Travel in state Connecticut

When watching Maestro, it’s easy to feel as though no world exists beyond the one shared between Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Monteleagre. The film, for the most part, is concerned only with the couple, their domestic life, and the turbulence of their romance. But wherever a sense of place is cultivated to its fullest potential—in a dreamy mid-century Big Apple, for example, or on the Bernstein’s Connecticut estate, and especially across the pond in the English town of Ely—there’s magic to be found. These are the real sidewalks that Lenny and Felicia strolled along, the homes they shared, and the concert venues where he played and she waited in the wings.

At 27 years old, I completed my wanderlust dream of traveling to every country in the world as a solo female traveler.

I find great fulfillment in inspiring and educating young women to get out and pursue their passions — or whatever gets them excited in life.  

Months after Gwyneth Paltrow put her Montecito mansion’s guesthouse up on Airbnb, Martha Stewart is readying herself to get in on the action. The famed homemaker and entrepreneur has long kept a large piece of property along Pea Pond Road in Westchester County, New York; driving past it, as I often did going between my parents’ house in Connecticut and my Poughkeepsie college, you can catch a few glimpses of classic farmhouses and vast greenhouses hidden behind the stone wall.

On a sunny October afternoon in the London neighborhood of Bermondsey, a cool breeze surprised me with the winy smell of apples.

This was an appropriate prompt, too, since I was on my way to a very privileged lesson in British farmhouse cheeses at the beginning of an eight-day, cheese-themed trip to London and Somerset run by the specialty tour company Cheese Journeys.
