We were in need of a getaway that included fresh air, incredible views, and nature. We had heard great things about Under Canvas, Zion and the beauty of this part of Utah. This trip checked every box we needed, and more!
I traveled here to experience the beautiful energy of the land in Sedona and enjoy nature, the people, and the town!
It's the warmest, sunniest place in Europe to escape winter! I was desperate for some sunshine, and this Canary Island delivered!
I traveled here for a birthday trip while visiting my friend who was living in San Diego.
I traveled here because I had a friend living in Seattle and wanted to see a concert at one of the most iconic venues in the United States.

Incentive trip for work
We had some spare time while visiting with my family after two years away and because my boyfriend is English and has only been to the States with me once before, I wanted to continue showing him around the country. We originally had three weeks so our plan was to head to Yosemite, but when our trip got cut short, I came up with the perfect ~2 week itinerary around the Four Corners to see places even I had never been before!
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.
I’ve always been really curious about Morocco and wanted to see the desert.
