The Guinness Storehouse
I love Guinness, so naturally I had to visit their storehouse on a recent trip to Dublin. Built in 1902, the building was the actual Guinness factory until 1988. The factory then moved to some buildings which can be seen next door. You also get the malted barley smell...
A quick trip to Miami
Last autumn I took a quick trip to Miami for a public health course. Miami is one of my absolute favorite cities - and a place I've returned to ever since I was a toddler. The course took up most of my days, but I did spend the late afternoons and evening shopping and...

One thing that has impressed me about the wine industry is the number of wine related events. I've been to small ones with only a handful of winemakers and bigger ones with 100s of different brands. As part of my studies I got to visit one of the biggest ones -...
Re-discovering Paris in the rain
I was lucky enough to visit Paris a few years ago, exploring the city in beautiful autumn weather. Heading back this winter for a conference was a different experience altogether. I got in to Paris a day early to re-discover Montmartre - one of my favorite areas....
