Imagine standing on a sole boulder suspended 3,000 feet in the air, or riding up a windy road as waterfalls pass under your car – this Norway itinerary has it all. And if you only have one week in Norway, you’re going to be kicking yourself when that week’s up. But one week in … Read more
When I found out I’d be visiting Slovenia, I realized I only knew 2 things about the country: 1.) it’s where Melania Trump was from.. not that I care, and more importantly 2.) it’s where Triglav National Park is located. I had been silently stalking Triglav National Park for years on Instagram. It’s rugged … Read more
“How do you travel so much?” is the one question a travel blogger gets asked the most. And while most of us have a few tricks up our sleeves, the answer is usually “by spending money”. As I mentioned previously, I do have a full time job that allows me to travel quite a … Read more
It’s no secret that I love Airbnb. It’s practically plastered all over my blog. I’d just rather spend a night in an interesting place submerged in the middle of a neighborhood, farm or mountainside instead of in a plain jane hotel room. Here are my favorite Airbnb’s that I stayed in during 2018: Glamping … Read more
If you’re looking for a Slovenia itinerary, you’ve come to the right place. Slovenia has a lot to offer, especially if you like scenic mountain towns, charming European cities, and ancient, cave dwelling castles. Here’s my complete itinerary for Slovenia (and I hope you love the country as much as I did)! This Slovenia itinerary … Read more
Whether you’re visiting Ljubjana as your main destination or as a precursor to Lake Bled or the Slovenian mountains, there is no lack of things to do in Ljubljana during your stay. From funky art displays to elegant violins and accordians hiding behind every corner, I found Ljubljana to be a very romantic and amusing place to … Read more
I didn’t find a ton of information while putting together my itinerary for Montenegro, but I did read one article where someone mentioned that Durmitor National Park was the prettiest place there. After a quick search on Google, I realized that this park would have to be added onto my trip. Most people stick to … Read more
You’re probably just one Google Image search away from throwing together your first Montenegro itinerary. I didn’t even know exactly where Montenegro was located when I noticed a cheap flight to Tirat on Skyscanner. After a quick Google session, Montenegro seemed like one of the prettiest places I’ve never seen.. and never heard of. This country … Read more
I was inspired recently, and not in the usual way. A friend of someone I was dating referred to me (jokingly) as a prostitute. This was because he couldn’t think of any possible way that I could be traveling so often without being a prostitute. Because all girls with travel Instagrams have to be prostitutes … Read more
Seville is the capital of Southern Spain’s Andalusia region, adorned in colorful tiled palaces and beautiful winding alleyways. Flamenco dancers and tapas line the streets and orange trees line the plazas. A city like Seville has so much to see, it was after all named #1 on Lonely Planets places to visit in 2018. So what … Read more
Everyone has their favorite travel websites. Some of us like Travel & Leisure, while others prefer Rick Steves. Honestly, I prefer to follow other bloggers for my travel advice, but if I had to choose a main stream travel resource, Lonely Planet would be it. Lonely Planet comes up with a suggested list … Read more
If you’re still using Expedia or Travelocity to find the cheapest flights, you’re doing it all wrong. If I had a quarter for every time someone asked me how I afford to travel so much, I would be traveling instead of talking to them. Finding the cheapest flight possible can be time consuming, but … Read more
“You’ll love it” was the only thing people said to me when I mentioned I’d be visiting Granada, well that and “it’s cold”. It was November in Seville and I was planning on taking a Bla Bla car to Granada in two days. Well, I didn’t get there by Bla Bla Car, but that’s neither … Read more
I use Airbnb religously when I travel. I’d way rather stay in a interesting apartment or a cozy homey getaway than a hotel. Since a lot of my friends also use Airbob a ton, I assumed that everyone was comfortable using it. When I was visiting family in Pennsylvania and Florida this winter, it … Read more
So I do this every year, and it’s always been late (i.e. a week after New Years). Maybe this year will be different. I also usually call this post “Accomplishments and Lessons Learned”, but 2017 was a hard one for a lot of people…. so let’s be real, this will mostly be lessons … Read more
A layover in Lisbon could mean hours sitting at the airport, or it could mean hours exploring ancient castles, winding along cobblestone alleyways with a mojito by your side, and washing some of the freshest seafood down with a pitcher of sangria (at a very reasonable price). Thanks to the Portuguese airline TAP, anyone planning a … Read more
With only 1 week in Greece, where do you start? When you think of Greece, you probably envision historical monuments like the Acropolis or Santorini’s famous hillside sunsets. However, there is so much more to Greece than meets the eye: the incredible Mediterranean food, the sleepless party scene, and the rolling hillsides and crystal blue waters … Read more
Santorini is almost synonymous with honeymooners – and why wouldn’t it be? A tiny island with bright white cliffside buildings, some of the best sea food and one of the most famous sunsets in the world. But, if you’re like me (hell, I’m still on at least 3 dating apps), and you don’t know if … Read more
I first saw Lake Braies while scrolling through Instagram: it’s bright blue water embraced by enormous jagged mountains that were scattered with snow and pine trees. Lake Braies was reminiscent of Canada’s Lake Louise, but smaller, almost more private. A lonely dark wood cabin stood at the end of most pictures, seeming too perfect to actually be real. It … Read more
If you would have told me a few years ago that I would be hiking through several feet of snow in the Dolomites solo, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. I first heard of South Tyrol Italy while reading through a post of one of my favorite travel bloggers. The landscape was breathtakingly … Read more
