I traveled to the Netherlands alone and was very happy to return to Amsterdam for the third time. It’s a city I truly love, with its beautiful canals, bike culture, and vibrant atmosphere. During the trip, I also visited Utrecht for the first time, which was exciting since I had always wanted to explore more cities in the country beyond Amsterdam.
I went to Amsterdam on a long weekend trip when I was studying abroad.
A once in a lifetime chance to see one of the best sports live with a friend in a city that travelling friends and family have always recommended
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!
Seeing some of the highlights of Central Europe by combining city trips with hiking in the Tatra Mountains.
I had an amazing four days in Sint Maarten filled with adventure, culture, and unforgettable memories. From zip lining with beautiful island views to experiencing the energy of Carnival and Bacchanal Sunday, every day felt exciting and alive. The music, dancing, costumes, and atmosphere were incredible, and the people made the experience even better with how welcoming and vibrant they were.
One of the highlights of the trip was taking a day trip to Anguilla. The beaches were beautiful, the food was amazing, and the overall vibe was peaceful and refreshing. Between exploring the islands, enjoying the culture, trying great food, and meeting amazing people, this trip was everything I needed and more. It truly felt like a perfect mix of fun, freedom, relaxation, and new experiences.
In amongst Netherlands, France, and Germany, we felt as if Belgium was an unspoken gem that did not receive the hype that it deserved.
I traveled to Switzerland because I wanted to have a different kind of trip, focused on nature, hiking, mountains, and lakes. Visiting Switzerland had been a dream of mine for a long time, and I was excited to finally explore its beautiful landscapes in person.
Paris definitely felt nevitable. A city we had all imagined for years but never properly experienced. Art, food, long walks, and that quiet promise of getting lost in a place where every street feels familiar even on your first visit.
This trip wasn’t about slowing down or doing Paris “the right way.” It was about seeing as much as we could, walking until our legs gave up, sharing croissants on random corners, and letting the city overwhelm us—in the best possible way.
Paris felt like the perfect place for that kind of chaos.
