Brussels is often written off as a “must-visit” city in Europe. With nearby Paris and Amsterdam, Brussels tends to be skipped over. My expectations were pretty low for Brussels, but I was pleasantly surprised with how beautiful (and tasty!) this city is. If you are still hesitant, grab a cup of coffee (this is a …
Headed to Italy soon? If you’re flying within Europe and want to visit Tuscany the cheapest airport is likely to be Pisa. Now, we all know Pisa for the leaning tower. And, while I’m sure it’s a cool spot, we fell in love with Pisa for a different reason. It was our last day of …
In recent years, I’ve started traveling by myself more and more. When you’re traveling alone, you really need to be able to manage your stuff. It helps you stay safe in a hostel, it makes you more mobile/adaptable to unexpected changes, and it’s easier to pick up your stuff when you have to go to …
When we were planning our trip to Scotland, I stumbled across a blog from Sugar and Soul and knew that we had to make the Isle of Skye a part of our trip. White sand beaches, turquoise sea, rolling green mountains, and tranquil creeks and waterfalls dotting the landscape give the Isle of Skye the appearance of another …
Over the past two years, we’ve traveled a LOT. Despite exploring many unique “off-the-beaten-track” regions we were never “wowed” by anything. We loved a lot of places, but never visited a place that we were 100% certain we would be back. Enter Spain. I’m gutted that we waited until our last month in Europe to explore this beautiful …

We’ve all been there. We travel somewhere and lose access to the internet when we “desperately” need it. On our Scotland trip, my best friend and I ventured out to the Isle of Skye one early morning to do some hiking and exploring. Because I work at a tech company I was able to use 3G …
Oh, the art of spontaneous travel. I’m a planner. We don’t travel very often without every detail thought out. But, I always leave one or two days open for a “do whatever you please” kind of day to please the hubs. As this post will prove, we really should leave our plans open more often. …
When I was a kid my dad sent me off to horseback riding camp for the summer. I fell in love with every part of horseback riding (except cleaning the stalls!) and will never forget the euphoric feeling I got while riding through the woods in Georgia. Surprisingly, until a few weeks ago I hadn’t …
At the beginning of September (only 2 months after moving across the globe to Seattle), it happened — I got itchy feet again. I was scrolling through Pinterest (my guiltiest of all pleasures) and couldn’t help but dream of far-away lands that I missed dearly in Europe. Like any normal person with an itch, I …
