This summer involved a few small trips, like driving a few hours for a weekend here and there, but mostly focused on our move from Tallahassee to Miami, Florida. That took up a huge amount of resources, especially the two most important ones for travel – time and money. Thinking about how to feel like …
Ever since my trip to Portland and Las Vegas in 2016, I haven’t been able to stop dreaming about that deep shade of hunter green that I’ve only seen in the sky-reaching pine trees of Oregon. We’ve recently gone to San Diego, and we’ve done places in northern California like San Francisco, and also ventured …
After living in a college town for seven years, I have watched many friends move away since our graduation in 2014. Some moved for great jobs in big cities, some moved back home to save up money and get their careers started, and others to further their education and relocated to attend graduate school, or …

I can’t say Oslo was on the top of my bucket list before we found $350 round-trip tickets out of Orlando that flew directly to Oslo. It just wasn’t a destination I had heard a lot about. Turns out, there are endless things to do in Oslo. I can only name one person I know who …
A couple weeks right before going abroad, things honestly start to get a little bit overwhelming. When we booked our trip a couple of months ago for Europe, it felt like I had so much time to plan. Now we fly to Norway NEXT WEEK and it sure has crept up. I found myself wishing I had …
I can’t tell you the last time we chose to stay in a hotel over renting an Airbnb on a trip. This started off three years ago when Luke was living abroad. It was almost always a guarantee that when he went to Vienna or Budapest for the weekend while residing in Germany and Poland that …
Your highly anticipated adventure is finally here. You just are so excited to be surveying a new city, sipping on local suds and experience seeing the same moon you see every twilight from another place in the world.
