Letters from Verona
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Face it, we’ve all wanted a love like Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (okay, without the double-suicide, but still.) Even in 2022, hoards of hopeless romantics travel all of the way to Verona, Italy in hopes that one of the most...

Miami – Where to Stay in South Beach
Miami is a special city to us, not only because of the warmer weather, which I was more than happy to escape the cold and rain/snow for a weekend, but also because Miami is Teraj’s hometown and a big part of the inspiration behind his album – Defy. With so many...
