After spending 1.5 years living, traveling, and exploring Western Australia, I can honestly say it’s the most beautiful – and most underrated – state in the country. From its vibrant outback landscapes to untouched beaches and unique wildlife, WA offers a raw, authentic side of Australia that many travelers completely miss. Whether you’re road-tripping along the coast or hiking through deep red gorges, this place has a magic all its own. Here’s a glimpse into some of my favorite spots – each one full of unforgettable memories and natural beauty.
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. While not the traditional way to spend the American holiday, we still manage to get caught up in the holiday spirit and London was an incredible place to be this time of year!
I’ve always been really curious about Morocco and wanted to see the desert.
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!
Summer family trip to Italy
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.
After a whirlwind year full of planning, bridal showers, bachelor & bachelorette trips, and finally, our wedding day, my husband and I wanted to find the perfect destination to begin our life together as newlyweds. We wanted to travel somewhere beautiful, steeped in history, dotted with beaches, exciting culture, and equal opportunities for relaxation and adventure. The island of Mallorca checked all the boxes. With its stunning natural landscapes, lively cities, and delectable food - Mallorca was home to our dream honeymoon.
We took a quick trip to celebrate my husband's birthday
A Thanksgiving visit to see our daughter studying abroad in Spain.
For an amazing trip with friends, one of who is a professional photographer and had dreamed of capturing Norway on film.
Got the girl gang together to reunite from all our abroad destinations! Prague is beaming with beauty and nightlife and is the perfect destination for a girls trip.
I chose a weekend getaway in these three locations because Portugal is in close proximity to Spain, and my best friend and I wanted to do a little trip together. We chose to see Lisbon as it is a city destination where we know a few other students studying abroad, and I recommended Sintra as I went there a few years back and absolutely adored it. Nazaré is a bucket list place that I've always wanted to visit to see the world-famous surfing waves and picturesque cliffs. Portugal isn't too big so we could hop around from place to place.
My son was studying his Spring semester of college in Amsterdam and we wanted to go visit for Spring Break. We had a limited amount of time (given we also had a senior in high school) and we wanted/needed a trip that took us to places we have never seen (I had been to Europe before, but my youngest son/husband had not), made the best use of our time with our son studying abroad (we wanted to go places with him he had not been), and where we didn't need multiple wardrobes (to cut down on packing). It was quite a planning challenge! But, my husband was up for the task and everything I am sharing he planned - it was nothing short of perfect!
I wanted to experience ACL, see family, and hit the Digital Travel Summit!
