Posted: 8/12/2023 | August 12th, 2023 Road trips are one of my favorite ways to explore a country. They give you the freedom to go where you want, travel away from the tourist crowds, and usually even save you money compared to taking trains, buses, or flights. I’ve been on countless road trips over the […]

Posted: 8/12/2023 | August 12th, 2023 Known for its lush forests, active volcanoes, white-sand beaches, and incredible wildlife, Costa Rica is a favorite among travelers. It was the place that ignited my wanderlust (so it holds a special place in my heart). Sandwiched between the Caribbean and Pacific Oceans, this small country has a lot […]

Posted: 7/31/23 | July 31st, 2023 Travel insurance isn’t an exciting topic to research. When you’re planning a trip, the last thing you want to do is compare policies about theft and injuries that can occur abroad.

Posted: 7/28/2023 | July 28th, 2023 I first visited Florence in 2006. Back then, the hostels weren’t that great. There were just a few that were good (one is actually still around and is still my favorite).

Posted: 7/21/2023 | July 21st, 2023 Steeped in culture, arts, music, and history, Vienna is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. (At least I think so!) The entire historic center of Vienna is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is filled with countless museums and art galleries, grand Baroque palaces, traditional markets, […]

Last Updated: 7/17/2023 | July 17th, 2023 Planning a trip can be stressful. Where do you start? What’s step one? What’s step two? Will everything work out OK? Is there a best route to take? How figure out what to do? What do you book first? There’s a lot to think about, especially if you’re […]

While a lot of people come to party on honky tonk lined Broadway Street, Nashville has way more than a bachlor/bachlorette spot.
