I traveled to Turkey for something deeper than just sightseeing — I went to reconnect. Months earlier, during an Erasmus program in Bansko, I met a wonderful group of Turkish friends who instantly made me feel welcome, understood, and supported. Our connection was effortless, and when they invited me to visit them in Ankara, I knew I had to go.

I traveled to Turkey because I wanted to experience their culture through their eyes — the food they love, the places they cherish, the everyday life they wanted to share with me.

When Sapa suddenly blew up on social media — with misty mountains, cable cars disappearing into the clouds, and people calling it the “Europe of Asia” — it instantly made its way to our travel bucket list. So when seat sales and matching schedules finally aligned, we packed our sweaters, booked our Klook tickets, and set off for a five-day Northern Vietnam adventure — chasing mountain views, cozy weather, and bowls of steaming pho.

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 started our Italy trip in Rome and knew we wanted to explore the south of Italy. Our plan was to make it all the way around the boot and then end in Sicily, a place my boyfriend has wanted to see for a while. We ended up skipping most of the boot because there was a really easy overnight ferry from Naples to Palermo. So off to Sicily we went!
