Rovinj is possibly an overlooked destination in Croatia. It’s hard to stand out against the Dalmatian Islands or Dubrovnik, but little Rovinj does just that. Welcome to my Eat+Stay+Play: Rovinj travel guide! If you’re curious about any of my other E+S+P guides, you can check them all out here. As part of our Balkans trip, […]
Sailing the Dalmatian Islands was one of the most amazing things we’ve ever done. Describing the experience as EPIC might not even do it justice. This post is one that I’ve been really excited to share with you since the day we arrived on board. We first looked into chartering a boat for a few […]
We spent a day on Lake Bled while on our Ljubljana leg of our Balkans trip, and let me tell you…it is STUNNING in every way! It’s an easy day trip from Ljubljana and allows you to get out of the city and see some of the gorgeous Slovenian countryside. Related: Be sure to check […]
While most people think of Dubrovnik when it comes to dragons, it’s actually Ljubljana that is considered a possible dragon’s lair. According to mythological legend, Jason (and the Argonauts) slayed a dragon in a nearby swamp. The city symbol is also a dragon and you’ll see it on top of the Ljubljana Castle tower, in […]
It’s good to finally be back! After traveling for the better part of a month, it feels good to be home and back to a routine. Sorry to leave you guys hanging for so long, but hopefully you followed along on my Instagram! I have so much to share from our trip to the Balkans, […]
Before getting into today’s Eat+Stay+Play travel guide, I just want to say a quick thank you for all your sweet messages of support and encouragement on my decision to take Cathedrals & Cafes into a full time gig. If you missed that post, you can read all about how I made the jump to blogging […]
They say the best way to get over your fears is to face them head on, so what better way for me to face my fear of flying than taking a seaplane, right? I have to admit that I was a little nervous. Ok, maybe a lot nervous. I was really glad we stopped for […]
If I had a dollar for every time someone has told me they don’t want to go to Paris (or France, really) because they don’t like French food or they think the service will be terrible, I could probably afford that lovely little Parisian pied-à-terre I’ve always dreamed of. I’d like to dedicate this post […]
Before launching into my 15 instagrammable spots in Paris, I’d like to start with a few photography guide rules. I love taking pictures and finding the best spots for that one epic photo. Pictures capture memories and if you love photography, there’s nothing better than looking back on a photo and remembering what it felt […]
Welcome to my Eat+Stay+Play travel guide for Paris! I’m really excited to bring you this travel guide because although we’ve been to Paris before, we had never been in winter right before Christmas. Paris is magical in winter and I’m happy to share all the fun things we found to do. If you follow me […]
Paris is my favorite European city and I’m so happy to be returning for a third time. The Seine, those baguettes, French wine, ooh la la…(I’ve never heard an actual French person say ooh la la, by the way). I find inspiration in all things Parisian, but one thing I’m always studying is what Parisian […]
Ah, Vegas. The adult playground we know and love. But do you ever find reasons to go off the strip? I mean, off Las Vegas Boulevard and away from the glittering neon facades of the big name casino hotels. If you haven’t, then I’d like to shed some light on reasons why off-the-strip Vegas is […]
I thought it would be fun to share what I packed for Vegas last weekend! We looked forward to our little Fall weekend getaway for months, but planning what to pack for Fall in the desert can be a challenge (I mean you want to pack that “special” dress or fun outfit because, hello it’s […]

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 […]
The Land of Enchantment was good to us. A spiritual vibe floats along desert winds, dancing through cottonwood trees and blanketing the mesas. I’ve only ever seen New Mexico from the window of an airplane and the snow-covered slopes of Taos ski valley, so I was ready to feel the warm early summer sun and […]
