Traveling to Arizona last week was quite last minute travel, even for us. I can quickly run home and pack a bag for any occasion to hop in the car and go, or even catch a flight (thanks to my packing checklist for long flights). Luke’s work brought him to Phoenix for a conference, and …
There are few places that are better suited for a romantic getaway than Martha’s Vineyard, the gorgeous island off of Massachusetts. Massachusetts was a state I had not yet experienced. I’ve only been to New England once before three years ago for a weekend, but the memories of beautiful stone walls that line the roads …
Washington, D.C. -is a city that is very dear to my heart. After spending just two months living in Georgetown three summers ago, I realized that no matter how long you spend there, you’ll never do it all. There is so much to see, eat, drink, explore – the list goes on. Being the national’s …
It seemed like almost everyone had the same response when I would tell them that I was going to Thailand: “Oh my gosh! I’ve ALWAYS wanted to go there!” It looks stunning all over Pinterest and on Travel Channel’s website, because it is. But there are some Thailand travel tips that you should know before embarking …

Portland is a place I’ve heard about for a while now. It keeps popping up on “Best X” lists; food, coffee, beer, natural beauty. There’s a lot of cool things to know about Portland, that’s for sure. It’s also very far from Florida. Across the entire country, in fact. Though I hoped I would get …
I’ve never naturally been a planner. All of my life, I have been fortunate enough to have at least one person in my close friend group that takes the initiative to plan all of our awesome endeavors. They tell us where to be on a certain date at a particular time, and we all show …
South Florida has always been a diverse area as long as I can remember. You want Cuban food? You got it. How about endless choices of art galleries to stroll through on a Saturday? Too many to count. Care for a drink on a rooftop bar? Walk in any direction and your wish shall be granted. …
