Welcome to our new series: Traveling While Female. Every month we will interview a woman that embodies both a creative and entrepreneurial spirit.

Valentine’s Day is here again, and with it is the prerequisite pressure on behalf of men to find that “perfect gift” for that special woman in their life. The usual Valentine’s Day fare of flowers, chocolate and lingerie are to put it nicely…boring. If your Valentine is a travel enthusiast a gift like that also […]
My latest trip took me to the island of Puerto Rico. This was going to be my first time in the Caribbean and initially I thought I would spend my time primarily on the beach. However, once I researched all that Puerto Rico had to offer, I realized merely spending time on the beach would […]

Victoria Irbaieva is a rare bird in the fashion industry in that her background includes a […]
Welcome to our interview series, Tastemaker Roundtable, an intimate conversation with global tastemakers. These are a select few of the people I meet when I am travelling that drive the energy and creativity of their cities. I will be spending time with them in order to get a “behind the scenes” perspective on what motivates […]
