Craving dark chocolate, as usual
I am Irene Kontje, a traveling chocoholic currently living in New York City.
I was born in New Jersey, grew up in Maine, went to college in Boston, moved to California for ten years (Oakland, San Francisco), did a couple years of graduate school in Arizona (Thunderbird, for an International MBA), spent two years after that in Europe (Amsterdam, Geneva), and somehow landed six years ago on the wee island of Manhattan. This past May, I quit my job, packed up my apartment, and went to Spain for the summer.
My loves are reading, writing, history, photography and taking history-themed trips, camera in hand.
I hope you enjoy my little articles, essays, musings and photographs.
I’d be delighted to hear from you.
Get your little butt out there!

Your photo slide show is a gem
I have watched it at least 4 times. Very expressive, very beautiful.
A lot of good feelings in those pictures. You are a natural, keep on clicking. Thank you so much.

Thank you for telling us about these places and more importantly inspiring us with your wonderful words of magic to travel and see with our own eyes. A good writer inspires and you have opened up my door to another world. Keep trecking!
