I'm Anne! I spend part of my time traveling the world and the other part living in my soul city, San Francisco. I have a love for all things travel. I also have a love for nesting. I do NOT believe the two have to be mutually exclusive. If you seek that balance you've come to the right place.

Getting Married in San Francisco and Belvedere 9.3.21
As we embrace the start of 2022, I wanted to share the happiest day of 2021 (and many years to come, I’m sure!) here with you all.
On September 3, 2021, against the pandemic odds, I got married! I wondered whether to share this personal day in any public way, but I remember how many seeing other weddings online helped me understand what I wanted (and helped me make it through some of the most stressful months of planning.)
Our original, pre-pandemic plan was to host a destination wedding in Sicily, a place that both of us love, part of m ..read more

The Best of Kona, Hawaii + the Kohala Coast
Read on for the top experiences and my tips for the “Kona side” of the island
Although travel is such a big part of my life now, like many of us, I didn’t grow up traveling often. Hawaii was the one place I returned to repeatedly as a child. I was lucky enough to grow up spending my October break from school exploring the Big Island’s seas, parks, and beaches.
So I jumped at the recent chance to return with Fairmont Orchid, a resort perched toward the northern tip of the island on the stunning Kohala Coast. I had the chance both to exp ..read more

My Paris List, a flâneur’s guide to Paris
An itinerary for two days…or more!
My wish and hope for you is that you have more than a weekend in Paris. Alors, a few days in Paris is better than no time in Paris at all!
Most years, I spend most of October in France. And most of that time is spent in Paris.
(By the way, October is the best month to be in Paris – if you ask me.)
There is something magical about any time spent in the French capital, particularly if you’re a visitor to the city. Even if you have just a weekend in Paris, you can take a ‘flaneur’ or ‘flaneuse’ approach, w ..read more

Since when did we start traveling with a destination’s Instagram worthiness in mind?
I read last week that 40% of travelers under 30 are prioritizing a place’s “Instagrammability” when making trip decisions. This means that a growing amount of people are making decisions to see the world through the lens of what is photogenic or trendy.
The thought of this upsets me deeply — mostly because traveling the world has so, so much more to offer than a backdrop for your next social post. The majority of my favorite memories from the road have no photo which accompanies them. The best moments a ..read more

Where to Eat on a Budget in SF
This post is for the San Francisco restaurant seekers whose stomachs and wallets wish to be full (or at least, less empty.)
Whether you’re visiting on a backpacker budget or you’re simply trying to pay rent here, it is hardly breaking news that San Francisco is an expensive city. (I do believe that the cost has been a bit sensationalized, but hey, that is a discussion for another day.)
Whatever your reason for searching for cheap eats in San Francisco, budget meals are always a refreshing alternative to the restaurants we most often read about — they’re ..read more

A Whitefish Montana Guide
Whitefish, Montana draws many visitors to its popular ski resort, and for its proximity to the stunning Glacier National Park (rightfully so.) It is also a destination in its own right — a welcoming and wonderful small town with big landscapes right at its doorstep.
For years I’ve felt drawn to Montana. The town of Whitefish is surprisingly well-known given its size; I think that has something to do with its feel both as a chic resort village and hidden mountain escape. With its community feel, fresh mountain air, and gem of a culinary scene, Whitefish was a gre ..read more

Visit the charming small French towns of Provence and the Luberon
Ah, the South of France. Its many French villages and hill towns — not to mention stone castles, hillside olive groves, sidewalk cafes, and lavender fields — are the stuff travel dreams are made of.
Southern France’s cities are also lively and lovely; I particularly love the areas around Marseille and Nice. Yet it’s the small towns in France that really give you that Provencal glow — you know, the feeling of golden afternoon light and faint breeze that makes you want to skip through fields, or linger on a terrace amongst t ..read more
