I had been traveling solo in Spain for a month and my girlfriend was coming to visit. Barcelona sounded like the ideal destination to go with a significant other. It had beautiful art, rich food, an exciting night life, and the beach. There are enough pop songs about it that I had to visit it myself.
I first fell in love with idea of visiting Barcelona when I watched the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona as as teenager. I was entranced by the beautiful, unique culture and the architecture of Antoni Gaudí. When the day finally came to plan my bachelorette trip, I knew exactly where I'd like to go with my three best friends.

We traveled to Portugal for its energy. For the hills that make your legs burn, the viewpoints that make you stop mid-sentence, and a city that keeps pulling you forward instead of letting you sit still.
Portugal felt alive—full of walking, climbing, getting lost, eating well, laughing a lot, and constantly saying “one more stop.” It’s the kind of place where every day turns into a mix of plans, detours, and happy accidents.
Chicago is one of my favorite places in the world that I try to visit as often as possible. On top of that, my best friends live there, so that is always a good excuse for a visit.
