My last post was about the wonderful selection of moleskine notebook art out on the internet today. Through that link, I discovered a beautiful, travel-related moleskine notebook page which lead me to the creator’s website and to this wonderful post on the materials she needs to sketch portably.

Part of the joy of staying at hotels is being able to open your windows to views you can’t get at home. Readers at Hotel Chatter constantly submit pictures of window views at hotels around the world. Good and bad. Sometimes it can be really good:

That’s the Intercontinental Bora Bora. And I’m not going to [...]

If your travels ever take you to Clearwater, Florida (which I would highly recommend they do because the Gulf Coast Beaches in Florida are beautiful!) please take the time to stop at the Wildflower Cafe. Their website title says “Exceptional Food” and I wholeheartedly agree. I went to an event once and someone brought a [...]
