So, get ready to immerse yourself in a world of opulence and indulgence.

A Stint Abroad
Hi! I’m a travel blogger based in Southern California. Thanks for stopping by. Several years ago, I lived in Milan, Italy for a year and started this blog. The blog chronicled my experiences traveling whenever I could while living in Europe. Since then, I’ve returned to the U.S., but my wandering feet have not ceased.
