A totally gorgeous off-the-grid escape in Brazil: Pousada Picinguaba
By Sara Bliss on April 29, 2014If your boss/mother-in-law/or ex can reach you, a vacation just isn’t really a vacation. There is something so liberating about packing your bags and letting everyone know that someone else has to deal because the spot you’re heading to is so remote, it’s off the grid. Give me that over a 5-star resort any day of the week. True luxury […] -
Everything You Need to Know About Flying (but were too annoyed to ask)
By Sara Bliss on April 21, 2014Refinery29 asked me to create a field guide for flying, to find out which airlines have the best mileage programs, food you actually want to eat, the grooviest lounges, the best perks (free cocktails anyone?). So I turned to 10 savvy 10 travel-industry insiders and perpetual globetrotters who make it their business to know the scoop on the airlines. Travel blogger Alexandra Baackes […] -
Viritual (Clutter-free) Vacation at The Wild Rabbit
By Sara Bliss on April 10, 2014Does your house ever look like the toy aisle at Target exploded in it? Mine does. I keep finding Play-Doh stuck in the cracks of the floor (and it’s soooo not coming out). My 2-year old has decided her favorite canvas is the living room wall (that I just painted). And Legos seem to multiply like rabbits hiding under every sofa, […] -
Inside The Jerome Hotel in Aspen
By Sara Bliss on March 31, 2014There are some hotels I just want to move into, (clearly I read waaay too much Eloise when I was little, but that’s another story). The second I walked into the Hotel Jerome in Aspen, I wanted to unpack my bags and not check out. Not to live in Aspen, mind you, but the hotel itself is totally magical. The […] -
Sneak Peek: The Amazing Guest-only Rooftop at the Capella DC
By Sara Bliss on March 13, 2014The hotel scene in DC is ….um, to be totally honest, pretty unexciting, so I was curious to check out the buzzed-about new Capella DC when I was in town last month. The location is enviable–the converted warehouse space is set on a quiet street in Georgetown overlooking the C&O Canal. Reason to book is the expansive guest-only roofdeck with a small infinity pool. […] -
Checking into Maroma on the Riveria Maya
By Sara Bliss on March 4, 2014Given how easy it is to get to (a 3-hour plus flight from NYC to Cancun and then a quick 30-minute taxi ride from the airport), I was surprised at how totally magical and lush Maroma is. I tend to associate those aaaah escapes with multiple flights and frenetic travel experiences, but getting to this lovely stretch of beach could […]
