10 days touring London, Munich, Venice, and Rome was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I wish that it was easier to jump into commitment for travel, but the reality is, a lot gets in the way; taking time off of work, saving up money, and bringing yourself to actually spend that …
The hard part is done. You’ve researched different destinations during Part 1 of planning your Eurotrip, found places that got you so excited to visit that you stay up late dreaming what it’ll be like, and you took the plunge to buy your flights. Now what? In my opinion, the absolute hardest part of travel planning …
The summer of 2016 was our best travel summer yet. Luke and I took a total of 8 trips from the start of May until today. Jacksonville Beach, Washington, D.C., Merritt Island, Kentucky, Connecticut and Martha’s Vineyard, Arizona, and Minneapolis. This brings our total trips of 2016 to…. 16 trips! Are we crazy? Maybe so. But …
When I found out I would be attending the Destination Marketing Association International’s Annual Convention in Minneapolis, the first thing I did was Google where it is. “Wow! That’s all the way up by the Dakotas!” was the first thing that ran through my mind. Growing up in the southernmost state, and then in one …

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 …
When chatting about the west coast with friends or colleagues, it seems like the cities that come up in conversation are places like LA, San Francisco, Napa Valley, and other popular California destinations. Recently however, Seattle and Portland seem to surface a little more frequently than they used to. There’s so much to do in …
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 …
