‘Rachel, will you be going home for Thanksgiving?’ almost everyone in my midtown Manhattan office inquired last week. ‘Yes’, was immediately my answer. I mean, technically I was not going home for Thanksgiving. Not the home with my parents, a perfectly cooked turkey, and an abundance of holiday cocktails. But I was going to London. And isn’t that the same thing? Continue Reading
Over a cozy phone call to my mother the other night, she mentioned how much she missed the blog. Which got me thinking about how much I, too, miss the blog. I could include a million disclaimers about my lack of presence on this space {gag me, we have heard it all before}, but instead I would rather just write.

Venice is one of the most photogenic cities in the world. With narrow canals, charming locals, and colorful buildings, it truly is a photographer dream.
So far on the blog, I’ve explained what to know before visiting Venice and given my two cents as far as riding a gondala during said visit. However, personally I find my inspiration to visit a destination through images. So instead of drafting a guide in an attempt to convince you to drop everything and purchase a ticket to Venice, I’ve ordered Indian take-out and sifted through my travel photos to provide you with a photo diary.
