Posted on December 2, 2018December 12, 2018by Andi

Thirty-something years ago I took my first trip to Europe and began my adventure in Vienna. As I wandered the city streets and soaked up the European vibe, I kept noticing signs “Budapest – that way” or “Budapest – turn here”. I actually don’t remember exactly what the signs said, but I just knew that […]

24 Perfect Gifts for Minimalists and Travelers

Posted on November 21, 2018January 29, 2019by Andi

A few years ago, I left my two-bedroom condo in Tampa, Florida and became temporarily nomadic as I started over in Asia. In order to downsize my life, I donated, sold, or gifted much of my stuff. I went through suitcases full of clothes in my friend Lisa’s dining room with four of my girlfriends […]

About Me

Andi

Hi! I'm Andi, a 50-something American expat living in Nice, France, and loving life on the Cote d'Azur! A coffee-loving, people-watching, travel addict, I was born with an intense curiosity about the world. My aviation career helped feed that travel addiction, allowing me to visit 50-something countries. In 2013, I left the US to begin again in Asia. To fund my new life, I taught English because, honestly, that's my only real skill. And life in Taiwan was just fine - but life in Nice is truly amazing! So now I go for long walks along the Mediterranean Sea, travel, and write. And drink lots coffee. Read More…
