Peruvian Paradise – Eat, Ride, Love

Peruvian Paradise – Eat, Ride, Love

Peruvian Paso horses were on my radar when we went to Peru last year. I’d read about their oh-so-smooth gait and wanted to experience this ride for myself. Nina Fogelman of Ancient Summit planned our Peru itinerary and assured me she could make it happen. If you’ve read about our trip, you know that Nina […]

Yoga for Travelers and a Yummy Retreat

Yoga for Travelers and a Yummy Retreat

Yoga, as taught by Anne Marie Welsh at the Community Center in my hometown, changed my life. It’s not just the way she demonstrates the asanas that make her special, it’s her affirmations and soothing words that set her apart from other instructors.  In addition to being a yoga teacher, Anne Marie is also a traveler, […]

Tuscan Cooking School

Tuscan Cooking School

It was a stroke of good luck that I met Marlane Miriello and heard about her Tuscan cooking school. The Italian-American was visiting with friends in San Diego who thought I might find her story interesting. Of course, I was – not just interested, but really interested. Marlane and I are both of Italian descent, and […]

Take the pain out of travel

Take the pain out of travel

Take the pain out of travel by doing yoga stretches and breathwork. Traveling is great, but sitting while driving and flying can be a real pain. Literally! If you’re a frequent business traveler, this can have a negative impact on your ability to do your job. If you have a long commute, sitting can do […]
