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🤭
Newly transplanted to Colorado and excited to explore the state!
Incentive trip for work
Switzerland has always been on my bucket list!
We traveled for our honeymoon.
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 were very happy our college-age daughters’ spring break aligned with ours. Special family trip to a part of Mexico we have never enjoyed before–the paradise of Holbox!
I was feeling a little low not having gotten to the snow this season-I decided to take a quick mid week trip to my most favorite, Vail!
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.
We went on our first trip to Scotland and couldn't get enough! We went back to complete more of our bucket list items in this beautiful country. We explored a couple of the same areas, but added the West Coast and South Scotland, also known as the Scottish Borders.
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!
The Maldives is famous for its breathtaking white-sand beaches and mesmerizing underwater world. But did you know there are two very different ways to experience this tropical paradise?
You can either stay on a local island for an affordable, culture-rich experience or indulge in the luxury of a private island resort.
We wanted to experience both! Economically, the local island stay is much cheaper, offering charming boutique hotels, cozy cafés, and authentic restaurants—but no alcohol. While modest dress codes apply, designated bikini beaches let visitors swim and sunbathe freely.
But of course, you can’t leave the Maldives without trying the iconic overwater villa experience! We made it extra special by choosing one with a slide for our daughter, and it was absolutely worth it. Staying at a private island resort meant no restrictions—we could wear whatever we liked and enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset over the endless ocean.
No matter the choice, the Maldives was one of an unforgettable escapes we ever did. 🌴✨
Summer family trip to Italy
My husband is of Scottish heritage and we love the landscape of the countryside and seaside villages.
We have seen so many beautiful photos of Sri Lanka and wanted to do see what the island could offer. We couldn't be happier as we explored their jungles, safari, beach and saw its rich history. We did the famous triangle route starting in their big city, went across the other side of the island, did safari, relaxed in one of their famous beaches, explored the rich culture of Portuguese colonialism, and ate different Sri Lankan food. It was one of the best trips we have encountered.
