Remarkable Medellín
Visiting Medellín in Colombia: The Country of Beauty is like stepping into a fantastic story — literally, as the city in the Western Colombian Andes region inspired Disney’s Encanto. Here, valleys, the world’s tallest palms, vibrant communities, colorful houses, garden-like balconies and more prove reality is more picturesque than anything on film.

Touring Doneraile Estate in Cork, Ireland
This summer I finally had the chance to take part in a guided tour of the first two floors of Doneraile Estate, a grand house dating back to the early 18th century in north Cork, Ireland.

Gaelic Getaway

While I’ve been to both Ireland and Scotland several times, this trip offered a new experience, as I was in town to attend a black-tie wedding at The K Club, in County Kildare, Ireland. The property offers luxury rooms and event spaces as well as an impeccably groomed golf course.
