No. 7 – France: O Nuit d’Amour
Blog: See Simi Travel Blog - 5 December 2011
All the great and romantic things you have heard about Paris are true; and how fortunate of me to be in such a city while still young and pretty. :) It's a shame, however, that even back then I wasn't charming. Sweet Paris (pronounced pa-ree in French), thankfully, is charming enough for the both of us.

Blog: London Cosmopolitan - 18 August 2011
Last weekend Keenan and I attended our second summer wedding of the year, this time in a small village in the Bordeaux wine region. We met this wonderful couple through the groom’s brother Rod after they relocated from Sao Paulo to her native London.

Blog: Vagobond.com - 9 June 2011
Before I started traveling, Bordeaux simply meant wine that I probably couldn't afford.

Wicked Festivals of France: Guest Post by AnyTrip.com
Blog: Video Diary of an American in France - 1 December 2010
One thing everyone expects in France is good food. There is a reason this country is one of the top holders of Michelin stars but that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to head straight for the high-end restaurants.

Lady in Bordeaux
Blog: A Lady in London - 28 September 2010
I never thought Bordeaux would be such a big city. Every time I pictured it in my mind, I imagined rolling hills with green grape vines and crumbling chateaux. I did not picture a bustling city with chain shops and busy streets. My mental picture wasn’t entirely off, though. It was just misplaced. The area [...]

Lady Runs the Medoc Marathon
Blog: A Lady in London - 13 September 2010
I didn’t mean to run a marathon. It kinda happened by accident. Like most things in my life, I was there for the food. And the wine. And the beautiful scenery. I guess I just got caught up in the moment and decided that running a marathon without training for it would be a good [...]

Friday Flashback: Bordeaux, France
Blog: GoBackpacking - 23 July 2010
While I did fly into the Bordeaux airport, and eat a few meals in the city, most of my time was spent farther south in the region around Arcachon Bay. I was staying with Sebastien and Magali, a French couple I met on the way to a small eco-hostel called Bulungula. The moment they suggested [...]--------- Join Travel Blog Success today and learn to build a better travel blog. Membership includes 12 lessons, community forum, audio interviews, and a blog.

Tour de France is Coming to Chambery in 2010
Blog: Video Diary of an American in France - 13 July 2010
Tomorrow the Tour de France comes to Chambery! I don’t know if it has come through town before, but I know it hasn’t since I’ve lived here in the past 2.5 years.

The Wine Poet of Paris: Susan Barbour
Blog: ParisienSalon.com - 3 February 2010
Susan Barbour always tells people that, unlike with most sommeliers, there was no “bottle that did it for me.” Instead it was a grape—a moldy, rotten, wrinkled grape from the Sauternes region—as well as the peculiar way the angled light hit the vine-rows and the charming idiosyncrasies of the winemaker who led that tour. All of these components intersected in the glass, and suddenly she saw that wine was poetry.

Yeah, get in!!! I mean no, get out!!!
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 21 November 2009
The journey to Bordeaux went splendidly, €35 wasn’t too bad either. Then I hooked up with Nimrod at the hotel (a very decent 2 star gaff) as planned and we made it to the Connemara Irish pub about 20 minutes into the City match. The first half was all pretty standard stuff and then begun [...]
