As you know, I love walking tours. Whether we are in Rome or another destination, we always look for walking tours to join mainly for one reason. While you can explore a city, town or place on your own, the insights you get by taking a guided tour is far beyond what you would get ... Read More »

Another guest post from my sister. Make sure you are full or have quick access to sugary desserts before reading! I’ve had a lot of really tasty vegan desserts in Los Angeles from RFD and even Veggie Grill. So I was extremely surprised and estatic to have found, what I believe, is a vegan muffin ... Read More »
