When it comes to traveling in Europe, I have a lot on my bucket list. Spending two whole weeks in a Tuscan villa was one of them. Last summer we were able to spend a couple weeks in Provence and it was magical to say the least, so we wanted to recreate that feeling this […]
One of the best parts of visiting the French Riviera are all the beautiful little towns you can travel to in a single day. On our recent trip to Villefranche-sur-Mer, we spent an enchanting day in Èze, a magical medieval town perched high atop a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Located between St Jean Cap […]
If someone asked you, “Where is your happy place?”, what would you tell them? Is it a mountain retreat or a seaside escape? Is it a big city or a small town? Or is it simply your own backyard? While I’ll admit to having many happy places (and an affinity for sharing them with you […]
Imagine hopping a train and exploring a completely new city without having to leave your fur baby at home. Until we moved to Amsterdam, that was just a dream for us. Sure, we’ve done numerous road trips in the states but having to drive a car can be limiting in a lot of ways (and […]
I’ve always felt that even the smallest things become celebrations when you throw champagne into the mix. A beautiful glass of bubbly is almost an instant mood booster. So it’s no surprise that I couldn’t wait to go on a champagne tour in France! We’ve been on wine tours throughout France before (as well as […]
I’m always looking for ways to enjoy a little Europe at home. And I want my guests to feel the same nostalgia for that European cafe lifestyle that I feel. So, I built a little guest room coffee station so that our friends and family never have to stray too far for that extra bit […]
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 […]
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, […]
Ok, ok…so maybe I included every trip we went on in 2017 for this list of epic trips of the year. But seriously, who doesn’t say to themselves, “This is the best trip ever!” at least once on a trip? Travel is such a huge part of our life, so it’s a little difficult to […]
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 […]
As a couple who has traveled quite a bit (19 countries and counting), my husband and I are always kicking around ideas of where we would like to visit next. The conversation usually starts before we’ve even returned home from a trip. Seeing the world is something that puts life into our veins. It helps […]
I love brunch. Just the thought of having an array of sweet and savory dishes plus coffee and cocktails has me workin’ for the weekend. Brunch is a much-loved tradition. If you search Instagram for #brunch, you’ll see more than 13 million mouth-watering photos of carefully curated croissants, cappuccinos, Eggs Benedict, and of course the star of the […]
I read a short article over the weekend called 5 Signs You’re a Tourist, Not a Traveler and it got me thinking about the evolution of our travel habits. When my husband and I first started traveling internationally, we were total newbies at the entire experience. We had been all over the United States but when you go […]
It’s officially spring break here and possibly my favorite time of year. The trees are starting to come back slowly and the weather is warming up. Business is slow this week which has allowed me some time to catch up on the many house projects, hobbies, and books that otherwise are piled all around. I […]
