like peonies in May or Vogue's September issue, you will find what is needed... in season
’Tis the season for festive drinks and local Christmas markets. While nothing quite compares to sipping mulled wine in Italy (or most of Europe, really), I always look forward to the artisan markets that appear in and around Kelowna each year. From decorated indoor fairs to twinkling outdoor pop-ups, these seasonal events offer local gifts, […]
Whether I am staying in Paris for a week or need a room as part of a road trip, my hotel preferences and criteria remain constant when booking the best option for my stay.
