I am so happy to present this Eat+Stay+Play: Copenhagen travel guide for you guys! Copenhagen turned out to be one of our favorite cities from our Scandinavian trip, so I wanted to share everywhere to eat, where you should stay, and how to spend your time. If you’ve read my other Eat+Stay+Play travel guides, you […]
It’s Travel Tuesday and if you’re new around here, today’s post is another travel guide in my Eat+Stay+Play series. This post is all about Stockholm, but if you’re looking for other city guides you’ll find them under the Travel menu at the top or click here. Getting to Stockholm We arrived by overnight boat from […]
It feels like forever since I’ve done an Eat+Stay+Play guide (by the way, you can access all of the guides here) so I’m really excited to bring you this guide for Tallinn, Estonia! First of all, I cannot believe we went to Estonia. It has such a far-and-away sound to it, doesn’t it? It’s been […]
In what is the first of a few posts about our Scandinavia trip, I want to start by giving you a glimpse into our itinerary and share a little photo diary with you (I am still sorting through over 2,500 photos – praise be to cloud storage). I didn’t mean to leave you guys hanging […]
We are home from Scandinavia now and aside from swimming in loads of laundry things are pretty much back to normal. Hopefully you followed along on Instagram, because you may have noticed that last week I didn’t publish to the blog. Sometimes the balance of working full time and running my blog weighs heavily more […]
It’s no secret around here that we love our summer trips to Europe. We’ve been doing it for over a decade and we’ve been to 20 countries so far. What might be a bit of a secret, though, are some of the lesser-known and off the beaten path locations we’ve discovered while visiting some of […]
The island of Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades islands and yet might be an island that some travelers overlook. We traveled by ferry between Athens and the islands and saw fewer people disembark at the Naxos port than in Santorini or Mykonos. We planned our Greek holiday so that we had a little […]
Happy Travel Tuesday! Today I’m so excited to share part two of my four-part Greek travel guide series – all about Mykonos! Head over to part one – Eat+Stay+Play: 2 Days in Athens – in case you missed it. As with all my travel guides, don’t forget to access my free downloadable pdf of quick links […]
Welcome to the first of my four-part Greek Eat+Stay+Play series – 2 Days in Athens! I’m working on guides for the islands of Mykonos, Naxos, and Santorini as well. Greece has so much to offer. I’m not sure why it took us so long to finally get there, but I’m so glad we went. Most […]
TGIF!! I hope you’ve had an exceptional week and are ready for some weekend fun! I know that the Mr. and I have some *light* shopping and dinner planned, so be sure to follow me on Instagram (@cathedralsandcafes) for a story or two. 
Today I’m sharing my 10 favorite European locales. I have the […]
Hello and happy Monday! I hope everyone is recovering after last night’s history-making game! It has been rather gloomy, foggy, and cold the last few days and so I’ve been reminiscing on our time in the Cinque Terre. We were there in late July (yes, still playing catch up on my posts) and temperatures were […]
Italy is one of those magical places you could never see all of in an entire lifetime. Our first trip was 5 years ago and we knew we would be coming back again and again. During that trip we made sure to see every historical landmark, ruin, and museum we’d only ever seen in movies. […]
