I visited @omnilacosta to learn about the latest Omni Originals culinary series, Season of Smoke which has now premiered across North America just in time for Autumn. 🍴Check out the #LinkInProfile with my latest blog post to learn more about my partnership with Omni.🍴Many dishes will be the same no matter which property you visit but each can also add regional flair to tweak the menu ever so slightly, perfectly fitting their location. ‘The Riff’ cocktail is included in the menu; a specially crafted cocktail made with Woodford Rye, E+J Brandy, and Campari. 🥃 At La Costa, Season of Smoke includes Caldero Duck Fat Fries with smoked ketchup, the Season of Smoke Blended Burger and Brisket Croquetas made with 16-hour smoked brisket and a breading created in house from crumbled chicharrón plus a Bacon & Bourbon Brownie Infiernillo. From Chef Jason I learned that Omni La Costa has its own beehives which produce enough honey for the restaurants on site as well as VIP guests. 🍯 🐝 There’s an elevated herb garden and Chef has plans for more extensive gardens in the future. AND one of the reasons I wanted to work with @omnihotels is their 'Goodnight to Hunger' program. Omni makes a donation to Feeding America® that provides a meal for every booking made. In one year, nearly nine million meals have been donated to help Feeding America provide nutritious meals in communities across the USA. All 60 Omni properties are actively participating and during the past year, more than 5,000 Omni associates have volunteered to help this important mission in their communities!

I’m still finding my footing as a photographer who now lives in California. For me the medium has almost always been a tool to help tell a story, one that has to be accompanied by words. However, I think this is a state that’s so naturally beautiful, sometimes you don’t need as many words. . That’s how I feel about this sunset that I captured with @dante.vincent in Malibu. Slow shutter on the Sony a7RII using our @vanguardworld tripod. I hope seeing it brings you some peace or joy. I’m still finding my footing as a photographer who now lives in California.

Did you know I have a line of bags with @kasiadietz, proceeds from which benefit organizations helping to save elephants in Africa? Well I do! 🐘 They were designed in an effort to help save African elephants from illegal poaching in Kenya and neighboring countries. 30% of the proceeds from sales will be donated to @amboseli_trust and @wildlifedirect. . It’s an initiative that I was passionate about beginning following my trip to Kenya with @amarula_official in summer of 2017 and I was so grateful when Paris-based Kasia loved the idea as well. We were both so moved by the fact that on average every day somewhere on the African continent, an elephant loses its life to illegal poaching for the ivory in its tusks every 15 minutes. . All bags were designed with love by her and I, sourced + made ethically and are fully reversible as well as named for a region where elephants roam wild. In this photo, I’m carrying the Laikipia Bag. There’s also the Tsavo, Sambura & Amboseli. Two of the bags can be folded up and carried in a matching fabric clutch which my friends saw me carrying to dinners on my recent Viking cruise. . I’ll be linking to her post and the store where you can purchase these in my Stories which will be archived in my profile as well as accessible from the link in my profile. ❤️ #kasiadietzbags #dontletthemdisappear Did you know I have a line of bags with @kasiadietz, proceeds from which benefit organizations helping to save elephants in Africa?

I ended my time at sea with @vikingcruises by disembarking in Germany (the ship went on with a new group of guests and you can see the full itinerary in my saved highlights). The most relaxing day was then had in Berlin with my loves @neumarc et @mumhad1ofthose who introduced me to @elfestivalito & @loewe7. Like the early days of Instagram — it was all about community. We visitors came with open hearts and zero expectations but tons of gratitude as Heiko and Thai showed us their Berlin. Since I’d been before, many times, there was a part of me that thought I’d know what to expect but they completely blew me away by showing us a side of the city that I never could have imagined. There was no ego, no secrets, no posturing. There was just a group of photographers who met through Instagram, doing what we do best. Taking photos. We walked nearly from one side of the city to the other, through what was once East Berlin and as well through what was once West Berlin. I saw people of all races and ethnicities making the city their home and I experienced so many different stories from so many different sides that I’ll probably never be able to process it all. We ended here, looking out over the city. Each in quiet contemplation. I never did get us all in one image together but Heiko came close with a photo he tagged me in that you can find via my profile. If you’re ever down about this app and what it’s become, travel to a city where you know people only because of the ‘gram and ask them to show you their city. I think, and hope, you’ll be reminded of what’s still great here. I know I was. . . This wasn’t part of the Viking program or itinerary. It was how we spent our free day before flying home the next. And yet I’m so grateful to the brand for allowing that extra day in the schedule instead of insisting we fly home right after disembarking. It’s not often I’m hosted by companies who know what I want and need before I even think of it myself. 🙏🏼❤️ #myvikingstory #communityfirst #friendbygram #dasistberlin I ended my time at sea with @vikingcruises by disembarking in Germany (the ship went on with a new group of guests and you can see the full itinerary in my saved highlights).

Before I conclude my stories about my recent experience on the Baltic Sea hosted by @vikingcruises - I wanted to take you on board the ship. With only 10 photos or videos in a carousel, I struggled with what to share. Having shared the outside of the ship when I talked about our cruise through the Swedish Archipelago, I thought it would be fun to take you inside the ship. But then I had to whittle it down from over 50 photos and videos that I wanted to share to just these 10. From the top deck, to my cabin, to the incredible culinary program and one of the best spas I’ve ever been to on land or at sea; I hope this is a good overview but the true, full “picture” needs to wait for the length of a blog post. . The irony is that until my mum did a river cruise with Viking and RAVED about it, I wasn’t actually sure I was the cruising type. Having been aboard many a ship in port in New York’s harbor, I thought most, if not all, were gaudy and gross. Yet from my first experience with her aboard a river cruise to this experience on the Viking Star - I’ve found everything about Viking to set them apart from their competition. The design is not gaudy, the food is amazing, they are encouraging of women in senior leadership positions & they’ve worked hard to innovate environmentally coming up with ways to reduce sulfur in a ship’s exhaust and anything else they can do to be as eco-friendly a cruise line as is possible. AND they value the arts, history and learning as the most important components of a travel experience as I do! They don’t pay me to talk about them but the truth is I do so with more enthusiasm than most brands who do pay me. I truly ❤️ Viking! 🛳 #myvikingstory #vikingcruises #myvikingjourney Before I conclude my stories about my recent experience on the Baltic Sea hosted by @vikingcruises - I wanted to take you on board the ship.

It’s been more than 10 days since I was in Tallinn, Estonia on a hosted journey with @vikingcruises and there’s a part of me that still doesn’t want to let go of that day. But I have to let go and move on to other stories because there are so many to share. Since this was taken, I have had an amazing day at sea on the Baltic, I had an inspiring day in Berlin, wonderful moments at home with @dante.vincent and now some blissful days back up in Canada again with Fairmont Hotels. . On paper my life doesn’t look great right now, nor does the situation down in the USA — so many of those things we just don’t talk about because we don’t want to bum anyone out here on social, right — but my heart is full to overflowing as I write this giving thanks for the things I can, and I hope yours is the same as you read this. If it’s not, what can we do to change that? . And since I love to give a little history or story with every post, did you know: Estonia is one of the few countries that celebrates two Independence days, February 24 and August 20. The latter celebrates Estonia’s independence after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Estonia100 celebrations refer to the first Estonian independence in 1918. Also, Skype started in Estonia AND many people claim the first Christmas Tree was erected in either Tallinn or Riga. . Thank you @monicasuma for capturing this moment in my gifted @obermeyer coat which kept me warm till the sun was at full strength. So grateful for the brand continuing to want to work with me when I’m the opposite of the typical person who talks about clothes here on IG. It means the world to me. 🇪🇪 #myvikingstory #vikingcruises #tallinnoldtown It’s been more than 10 days since I was in Tallinn, Estonia on a hosted journey with @vikingcruises and there’s a part of me that still doesn’t want to let go of that day.

The earliest recorded mention of Tallinn dates to 1154, making it one of Europe’s oldest capitals, and it’s from an Arab cartographer who marked it on the map he created of what was then the known world. It’s also been known by the German name, Reval. And while not every building in Tallinn is as old as 1100, what I loved most about the city is how the salmon-colored rooftops hide a variety of architecture styles that span almost all the recorded time since that map was made including outside the Old Town - where innovative modern architecture and thoughtful conservation of older buildings communicates the city’s present as a tech-forward, progressive city looking to be a humble leader for the now. And while that’s something I want to go back to learn more about, it was the Old Town — pictured here — that I spent the most time in during this my first ever visit to Tallinn, Estonia. It was simply wonderful exploring the winding streets of cobblestone with @monicasuma, @mumhad1ofthose & @neumarc before pausing for the most sublime lunch at Rataskaevu 16 and later craft cocktails at @botaanikbar. It was easy for us to discover this overlook spot just by walking around - but you can also visit it during the included walking tour that’s part of @vikingcruises program in Tallinn. More on this city & country now live in Stories and also in tomorrow’s post! 🇪🇪 #myvikingstory #vikingcruises #tallinnoldtown The earliest recorded mention of Tallinn dates to 1154, making it one of Europe’s oldest capitals, and it’s from an Arab cartographer who marked it on the map he created of what was then the known world.

Have you ever been to Tallinn? It was the city that surprised me most during this cruise of the Baltic Sea. I expected to love Stockholm and Helsinki because of the family connection but I knew very little about Estonia. Purposefully, I decided to keep it that way so that I’d have at least one true surprise during this trip. I don’t know if it blew me away because my expectations were so low or if it’s because it’s that dang charming!! But I’ll be sharing three posts total from the city that I explored with my luvs @neumarc, @mumhad1ofthose & @monicasuma - so you can decide for yourself and I’m also catching up on Stories from this journey finally so tonight I’ll also be uploading video from my time in Tallinn on this hosted trip with @vikingcruises. All of it will be archived in my profile. I’m looking forward to your thoughts - and hopefully you will be inspired to visit too, if you haven’t yet been! 🇪🇪 #myvikingstory #vikingcruises #tallinnoldtown Have you ever been to Tallinn?

I saw people of all races and ethnicities making the city their home and I experienced so many different stories from so many different sides that I’ll probably never be able to process it all. We ended here, looking out over the city. Each in quiet contemplation. I never did get us all in one image together but Heiko came close with a photo he tagged me in that you can find via my profile. If you’re ever down about this app and what it’s become, travel to a city where you know people only because of the ‘gram and ask them to show you their city. I think, and hope, you’ll be reminded of what’s still great here. I know I was. . . This wasn’t part of the Viking program or itinerary. It was how we spent our free day before flying home the next. And yet I’m so grateful to the brand for allowing that extra day in the schedule instead of insisting we fly home right after disembarking. It’s not often I’m hosted by companies who know what I want and need before I even think of it myself. 🙏🏼❤️ #myvikingstory #communityfirst #friendbygram #dasistberlin I ended my time at sea with @vikingcruises by disembarking in Germany (the ship went on with a new group of guests and you can see the full itinerary in my saved highlights). The most relaxing day was then had in Berlin with my loves @neumarc et @mumhad1ofthose who introduced me to @elfestivalito & @loewe7. Like the early days of Instagram — it was all about community. We visitors came with open hearts and zero expectations but tons of gratitude as Heiko and Thai showed us their Berlin. Since I’d been before, many times, there was a part of me that thought I’d know what to expect but they completely blew me away by showing us a side of the city that I never could have imagined.

Before I conclude my stories about my recent experience on the Baltic Sea hosted by @vikingcruises - I wanted to take you on board the ship. With only 10 photos or videos in a carousel, I struggled with what to share. Having shared the outside of the ship when I talked about our cruise through the Swedish Archipelago, I thought it would be fun to take you inside the ship. But then I had to whittle it down from over 50 photos and videos that I wanted to share to just these 10. From the top deck, to my cabin, to the incredible culinary program and one of the best spas I’ve ever been to on land or at sea; I hope this is a good overview but the true, full “picture” needs to wait for the length of a blog post. . The irony is that until my mum did a river cruise with Viking and RAVED about it, I wasn’t actually sure I was the cruising type. Having been aboard many a ship in port in New York’s harbor, I thought most, if not all, were gaudy and gross. Yet from my first experience with her aboard a river cruise to this experience on the Viking Star - I’ve found everything about Viking to set them apart from their competition. The design is not gaudy, the food is amazing, they are encouraging of women in senior leadership positions & they’ve worked hard to innovate environmentally coming up with ways to reduce sulfur in a ship’s exhaust and anything else they can do to be as eco-friendly a cruise line as is possible. AND they value the arts, history and learning as the most important components of a travel experience as I do! They don’t pay me to talk about them but the truth is I do so with more enthusiasm than most brands who do pay me. I truly ❤️ Viking! 🛳 #myvikingstory #vikingcruises #myvikingjourney Before I conclude my stories about my recent experience on the Baltic Sea hosted by @vikingcruises - I wanted to take you on board the ship.

It’s been more than 10 days since I was in Tallinn, Estonia on a hosted journey with @vikingcruises and there’s a part of me that still doesn’t want to let go of that day. But I have to let go and move on to other stories because there are so many to share. Since this was taken, I have had an amazing day at sea on the Baltic, I had an inspiring day in Berlin, wonderful moments at home with @dante.vincent and now some blissful days back up in Canada again with Fairmont Hotels. . On paper my life doesn’t look great right now, nor does the situation down in the USA — so many of those things we just don’t talk about because we don’t want to bum anyone out here on social, right — but my heart is full to overflowing as I write this giving thanks for the things I can, and I hope yours is the same as you read this. If it’s not, what can we do to change that? . And since I love to give a little history or story with every post, did you know: Estonia is one of the few countries that celebrates two Independence days, February 24 and August 20. The latter celebrates Estonia’s independence after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Estonia100 celebrations refer to the first Estonian independence in 1918. Also, Skype started in Estonia AND many people claim the first Christmas Tree was erected in either Tallinn or Riga. . Thank you @monicasuma for capturing this moment in my gifted @obermeyer coat which kept me warm till the sun was at full strength. So grateful for the brand continuing to want to work with me when I’m the opposite of the typical person who talks about clothes here on IG. It means the world to me. 🇪🇪 #myvikingstory #vikingcruises #tallinnoldtown It’s been more than 10 days since I was in Tallinn, Estonia on a hosted journey with @vikingcruises and there’s a part of me that still doesn’t want to let go of that day.

The earliest recorded mention of Tallinn dates to 1154, making it one of Europe’s oldest capitals, and it’s from an Arab cartographer who marked it on the map he created of what was then the known world. It’s also been known by the German name, Reval. And while not every building in Tallinn is as old as 1100, what I loved most about the city is how the salmon-colored rooftops hide a variety of architecture styles that span almost all the recorded time since that map was made including outside the Old Town - where innovative modern architecture and thoughtful conservation of older buildings communicates the city’s present as a tech-forward, progressive city looking to be a humble leader for the now. And while that’s something I want to go back to learn more about, it was the Old Town — pictured here — that I spent the most time in during this my first ever visit to Tallinn, Estonia. It was simply wonderful exploring the winding streets of cobblestone with @monicasuma, @mumhad1ofthose & @neumarc before pausing for the most sublime lunch at Rataskaevu 16 and later craft cocktails at @botaanikbar. It was easy for us to discover this overlook spot just by walking around - but you can also visit it during the included walking tour that’s part of @vikingcruises program in Tallinn. More on this city & country now live in Stories and also in tomorrow’s post! 🇪🇪 #myvikingstory #vikingcruises #tallinnoldtown The earliest recorded mention of Tallinn dates to 1154, making it one of Europe’s oldest capitals, and it’s from an Arab cartographer who marked it on the map he created of what was then the known world.

Have you ever been to Tallinn? It was the city that surprised me most during this cruise of the Baltic Sea. I expected to love Stockholm and Helsinki because of the family connection but I knew very little about Estonia. Purposefully, I decided to keep it that way so that I’d have at least one true surprise during this trip. I don’t know if it blew me away because my expectations were so low or if it’s because it’s that dang charming!! But I’ll be sharing three posts total from the city that I explored with my luvs @neumarc, @mumhad1ofthose & @monicasuma - so you can decide for yourself and I’m also catching up on Stories from this journey finally so tonight I’ll also be uploading video from my time in Tallinn on this hosted trip with @vikingcruises. All of it will be archived in my profile. I’m looking forward to your thoughts - and hopefully you will be inspired to visit too, if you haven’t yet been! 🇪🇪 #myvikingstory #vikingcruises #tallinnoldtown Have you ever been to Tallinn?

I had two extraordinary experiences in St. Petersburg with @vikingcruises, who value the arts as I do. The second, seeing the Russian Ballet perform Swan Lake in Catherine the Great’s private theater, I can’t share photos of because we weren’t allowed to take any. Photos wouldn’t do it justice anyway! The first though, seeing the city’s Impressionist Collection at a recently restored building in the @hermitage_museum collection — one that has a superb view of the Winter Palace, shown in the first photo — I can not recommend highly enough. I’ve been to the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, visited all the paintings by Impressionists that I can find in Paris as well as our museums in the United States. I was still BLOWN AWAY by the art I saw in St. Petersburg. Room after room after room is dedicated to Gauguin, Van Gogh, Degas, Renoir, Matisse, Monet, Manet; and there were significant works by Bonnard, Denis, Picasso, Kandinsky, Rodin — that I’d never seen before or only seen in books. You could go back every day for a week and not be able to fully appreciate every single painting, so extensive was the collection. I did try though! Like the little girl in the second photo, I found myself separate from the group at times, content in solitary wonder at the depth of the talent on display in the beautiful works of art before me; a reminder that childlike wonder is always worth taking the time for. 🇷🇺 #MyVikingStory #VikingCruises #hermitage_museum #stpetersburgrussia I had two extraordinary experiences in St. Petersburg with @vikingcruises, who value the arts as I do.

I had long ago heard that Helsinki is a 'city of architecture' and one of the youngest capitals in Europe, with a founding date in December 1550. It was really known first for Neoclassical architecture. Later it became the largest concentration of Jugendstil buildings and National Romanticism in the world. From restaurants to department stores to apartment buildings, you can see these styles all over. A love of beautiful architecture continued with the people of Finland as Art Deco and names such as Eliel Saarinen and Alvar Aalto helped put the country’s modern architecture on the map as well. I was so impressed by all of this because I love architecture but I also enjoyed seeing the wonderful network of trams that criss cross the city featuring older and newer cars in green and yellow. Helsinki seems like such an easy city to navigate in a way that de-emphasizes the need for a car. Later I read that Helsinki was founded by King Gustavus Vasa of Sweden, which the land we now know as Finland was part of for many centuries. Vasa intended it to be an important trading post in southern Finland, and a competitor to Tallinn which we will visit after St. Petersburg. The last thing I loved about Helsinki, was seeing my mother’s maiden name on street signs all over the city. Between Sweden and Finland, I see almost every aspect of the culture I grew up with displayed in some form or another. I can’t wait to return to both countries for longer so that I can better understand my heritage — but for now I am grateful to have finally stood on these shores thanks to @vikingcruises 🇫🇮 #MyVikingStory #vikingcruises #helsinkifindland I had long ago heard that Helsinki is a 'city of architecture' and one of the youngest capitals in Europe, with a founding date in December 1550.

Stockholm is situated on 14 islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea and the archipelago of a further 30,000 islands begins. It is the largest archipelago in Sweden, and the second-largest archipelago in the Baltic Sea, which is the region we are exploring on this hosted ‘Viking Homelands’ itinerary with @vikingcruises I could not wait to be on deck for the sailing out, as we departed Sweden bound for Helsinki, Finland! Being on the water in any kind of boat from kayak to sailboat to small ship — makes me as giddy as a kid. The light was constantly changing as huge cloud banks rolled over the islands, cabins and boats we passed. Every time a white sailboat came into view I took a dozen photos. I loved the way they shined like pearls against the cobalt and jade of the scenery. I was so glad we departed during the day and not at night. To miss one of the most beautiful parts of Sweden would have been sad. And now that I know you can rent some of the cabins on the islands, I want to return and do that next, spending more time learning about the culture and heritage of my mother’s family! 🇸🇪 #MyVikingStory #vikingcruises Stockholm is situated on 14 islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea and the archipelago of a further 30,000 islands begins.
