We traveled to Porto, Portugal on our four month trip through Europe. It ended up being one of our favorite cities in Europe, if not the world!
We traveled here on a two week trip to Spain for our honeymoon. This was of the top places we wanted to visit because of its historical significance and proximity to nature.
Because Italy, of course! My parents were meeting my family (me, my husband, and our two small children) in Europe after a business trip, and since they don't make it overseas very often, we needed somewhere epic. Also, we found good deals on flights to Milan! So, Italy was a no-brainer. We decided to rent a car, and therefore decided we just wanted to stay in the Northern part of Italy, to avoid long car trips with two kids.
Honestly, it wasn't originally on our list. We were going from Italy to Portugal and the cheapest flight happened to be out of Milan.
The annual "boys trip" picked Mexico City for its incredible food, unique cultural activities, and the opportunity to visit one of the largest cities in the world.
We love nature retreats and getting away from the hustle and bustle of city. Banff seemed like the perfect getaway where we could unwind in the midst of the mighty Rockies and soak in all the enchanting landscapes.
My partner and I have friends that recently moved to Honolulu, so we knew we had to visit! We went to Maui a few years ago and were excited to explore another Hawaiian Island together.
Orlando has always held a special place in my heart. As a kid, I visited Orlando numerous times. We would rent a spacious villa just off International Drive and spend our days exploring the theme parks and indulging in delicious food. Even as I got older and stopped going on holiday with my family, I still found myself drawn to Orlando. There's just something about the city that feels like home.
I have family local to the area and wanted a tropical getaway
I wanted to go to Italy for the music, food, art and history! I ended up not getting to dive into the music part because in 2021 Covid restrictions were still very prevalent.
My husband was an anthropology major in college. He always wanted to see Machu Picchu. We took the family to Machu Picchu for his 50th birthday and our 20th anniversary!
I wanted to show my kids the Florida Keys and the Everglades
Surprise 65 birthday present to my mother from my brother and I. It’s been her dream since our family dates back to Cork County Ireland
My dad and I went on a trip here together.
I went to Amsterdam on a long weekend trip when I was studying abroad.

How to Travel Without Stressing Out?
Want to travel without losing your cool? Here's how to plan a stress-free vacation that doesn't try too hard:
- Start with the mood - ocean breeze, mountain fog, city cafes, or hammock naps
- Sprinkle in light plans - maybe a morning market, a boat ride, a long lunch
- Keep things flexible - no pressure to "see it all"
- Always leave room for doing absolutely nothing
Tip: When in doubt, choose the slower option. It'll always feel better.
Make It Your Kind of Chill
