Yep, you read that right. In this blog, we’re not taking tea in a fancy dining room but rather down in a thousand-year-old crypt. Novel. Londoners love tea. And, apparently, Londoners love church, judging by the city’s staggering number of churches. There are 47 churches within London’s square mile. And a few of them offer…

This travel blog is embedded inside a real estate site centered around buying, renting, and remodeling Parisian apartments. But it also includes content for tours, events, shopping, food… Recently, I used it to navigate Paris’…

Oh yeah, and we’re not sipping tea. In my search for high…

And pack your stretchy pants; we’re going back to New Orleans. I think it’s time for an update. But first, a re-cap. Five months ago, I bought an apartment in my favorite city: New Orleans.
