For the final post of my Italy feature week, I wanted to share a destination that truly feels like coming home: Tuscany in the fall. It's a quieter, cozier side of Italy that I absolutely love, and I know you will too.

Curious about what a trip like this could look like? I've got you covered. Check out my blog post for my full guide and let's start planning your Italian escape together!

Tuscany ’ s summe r tourism crush gives way to uncrowded olive oil pressing across the region in fall, making this the ideal time to visit one of Italy ’ s mos t popular regions. The pasta- and pizza-making classes, winetastings, and bike rides through cypress-tree-lined back roads remain in ful

And the Italian journey continues...When your bike tour includes seaside espresso stops ☕️ and clifftop vistas that take your breath away, you know it’s no ordinary ride. 🚴‍♀️ This is the magic of the Amalfi Coast, a symphony of sparkling sea, pastel villages, and sun-drenched moments. Experience la dolce vita. ✨

Don't just dream of Italy—experience it. DM me to start planning.

They say 'not all those who wander are lost,' but I'm definitely okay with getting 'lost' in some incredible travel experiences! 😉🙋‍♀️

Swipe to see what getting lost can look like... An unforgettable biking tour through Bordeaux earlier this month. ✨ I've done the research, I won't steer you wrong! 😊

So incredibly proud of my amazing brother, Lieutenant Commander Jeff A. Muenchrath, on his well-deserved retirement from the United States Navy! This marks the end of an extraordinary journey that began in June 1999 when he enlisted after high school.

Jeff's career has been nothing short of remarkable. From his early days at Aircrew and Rescue Swimmer School to earning his Aircrew Wings in 2000, he’s always excelled. He served with distinction in various squadrons like HSC-3, HSC-5, HSC Weapons School, and HSC-21, completing five deployments and supporting countless operations including MEDEVAC.

After commissioning, he continued to shine, flying P-3C aircraft with Patrol Squadron 30, completing three more deployments, and becoming a Tactical Coordinator, Mission Commander, and Officer-in-Charge. Beyond his operational roles, he also served in vital shore duties at Naval War College, Commander Sixth Fleet, CNATTU, MTOC Five, and as Deputy Air Ops Officer and Aviation Safety Officer at NAS Jacksonville.

With over 4,000 flight hours in multiple aircraft and numerous accolades including three Strike Flight Air Medals, Jeff truly dedicated his life to serving our country. What an incredible legacy of bravery, leadership, and unwavering commitment. We love you, Jeff! Enjoy this new chapter!

Wilderness takes travelers to one of the most exclusive concessions in the region. An elephant sauntered over to the water hole, aware of my presence but unable to see me. As he stood barely three feet away collecting water, I could make out the hairs on his trunk, his thick eyelashes, and

To Spain, with love... ❤️💛Earlier this month, I spent four incredible days in Spain, mostly exploring the vibrant streets of Madrid. It was a triple win! I LOVE the spirited energy of the Spanish people, the incredible flavors of Spanish food, and of course, the delish Spanish wine. Win, win, win!

Image 1 (top): Dining at Akelarre - Talk about a culinary dream come true! My dining experience at Akelarre was nothing short of WOW! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tucked into the hillside on Mount Igeldo in San Sebastián, this legendary spot, with its 3 Michelin Stars since 2007, is pure magic! Image 1 (bottom): Earlier in the week, I dove headfirst into the electric atmosphere of a Real Madrid vs. Juventus match (round of 16 in the FIFA Club World Cup!). Real Madrid won 1-0, and nothing compares to the passion of soccer fans, especially Spanish ones in a bar – SO much fun!

Images 2 & 3: Madrid Tapas Tour - Exploring the Huertas Neighborhood on a Madrid Tapas Tour was a highlight! This lively area, rich with literary history, charming cobblestone streets, and literary quotes underfoot, stole my heart. I indulged in all the delicious food, and the tour sprinkled in fascinating historical tidbits about the neighborhood, making it a truly immersive experience. Highly recommend! Sidenote: I skipped the famous Spanish nightlife of the neighborhood. It doesn't start poppin' until well past my bedtime!

Image 4: My Spanish Workspace - This was my "office" for the week – water, Pepsi (when in Spain😅), and my laptop in the stunning lobby of The Palace Hotel. Not too shabby! 😉

Are you planning a trip to Spain soon? I'd absolutely love to help you put together an amazing itinerary! Let's chat!
