This Little Italy hotspot attracts a hip young crowd and serves gourmet ramen (think pork belly not “oriental” flavored top ramen). The atmosphere is casual but hip. White subway tiles line the entire back wall and diners order at the large square bar. I love the light filled space and […]

My favorite recent hotel find is the Capri in Ojai. It’s affordable and chic, plus there’s an endless supply of complimentary Ojai pixie tangerines when in season and you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation. What more could one want? Click the link in my profile for more tips on where to stay and eat in Ojai. 🍊 🌴 •

The best hotels are in sync with their surroundings and the Baja California Sur stays I featured in my latest for @marinlivingmag, from a cultural retreat with low environmental impact architecture to a treehouse style stay with programs to help abandoned animals, exemplify this. Tourism can be kind to people, animals and the planet. More at the link in my profile. 📷 courtesy @paraderohotels. #earthday2022 #travelbetter

Looking at this nautical cover, taken from Hyde Street Pier in S.F. looking toward Marin, makes me happy which is the whole point of our April "Feel Good" issue with stories on musician Huey Lewis and his involvement with the San Rafael non-profit @lifehouseagency, sustainable stays in and around Los Cabos, a new exhibit at @oaklandmuseumca about @heathceramics founder and Marin native Edith Heath and a feature about all the ways to get out on the water in Marin. Link in profile for the issue! •

The @acehotelpalmsprings is still a desert💎 and one of the few more boutique-style stays in Palm Springs that allow kids. •

No staycation quite like @suttlelodge, and they have lots of fun things coming up this spring like an artist in residency program and a Thursday night Fireside Music Series. Check it out. Super family and pet friendly as well! •

I had hoped to spend time in France this month. That wasn’t to be, so I’m going to relive our July 2021 trip this week by posting photos I didn’t get around to sharing then. First up is one of our favorite trip memories, a golden hour apéro on the beach near Deauville with friends. Normandy can be moody and wet like the Oregon coast, but this July evening was 🪄 with saucisson sec, sun-dried tomatoes with black truffle, rosé and champagne. The boys got their first lesson in beach apéro etiquette. No sand on the blanket!•

Many wellness resorts claim to offer dramatic results through life altering, immersive experiences and treatments, but how many of them deliver? My latest travel feature for @marinlivingmag is about five retreats, and one soon to open, offering everything at their disposal, from stunning natural settings to cutting-edge medical advances, to give guests the most profound gift, the opportunity to emerge a better, healthier and more balanced version of themselves. Link in profile for the piece. Photo courtesy @calaviespa. •

Happy New Year everyone! Start 2022 off right by flipping through our Vitality issue which has plenty to inspire some serious self-care like a story about cannabis tourism in Sonoma, a piece about the beauty benefits of the ancient Chinese practice gua shua and a round-up of the most glorious luxury spas in Napa Valley. Also flip through for stories about important white shark research happening right off the coast of Marin and the return of the boy turned adult wizard himself at San Francisco's Curran theater. Link in profile for the digital edition 💫. •
