I moved abroad to reinvent my life. I forgot to change my dating habits.
Nine days into 2025, I stood at gate G7 in Amsterdam waiting to board my flight to Cape Verde to build a nomadic life on my own terms. A year and a half later, strangely enough, I’m still here. The temporary adventure turned into a life, complete with friends, routines, and a man who, after
I ate at Gordon Ramsay, Lisa Vanderpump, and Giada De Laurentiis’ Las Vegas restaurants. One got every dish right.

We paid $1,586 to book a private room and bring our car on the Amtrak Auto Train. For us, the pros outweighed the cons.
Although I didn’t get much sleep on board, our overall experience in a private bedroom on the Auto Train was actually better than expected. Our ride felt like solid value, especially since I was taking a longer trip and could avoid the cost of renting a car once we got to Florida, where I was
My rent-stabilized NYC apartment doesn’t even have a bathroom sink, but I can never leave the 380-square-foot gem
My three-story walk-up apartment in the West Village has some dreamy qualities: original exposed brick walls, classic crown molding, and a claw-foot tub. Perhaps best of all, it’s rent-stabilized, meaning annual rent increases are capped, and tenants retain the right to renew the lease each year…
