On my trip to Thailand, I had a layover both ways in Beijing! Before travelling, I told my partner "I really wish we had more time in Beijing to visit The Great Wall of China" but it wasn't possible. Well, when we were already in Thailand we received an email to say our flight home had been changed. We actually now had a 24 hour layover in Beijing! So I think I manifested this one🤭

We had some spare time while visiting with my family after two years away and because my boyfriend is English and has only been to the States with me once before, I wanted to continue showing him around the country. We originally had three weeks so our plan was to head to Yosemite, but when our trip got cut short, I came up with the perfect ~2 week itinerary around the Four Corners to see places even I had never been before!
Traveled to see the famed New England in the prettiest time of the year! Leaves, good food, history - this trip had it all.

Cape Breton is one of the most picturesque places in Canada that we've always wanted to explore!
We were lucky enough to live in this area for the past year, and managed to gather a ton of insider tips on how to best navigate this beautiful spot on Canada's Atlantic coast.
We condensed our recommendations into a one-week itinerary. We'd recommend checking out each day and seeing if you want to add another day or two to travel a little slower and explore a specific area some more. Another day in the Highlands Park at minimum would be ideal.

We chose our Japan trip because we wanted a mix of culture, nature, and amazing food. Japan offered the perfect balance with vibrant cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, peaceful hot springs at a traditional ryokan in Hakone, and incredible meals from sushi to street snacks. It felt like the perfect blend of adventure and romance.

Our daughter was study abroad for the semester and spending the last part of her trip in London. We went over the pond to spend Thanksgiving with her.

Estes Park holds a special place in my heart, as my family took annual trips there when I was growing up. It’s a place filled with beautiful memories and nostalgia, so I decided to surprise my now husband with a trip there to celebrate our dating anniversary. Visiting in the fall made it even more magical, with the vibrant leaves changing colors and the chance to witness elk during their rut season.

Thailand has always been one of our favorite getaway destinations, especially since it’s just a short trip from where we live. Whenever there’s a long weekend, we find ourselves drawn back to this beautiful country—its perfect mix of shopping, culture, nature, and warm hospitality makes every visit special.
One of the things we love most about Thailand is how budget-friendly it is. You can indulge in amazing food, explore stunning sights, and experience luxury without spending a fortune. It’s a place that feels both modern and deeply rooted in tradition, where skyscrapers stand alongside historic temples, and vibrant markets buzz with energy. No matter how many times we visit, Thailand always has something new to offer, which is why we never miss a chance to return!
My husband is of Scottish heritage and we love the landscape of the countryside and seaside villages.
